NFL offseason 2025

[That Guy]

Please make sure you're reading the post you're replying to. I didn't say that wasn't the average (I even said it is). I said measuring contracts solely on average value is silly, because that has no bearing on actual earnings by the player.

We offer Terry 0m, 0m, 0m, 200m = 50m average, cut him year 3, no cost to us, and he gets a 50m average deal. that's my point. We offer him 90m guaranteed, 0/0/0 base = he makes 90m day 1, and at year 3 he's 3.5m AHEAD of the guy with the 33m average contract (a 12.5mill differential from just taking the averages).

DK's last 2 years are at 29m and 36.5m that have no guaranteed money (and at that point he'll be 30), so that's a very obvious cut point unless he's destroying the league, because you could find someone cheaper. He could be cut a year earlier I guess, but 6m more deadcap, 3m less salary and still under 30. That was mainly to apples/apples since we're generally thinking Terry is wanting 3 years.
