NFL Radio Today

I grow to hate the hags more every day.

TT and MM need to focus on putting together the type of team that will beat Seattle and SF. Not unlike the Dallas-SF tilts of the early 1990's, those are the other big dogs in the NFC hunt for the near future.

The advantage SF and Seattle will have is that it looks like they have potential franchise QBs that will be playing under very cheap contracts the next 2-3 years. Kaepernick and Wilson both played for about 600K this year and get slight bumps next year. Rodgers is still a bargain at 9-10 million while Brady and Manning are in the 18-20 range. It will be interesting to see what Flacco's contract ends up being and how it affects things. Rodgers is due for at least an 8 million/year raise in a couple of years. However, I wonder if Kaepernick and/or Wilson are going to be satisfied playing for 1/30th of what Brees, Manning, Brady, and Flacco are getting. Especially given that running QBs are much more likely to get hurt (and even more so after seeing what happened to RG3).

didn't Russell's agent already talk about getting Russell's contract re-done?
should be interesting alright...

Motto for the off season additions.

Apparently there is language in the new CBA that says rookie contracts CAN NOT be redone until after 3 years. So even if SEA agreed to it, they couldn't. It's more unfair for guys like RW and RG than the old way was to teams like OAK when it came to Jamarkup.

But let's just wait to see how these new QBs do in year 2. They seem to be better above the shoulders than Cam but I wouldn't be shocked at all to see them dip down.

Regression toward the mean...

They had Mike Ditka on the show. He said he likes Green Bay's chances next year. He's "enamored with the quarterback" and called Rodgers the best in the game.

That's "high" praise coming from someone who traded his entire draft for a stoner.
