and both the Rams and the rest of the NFL would be wrong. A DT, regardless of name is not work $20MM (11% of the total salary cap). I agree with RR on this one 100%.

The market said Suh was worth 19 M 2 years ago, when the cap was 143 M, which makes his percentage 13.2%.

And btw it;'s not "DT" we;'re discussing, it's an elite DT. Joe Greene, Merlin Olson, Randy White, Alan Page, Warren Sapp. That kind of guy.

Honestly, there's no bible or guidebook or template anywhere that says what an elite player from a position is inherently "worth." What the market pays, it pays, and if it designates an elite player from a certain position as having value, then he has that value.

  Donald wants opt out clause, I'm hearing

max1908August 21, 2017 01:56AM

  Agreed and that clause is probably the Agent's doing
