MO, just because someone else is willing to "throw" money at player X, it doesn't mean player X is worth it. It just means that "someone else" wanted him more and was able to give more money.
Basically, no one has any idea---and that's ZERO idea---whether or not a player's contract is money "thrown" at them or not.
I mean no one has a list from the Football Gods saying "this is how much player X is actually worth." Claims like that are based on nothing.
So to be honest I take assessments like that as pretty much being just negligible.
I DO know that on 2nd contracts, there's always an annual range, and that that range goes up every year.
So this year, for example, the 2 big 2nd contracts for WRs were in the 16 M range. That's Evans and Watkins. Next year it will be higher. As in all cases, if you're not willing to pay that year's going rate, someone else is.
And that is pretty much all we really know.
