Once Chase gets his deal, we really need a video on how much $$$ that 2019-20 LSU team has made in the NFL.
Gotta be slmewhere around 400m
Now just imagine how much money the NFL made off them??
Probably close to a billion….
I guess you heard Greenberg this morning
@@Drewswaggyyou realize the nfl provides the platform for them to earn this generational money right? Stop it
Definitely much more than that my friend. Every sustainable business 5x’s their investment per employee.
11:43 'neighborhood', from Rich, needs the drop "That's a very respectable neighborhood" (De Niro to Grodin in Midnight Run).
Jerry is playing at a higher plateau……..
A hotdog and beer just went up to $ 50.00
How
No, that’s not how it works. Owners want you to think it works that way, but it doesn’t.
Teams, like any business, will *always* maximize their revenue no matter how much they pay their employees and they will always pay their employees as little as they can while still maximizing revenue.
They charge so much for tickets and concessions because there are enough people willing to pay that much. It’s just supply and demand.
The owners would charge a lot even if the players weren’t paid at all.
So the players collectively bargain to get the biggest cut of the revenue they can get.
The players union has also agreed to let the owners vastly underpay younger players so veterans can be overpaid, but that’s a different issue.
@@RJM1693 I doubt the rookies contracts will change much any time soon. There is just too much risk with draft picks being a complete bust and those contracts are essentially ironclad.
Yikes you think stadium concessions are what pays the salary cap?
Kinda think he was joking.....
Still remember on draft night when the Eagles took Jalen Reagor over JJ😂😂😂
New York Giants fr screwed over the rest of the league wit that stupid ahh $40 mil/yr deal for Daniel Jones
He got what was fair market value. Like it or don't like it
Nah it was the Browns guaranteed money to that pos Deshawn Watson. And they only did that because Burrow and Chase are coming up
40 million is a good deal for a playoff winning quarterback. Unfortunately he regressed and got injured last year and now the contract looks foolish.
Um no lol. Everyone makes fun of it but the market adjust
Nope it was Dak when he got 40 never should have gotten that
Jerry Jones is a fool..worst GM in the NFL...And I am a cowboy fan since 66 or 58 years...
13% plus of the salary cap spent on a WR! DANG!
Imagine allocating 30% of the salary cap on a QB and a star WR then juggle the rest on 51+10 guys.
Sorry bud that is total BS - per Spotrac Jettas is 3.33% of the Vikes 2024 salary cap, and 5.6% of the estimated 2025 salary cap. (And their QB Darnold is about 2%, and McCarthy should be about the same another 2%).
Let's not play guessing games beyond that. We just saw the entire analytical community get this year's cap wrong be about $12m or 5% and that was the current year.
@@robe2504 I was talking about year average and when I wrote the fine details about the contract weren't out yet.
And yes the 30% was hypothetical but it's not far fetched. Actually, look at the Cowboys: Dak and Lawrence account for 29.72% and their top five players for a whopping 48.36%
Stephen and Jerry always say they want to save cap space so they can sign their own guys and then drag their feet in doing so and end up paying more. They see themselves as great negotiators but they usually end up paying more. I do not understand their logic. Truly baffling.
That’s why the Cowboys will NEVER EVER GET ANOTHER RING until Jerry is gone!
No way Lamb should get paid as much as JJ.
Why not? It's entirely between him and Jerry Jones.
Obviously the rising cap drives all this but it’s interesting that WR pay is going up like this while at the same time there are so many good WR in each draft now.
Good but not great
They’re not Jefferson.
It’s definitely an offensive league!
No shade on Jefferson but the win/loss record will not warrant the contract. The Vikings are still the third best in their division.
Correct so why even bother with that contract. I would have just traded him for tons of picks
Only reason Vikings weren't a playoff team last season was because half their team was on IR.
@@eodyn7 Welcome to the NFL where every team battles lotes of injuries. Every team can say this. Teams that have won the SB have had as many as 17 players on IR.
@@landonic81 How many with a carousel of backup QBs?
Except team w/l records ar not what drives top players' contracts.
The whole Malik thing was absolutely made up. The national takes on JJ and Cousins have been consistently wrong. The Vikings have said throughout that JJ was going to get paid and he did. They also had a plan to draft a QB in this class for two years and they let Cousins go and picked a QB in round 1 and got a 1st round edge too while still keeping next year’s 1st.
Doesn't matter who is throwing JJ the ball, he is HOF bound. All the stories that came out that said otherwise were all just wishful thinking by the rest of the league and fans of other teams.
