This makes him the highest paid non-QB in NFL history. pic.twitter.com/2l2OCSDZxO
No idea who this is. And I’m not seeing it reported by anyone else.

Hint: it’s not.
One of the big guys would have picked it up by now.

Is this your insider source?
'cause if not, you got some explaining to do...

He will not sit out with 16 mil being thrown away and he's got 0 leverage as we have him under team control for potentially 3 more years (though I doubt he gets tagged twice).
Duke's not in the business of making other teams better, remember?
They'll probably compromise and give him like a 2 year $55 million extension or similar.

IMHO they can and should.
In 2 years it will look like a bargain.
Get it done. Bring their cap numbers down this year. Restructure Joe. Use the $$ to sign some guards (Jenkins & Scherff) and pay Trey.

This is doing something....now to actually do it. Fingers crossed.

If they get Tee and Chase extended then Burrow better have a bunch of seasons like he did last year but with his team making some deep post season runs.
This is what he pressured them for so no excuses. Even if they don’t improve the O line or the D that much you know they will tell him privately that they can’t afford it now because of the guaranteed $, lack of cap space etc. May not be true but he won’t be able to complain about it because he got exactly what he wanted.
You’ve made your bed Burrow, now go win a Super Bowl in it…

They better not give him 40 a year. He’s not better than JJ and he’s getting 35 per. I get the cap going up, but do not cave in that much.

First off he was by far the best WR in the NFL last year (triple crown) so it’s subjective that Jefferson is better.
Even if he is this is not the way it works. He will be the highest paid until the next big time guy comes up and then that guy will get the biggest contract.
The best players are not always the highest paid and if they are it won’t last for long especially with the way the cap has gone up. He’s young and should continue to put up huge numbers so in a couple of years this will probably look like a bargain.

It will be interesting to see if they can build around that.
I think the Eagles have 45ish million a year in their 2 wrs. We'd be at around 70. The Eagles draft well tio.

Cap hit fluctuates but AAV is $57,000,000

They have come to terms but Mike Brown is insisting he play both WR and cornerback. He wants to save money by playing him at two positions.
RE: "Inching closer" to getting the JaMarr Chase deal done - CottonHill - 03-14-2025
We do not draft near well enough to have 120 million tied up in 3 players. Our defense will continue to suck and Burrow and the 2 receivers will have to be perfect to even stay near 500. Just like this year.

I think it’s close enough that it’s almost purely subjective. Jettas is a better route runner, but Chase is much more of a home run threat, and can score from anywhere on the field. YAC and TD’s Chase has the edge.
If almost 30 year old Myles Garrett can reset the non-QB market, then surely a 24 year old triple crown winner is worth “caving in” for.

We do not draft well enough to let 120 mil worth of talent hit the street.
RE: "Inching closer" to getting the JaMarr Chase deal done - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 03-14-2025
The thing that makes this easier for us to pay Joe/Tee/Tray & Chase is that we don't have anyone else on the horizon who deserves big money.
And Joe has not been restructured yet.

This. Not drafting well is a reason to keep those picks that work out, not a reason to trade them for draft picks.
