    Fell in love with St. Brown when I saw him listing all the dudes drafted ahead of him. Mike said it best - he is the emodiment of grit and has a fantastic attitude - but pairs that with incredible talent.

    I am with you 100% Mike. He has EARNED this money. I am so happy the Lions also paid Penei what the market dictates for the best RT in football. Great job, Lions brass.

    anybody knocking ARSB and Peneis deals, are bears, minny, and packers fans. When you have elite players, you pay them. its that simple. cap keeps going up, so do contracts. Lions played this very smart considering what players still have to get paid across the league. Penei is arguably the best OT in the league.

      Cap keeps going up? Sounds like maybe they should stop saying there is a cap the way people are talkin’. 🤷‍♂️

    Solid point by Rico at the end regarding other receivers expecting even more from their teams because of Amon-Ra's contract. This means that the teams the Lions find as serious competition (SF and Minnesota) will have to open their vaults wide open to keep their players. However, in this case, they are "overpaying" because Amon-Ra is a true foundational piece for what Campbell/Holmes are building in Detroit. One can add Sewell's name to that foundation too.

    But another reason is it does “send a message” and it’s to Other Players (drafted or undrafted) that if you put in the WORK.. regardless of when you’re picked/hired… You Will be Rewarded $$$ ✌️

    St. Brown has been a class act and a top tier receiver. He has been playing his ass off every game on his low rookie salary. I would rather see St. Brown (a Brad Holmes pick) get paid then bring in some past-his-prime FA and over pay them.

  • @guitary
    @guitary 7 месяцев назад

    I would pause it that if I were to start an NFL team, I would start it with Hines Ward. He did all the dirty work played whistle. The whistle was an offensive guy that called a dirty player playing the cleanest position. A position that easily allows for revenge seekers to shoot their shot. receiver that enjoyed blocking and enjoyed special teams and as often seem smiling between plays
    Saint Brown is that guy. And I would argue demonstrated he may just be a much better receiver to this.

    Gotta agree with them on this. Especially with ARSB there are still bigger names, maybe not better talented, receivers out there who are also looking for their money and the Lions just set the market early. I'm guess St Brown will not be the highest paid WR by kickoff of week 1 and this deal will look a lot better by then to the people complaining

      @Scream_96 7 месяцев назад

      @Chopski64 Hooker would have been a top 10 pick if it wasn't for his injury. Holmes loves to try and revive injured players. And the fact that Amon got a deal before Goff says a lot. Im not even saying I agree with it, just seems that may be his plan

  • @anthonycaruso2248
    @anthonycaruso2248 7 месяцев назад

    People are stupid and don't think about the future. The Lions are SMART. St. Brown gets a max deal, Penei Sewell will get a max deal, and Jared Goff will get a max deal or something very close to that. It appears as the Lions are over paying but they are not. By next year, none of these will be max deals. By year 3 people be looking at the Lions payroll thinking, that's not so bad. The second Jefferson signs a new deal St Brown will no longer be the max contract. If the lions are smart they will front load these contracts to get ready for the young talent they have coming up. By the time those guys get paid, all three players that people are complaining about will have deals outside of the top 10 in each position. The Lions could actually keep a couple of these guys and pay their young talent in a few years when the time comes. Remember Jared Goff was once a max QB, but by the time last year rolled around people were saying Goff's contract was a pretty good deal for a top QB at 39 mil. That's the way pro sports works. The fact that the Lions are the first to get these deals done shows how much better the front office has become. Had they waited till the last second, Saint Brown would be getting 150 million after other WR's all sign new max deals. Same scenario applies to Sewell and Goff, assuming the Lions can get a deal done for Goff. I'm confident they will get a deal done soon for Sewell before training camp, and that will probably be a max deal.

  • @mr.green2341
    @mr.green2341 7 месяцев назад

    Should St. Brown “get paid” well?
    Yes.
    But should it be the top “record tying” or “record breaking” contract in the league?
    That seems financially questionable.
    Then Sewell gets a record contract?
    Goff yet to make a deal, so will that have to be a record contract?
    Seems like the logic of “if you wanna be a big boy team, this is what you have to do” dictates that Goff will have to become the top paid QB in the league, right?
    Where is the salary cap? What happens when you have to cut decent supporting players around your “stars”?
    To me, I see this trend taking the Lions back down, unless the “salary cap” is a myth and you can just throw as much money as you can find at players (in which case you get the haves vs. have-nots in the league).
    I’m all for paying players very well, proportionate to how much they mean to the team, but it is still a TEAM sport, and if you have to start cutting and trading other guys to pay the headline grabbing record contracts, then that is going to backfire.
    (Also, stop oversimplifying it, Mike, with “you gotta pay the good players record amounts to be a big boy team” logic. There’s more nuance to it than that. Pay them well? Yes. Pay them so much that you have to cut important supporting framework of the team off at the knees? No, that won’t work.)

It’s still his fault. Everyone think the good players should take the “home team discount” and they also think life is fantasy football.