Yeah and Jefferson isn’t gonna win them a SB. Cool, go get a gold jacket and let the Lombardis go to the good organizations who don’t pay WRs that type of money
This is an organization that can screw up getting draft picks in, so they tend to get the side eye with management decisions. I think they were letting things play out hoping they could get a Herschel Walker deal. They were certainly smart enough signing him before Lamb.
With how high wr's salaries are getting it will almost be a cheat code to trade them the last year of their rookie deal and draft their replacement. Bills did that this year with Diggs and Coleman.
Nfl lists vikings as going 3-14 this year. EVERY year they sh* on the vikings and EVERY year we have to prove the nfl wrong. Its so stupid
@@codyalger2792jj deserves the money. Vikings arent a bad organization we just have crap luck
Lions fan. There's only 1 receiver I've ever said, "He plays like Calvin" and that's JJ. Glad he got paid.
From a dominance standpoint I totally agree. However their game was sooo different. Calvin was faster and stronger and bigger I'd say a more physical dominance for Megatron. JJ is just so damn smooth some of the best routes I've seen ever, JJs body control is also insane. They both have that insane 50/50 ball win rate tho.
Yeah, he needs $35 mil per to feed his family 😂
He deserves it! The Vikings owed it to him just for all the fame JJets has brought to their end zones doing the Griddy! 🌠🎰
Oh yeah, that’s right. And how many rings did he have again ?? And why does JJ “deserve it” ?? For single digit TD numbers every year ?? Yeah, that’s outstanding 👍🏼👍🏼
@@stevenlitkey9354as if tds mattered bruh
As a Vikings fan I love this team and organization!
Not signing Kirk Cousins allowed for this deal to happen.
It is risky with Justin Jefferson coming off the injury.
I wish all NFL contracts were 70% salary and 30% incentives. It protects both sides.
Nobody is worth that much.
Overpaying a WR means your team is out of balance. What good is a Ferrari WR in the garage when the only thing you have to make it run is watered-down gas as QB? Ask the Dolphins and Raiders how that goes.
The way the salary cap is handled, and all the tricks and number fudging they do, it will probably be the normal case soon where you'll have 5 or 6 players on some teams making $35 mil per season.
Jefferson's salary cap hit is $8m this year and $15m next year. The fact is that Jefferson, Addison, and Hockenson combined will only cost $34m against the 2025 salary cap - less than Jettas theoretical $35m apy.
I'd like to see what Jerry Rice would've gotten in todays NFL.
When are owners EVER gonna learn, the Lombardi Trophy is not “For Sale” !! Saddle your organization with a huge contract,on ONE player. They’ll pay for this mistake for 10 years !!
😂
Just because the NFL can burn millions of dollars doesn't mean GMs should overpay two positions.
Paying OL & DBs improves the game.
Wages not going up for average workers but boy are NFL players cashing in. Way to get that bag!
And you wonder why millions of illiterate kids spent countess hours playing basketball or football instead of trying to get a marketable degree ?
No receiver is worth 35 million per.
JJ is amazing but yeah... Vikings are gonna feel that contract in a year or two when that QB room doesn't pan out and they can't afford a Veteran.
Nope
Most qb aren’t either. But you’re saying this about a guy you know is the entire offensive and reason humans actually tune in…you should factor in actual life before you say these things
@@SunniMerlotQBs are worth it. They touch the ball EVERY SINGLE PLAY. They read the defense, make audibles at the LOS, and run the ENTIRE OFFENSE
WRs are a completely dependent position. They’re only as effective as the QB makes them
@@codyalger2792 Gotta remember, JJ is a huge part of JJ mccarthy's development
Thank you from Baltimore.
Tee gone. Chase + Burrow = 100 million next year.
Your math ain’t matching bro 😂. Burrow only makes 46 million in 2025 while Chase is under contract with 21 million. Definitely shy of 100 million
@JordanT3025, you're missing the point bud...
@@PatchMcNasty what point is that exactly
@@JordanT3025that both of their cap hits after this season will cripple the Bungles
@@deemity7557 not entirely. They have 45 million in space as of right now in 2025 cap space. Depending on how soon they can get a deal done they can give up the 20 million extra they have as of 2024 season in cap space into Chase’s contract now so next season it’s not a big hit, then spread it out afterwards. The bengals have their pieces for the next 2 seasons besides a TE so they most likely won’t have a big 2025 FA anyways. Also other factors like cap space increase like it always doesn’t means more money and more space.
Vikes could win a game or two or they could make the playoffs. Who can figure them out. Either way jj deal is putting way to many eggs in one basket.
Why does the price have to go up? No quarterback should be earning more than Mahomes.
Why not? Because no QB can even polich his cleats? Any owner can pay his QB as much as he wants, it has nothing to do with performances and trophies. Look at what the Dolphins or Jags are about to do !!!
