Predict the new money on Jordan Love’s new deal

[Joemailman]

Twitter saying it’s gonna be 50 per in new money. Seems a little high to me.

And Twitter is never wrong. I said 40-45. We'll see. 50 per year would put him at #5 right now. 45 at #8. 40 at #10. 50 per on an extension can't be ruled out since he's set to make less than 10 in 2024.

I said 40-45 too. Didn’t realize 50 was #5. Damn. They have the last year of his deal 10M. And then two years of franchise tags (40 per) So they already have him on a 3 year 90 deal, practically speaking. That puts him at a disadvantage in negotiations and motivates his side to want to get a deal done.

50 is fair…. With the way the leverage is in the teams favor, 42.5 seems doable….. But there is the matter of being disrespectful… 47.5M per in new money is my new guess.

4 years 47.5M per year in new money
Add in his one year 10M existing deal

That brings us to 5 years, 200M. A nice even number. And it’s that magic number where 200M really feels substantial. We can stop the discussion. This is the contract. Write it down in pen because it’s not changing.
