And who would blame him if he holds out for close to 40 million, as chief operator of that offense? Whew, that cap better get close to 300 million!But all the evidence indicates (2nd) contracts don't work that way. Chances are Goff will be asking for what the market is indicating for qbs the year he comes up. Chances are Rams won't offer anything much less and he wouldn't ask anything much more. Chances are it won't be a situation where JG goes "but AD held out and got 24 M." It will probably be a situation where both sides are going "x amount is the market for qb 2nd contracts this year." AD's name won't even come up. In terms of 24 M for AD, to repeat some things just for the sake of being clear, whether he gets that or something close to it again most likely has to do with the market for his position, which in his case is probably the unofficial (but real) "best defender" category, and those guys previously (Watt and Suh and Von Miller) got around 80% of the top qb's money the year they signed. It's just that right now that's probably around 24 M. (And I don't know if that's what he'll end up with but I think it will be around 22-24 M). (Which yes I think they can afford under the cap.)Again though either way, chances are nothing they do with AD will have anything to do with Goff negotiations. They will probably get that one done just like Cooks and say this is the qb amount this year (WRs on 2nd contracts in 2018 were getting around 16 M, qbs in 2018 were getting around 28 M).Hacksaw wrote:Too low an offer by whose calculation..?Just looking at how contracts work. We know 2nd contracts go up annually, so IF the Rams were offering 20 M, then, that's not in keeping with how contracts go up---Von Miller getting 19 M 3 years ago should lead to more than just 1 M more now. It would be the same as if they offered Cooks 12 M, which is what WRs were getting in 2016. That would be too low for a WR in 2018. And Cooks most likely wouldn't sign for that. So it would be low based on calculations like that. So while we're all just guessing here, that's what I base my own guesses on. I just assume that both sides are moving toward a compromise, and chances are it won't be as low as the Rams initial offer, or as high as AD's initial demand. by Elvis 5 years 7 months ago Total posts: 38381 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Hulk Smash!!!! - The All Purpose Aaron Donald Thread POST #265 RamsFanSince82 liked this post max wrote:So I think what you're saying is that if Donald signs this later this week for 24M it will be totally a coincidence that Jake reported it today.And now that he hasn't, what's your take?

(Which yes I think they can afford under the cap.)Again though either way, chances are nothing they do with AD will have anything to do with Goff negotiations. They will probably get that one done just like Cooks and say this is the qb amount this year (WRs on 2nd contracts in 2018 were getting around 16 M, qbs in 2018 were getting around 28 M).Hacksaw wrote:Too low an offer by whose calculation..?Just looking at how contracts work. We know 2nd contracts go up annually, so IF the Rams were offering 20 M, then, that's not in keeping with how contracts go up---Von Miller getting 19 M 3 years ago should lead to more than just 1 M more now. It would be the same as if they offered Cooks 12 M, which is what WRs were getting in 2016. That would be too low for a WR in 2018. And Cooks most likely wouldn't sign for that. So it would be low based on calculations like that. So while we're all just guessing here, that's what I base my own guesses on. I just assume that both sides are moving toward a compromise, and chances are it won't be as low as the Rams initial offer, or as high as AD's initial demand. by Elvis 5 years 7 months ago Total posts: 38381 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Hulk Smash!!!! - The All Purpose Aaron Donald Thread POST #265 RamsFanSince82 liked this post max wrote:So I think what you're saying is that if Donald signs this later this week for 24M it will be totally a coincidence that Jake reported it today.And now that he hasn't, what's your take?
