Should Drew Play for Less $$ ?

TheOak · 02-02-2014, 03:36 PM

Market price is market price. It is set by those that pay market price, not by those that can't afford it. Lobster and QBs are not too different in that respect.

Just like that lobster some people choke and b**** when they see the price, and have the hamburger steak; some people pay and eat lobster. Because the market is not flooded with lobster they will all be bought and consumed regardless of how you feel about it's price.

Price, value, and cost are rarely the same dollar figure.

Drew will be paid $18-$20m/year by someone. I'd prefer to not face him any week of the season.

Anyone here going to give his boss back 20% on Monday?

I'm not saying he should... But if he was willing to give money back then i'd have to raise my respect meter to fit him in there.

So restructuring raises your respect level but

Immersing yourself into the culture and climate of a city....
Building a brand that will be the standard for years to come
Bringing them success, and a Super Bowl ring...
None of these things constitute as respect earners?

BTW........ Either way this goes he's not giving anything back, taking upfront money and getting off the cap is further delaying the fact that we have to pay for what we got from him which was and is over exceeding expectations!!!!

No way. He deserves every penny.

Drew isn't dumb enough to take a paycut. A pay increase is more likely

I say he's earned it like Manning, Brady, Rogers(when he has to sign)
He's totally up there with his peers
I thought his contract was going to cripple us but look at New England...
they seem to make it work. I'd even be willing to say they have far less talent than us

peers yes, but Brady's deal is different:

Tom Brady's new deal guarantees him up to $57 million from Patriots

maybe it's the millionaire wife