@@jeanfourcade The best player should earn the highest salary. Simple logic. Sure someone can decide to pay their quarterback more, but that kind of decision making is why they don’t win.
@@Thomas-Truth Problem: who's to say who the best player is? No one can. Everyone (coaches, GMs, owners, fans, media...) has their own opinion. Moreover, who's to forbid a team, say the Dolphins, to pay Tua twice as much as the CHiefs pay Mahomes? Dolphins ar fre to manage their cap as crazily as they see fit! So it's up to each GM to determine how much he should pay a player relatively to what he brings to the franchise (on and off the field), regardless of what other players bring to their respective teams.
I think Justin's agent must also be pretty happy today. Show me the money!
Tyreek going to want Fiddy now ; (
We should talk about these analyst and sports show hosts and pundits salaries and compare and complain about thier pay and it being too much like they do to the athletes they sure are less concerned with saving thier employers money on salary they must pay
Rich trots out an I told you so on the most predictable event ever. Way to go.
All of those stats don’t mean anything. I think paying a WR that much money is a waste.
When ever does paying a WR that much translate to a SB?
Bad deal for Minnesota, should have traded him before the draft ‼️‼️‼️
Carr and cousins are trash
So they're going going to jet sweep all season? A washed up qb that should have been a linebacker. Now a work in progress that will most likely end up being the next Daniel Jones. Good luck.
Brandon Aiyuk is also happy today. He wanted 28 a year, now that will look cheap.
Still not worth it. He catches 70 balls a year. Too much offensive talent on the team to justify another guy getting so much. Next year purdy will be up for an extensive after his 3rd year
I believe if Aiyuk would take 28 million the deal would have been done! JMO.
@@TheCephalonyes but deebo and kittle are getting up their.
Aiyuk is worth 28 million to some team out there, but just not the Niners. Like Ceph said, Niners only need 70 catches from him.
Nah he drops too many balls trade him and get some draft capital
gg Vikings. Have fun in Cancun in January for the next 6 years
Salary cap increases are fun. It was only 6 years ago that people were losing their minds that Matt Ryan broke $30 million/year in a NFL contract, now multiple WRs, edge rushers, and defensive tackles are making that. Offensive tackles are knocking on the door too: Sewell gets $28m/year and won't be top for long
It's great. Top guys give a lot to the game and keep the league alove/successful.
I love US sports. Truly. I've been there for years. Since Darryl in '86 until the '99 Steiner Y2K blackout. Sampras @ the cafeteria line.....(best TIS ad ever by the way...) - "Jeff Garlin VOICE..by the way" --
I know it's content. Does the populous there know and/or/care?
Doubt. Let's just enjoy sport and not be Dicks to each other....
Rest in Power to Stu....and the way you guys speak amazingly about him is Journalism 608. PhD class!!!!
Love from ESwatini!!!!
What's more likely, the NFC North gets 3 teams in the playoffs or Dallas makes the playoffs, lol
88 million at signing is insane but completely deserved, if I understand this correctly that leaves 52 million for base salary over the next 4 years (13 mill per year). I wonder if he will complain in a couple years about his low salary, I remember a player doing that before while completely neglecting his large sum up front.
How many playoff wins for jj,what a joke!!
Is he worth that money? Yes. Will this type of contract inhibit the Vikings ability to build a complete roster? Also yes.
So he's NOT worth the money, if paying him makes the team worse. According to your reasoning.
The WR Market is out of control.
Yeah I wouldn't pay a receiver that kind of money unless I had a better QB throwing him the ball. Better off trading him and getting picks
Wr over pays are stupid Qb is all that matters. defesive player are more important than WR RB TE FB and maybe Oline. Give a 1-5th round pick the chance to be on the field and your fine if they run just ok routes. the Qb and Oline and the Cb/Saftey/LB detimine if they get open. all the Wrs in the league have very high ability to move. its more so a reaction and time to throw thing. good oline and a good QB youre unstoppable. oline is cheaper as well.
Most Superbowl teams don't have elite wide receivers
@@techvofCap 🧢 2019 Patriots Edelman, 2020 Chiefs Tyreek Hill, 2021 Buccaneers Mike Evans, 2022 Rams Cooper Krupp, stop believing Casuals narratives.
@@TiredofTomfoolery7 yeah but its correct Wrs dont need that much money silly guy
Rich, Rich, Rich: people who have success like this do so because: they are very talented, they usually have great health, they play with other fine or even great players, usually have very fine QB's and are part of a system that fits them well. When one player gets a contract like this in the Salary Cap Era, the team is hampered in having the pieces around him to succeed as well. He is a terrific player, but let's see how he does under this contract.
