The Big Blue View Draft-a-Thon is coming! #nyg https://t.co/kzm9bLeC5Y
“% cap type of deal” is a myth, and was never anyone’s goal. I’m talking about guarantees. People and players routinely wonder why there aren’t more guarantees in NFL contracts, and one big reason is that players like Wilson don’t insist on them when they have the leverage.
@DanGrazianoESPN To do a % of cap type of deal, it would be impossible to know how to budget beyond one year with the cap changing year to year. And with gambling money coming, nobody has a clue what it will be in a few years. Maybe we’ll see that type of deal after cap becomes more predictable.
Again, this is the way the league wants you to think.
@DanGrazianoESPN I agree with that and you’re absolutely right. But the silver lining is it keeps an even playing field, unlike baseball where theres no cap so teams like the Yankees will always have an advantage.
You’re talking about the way the league thinks. I’m talking about what it would take to change it.
Have had good convos with people on this.
Two takeaways:
Unusual deals get done under unusual circumstances. Cousins, for example. The rest are mostly boring (4/140 was the Wilson $ an agent predicted in December).

The #Giants have two picks in the top 20, and three in the top 40 of the #NFLDraft. Eventually they have to take Eli Manning’s successor, but what if they pass on a QB altogether? Here’s one scenario: https://t.co/EkMaGO7rmA

RT @StevePoliti: Dave Gettleman sat down with one of his critics -- yours truly -- and made it clear he fully believes in the direction that he's steering the Giants. Is he right? You decide: https://t.co/UzokfbzmrX https://t.co/EFuLy0DZSV

Will the Giants pass on a QB at 6 and take one at 17? https://t.co/ur02jHKtox

Of course it is. The teams make infinitely more than the players do. There is no real “need” for a salary cap. Teams impose it to maintain control over workers’ salaries and, by extension, their profit margins. And they succeed in convincing customers it’s for the best.
@DanGrazianoESPN But that’s doesn’t mean it’s wrong does it?

This is exactly the way the owners want the fans and players to think.
@DanGrazianoESPN Allows fans to win too. Most fans want teams to keep their team's core players. Football fans don't want the NFL to become the NBA.
And this is a dumb analysis. This is what these guys make. Same with movie stars, pop stars, etc. “Worth” is such a bizarre term in these cases.
@DanGrazianoESPN No Athlete is worth Millions and Millions of dollars
This is a smart analysis. As huge as Wilson’s contract is, it’s another example (as were Luck, Rodgers, etc) of a player exercising something less than the full extent of his leverage. Wilson could have shaken up the system, if he’d wanted to.