Another trend that I see is the production contracting because of trying to live out the contract. With all of the guaranteed money that Justin is getting, that will probably NOT happen with him. He will try to do his best, I would guess!
An example of a team suffering like this was the Seahawks. They didn't want to lose the players that got them the Super Bowl. They just couldn't afford to keep them all and pay everyone else anything like they deserved to get. And they were not the same team after Russ finally got off of his third round draftee's contract.
Noone needs to earn more than 20M per year.
As a Lions fan this is not what I wanted. But happily we have good management setting us up for success with those 2 DB picks. Damn the NFC North is getting good.
QBs and WRs taking up half the salary cap now 😮
Half the salary cap is $127.7 million. The highest paid QB plus 2 Justin Jeffersons is still less than that.
And those teams are not gonna come anywhere close to Super Bowl Sunday.
Ceedee wasn’t signing ANY deal until Jefferson signed.
If ceedee gets more then the cowboys made a mistake 😂
I’ll tell you what the ripple effect will be. Vikings go 7-10. Addison doesn’t get a second contract. Coach and gm get fired after 2 more seasons
Nah, the Vikings won't have a full price QB while JJ is on this contract. The question will be what do they do after this contract.
I drafted jj first overall in fantasy last year. What a bust that was
Isn’t ever hot there? It is summer .. rich always has a long sleeve sweater on lol
Dallas is cooked
Holt getting some love!
One of my all time favorite players.
NFL revenues, hence the cap, go up basically 10% every year. Why is it so surprising that contracts for key positions (1-QBs, 2-WRs, 3-DLs) go up accordingly? Star actors get the big checks because they attract big crowds, hence big revenues. In the NFL, as in the film industry, the ultimate big winners are the owners/producers. Expect to see the guaranteed 60mil/y limit hit before the start of the season.
Paying all that money. Zero talent around him. Justin, you got that money. Be content with no playoffs while you're wearing that GOD AWFUL PURPLE 🤢🤮🤢🤮
If the Cowboys don’t pay Ceedee they’re in a lot of trouble.Congratulations JJettas! You earned every penny. SKOL4LIFE
`All those players getting the BAG and not a single one sniff the Super Bowl WIN!!!!! Ceedee isnt close to worth 100million....
Lol never heard of this guy. The kneeling had me quit. Now I just don't care. And now the vid is over and I can't remember what the players name is. We'll good for him $110 mill and $35 mill a year. Nice!
You would think that Rich after seeing all these contracts the past 30 years he’d understand that Dallas has tried to resign CD! He doesn’t want to resign until everyone else has so he knows what he’s worth. SMH stop acting stupid and/or naive Rich! Can’t sign a guy who won’t sign. Lamb is your typical Diva
Jettas is maybe the most deserving uber-millionaire ever. He isn't the biggest. He isn't the strongest. He isn't the fastest. He's simply the best, even by historical terms. I don't care who your cornerbacks think they are, we running Jettas lol. Skol!
I pay for winning playoff games and SuperBowls,not for regular season stats ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
It's my understanding that the guaranteed money is really 88 million. It's only 110 million only in case of injury. I could be wrong so if anybody knows better please correct me.
It’s amazing that J Jefferson’s contract could be obsolete by this time next year. Making Bank in the NFL .
You tell Lamb he isn't as good as Jefferson because he isn't. No one in their right mind takes Lamb over Jefferson. Not to mention, the vikings salary cap allowed them to do this, whereas the cowboys cap space is pitiful and they've got multiple guys they have to hand big money this year and next.
Definitely not worth it. He just blew up the salary of that team.
Rich just capping for him bc McCarthy is the QB.
No. As a cowboys fan, No. pay Micah and leave the rest out. Dak is a garbage time QB and how many receiver are great? It can’t be 20.
Tyreek smiling ear to ear
Good for J.J congratulations from a lions fan. just don't play great against us save it for Chicago and Green Bay please. lol. Man deserves it.
Lamb should not be paid more than Justin Jefferson. Jefferson been thay guy from day 1. Lamb is great, but not on JJ's level.
If more and more talented WR come out the draft, I can see the WR market ending up like the RB market. JJ is the only exception. Why pay 1 when you can get a younger guy for cheap.
Lamb holdout is a lock simply because Jerry is not paying anybody until Dallas males the SB at least, at they won't.
I'm not sure what the Viking's front office is on but I want some. Jefferson isn't worth that kind of money. Get Real !!!
When Jordon Love signs his mega-deal, Packers will have a two year window to win with the young receiving corps still on rookie deals.
I’m glad the owners are paying up. The players deserve it. They will make more money if they sign good players, as it should be.
You're wrong about ceedee being part of the solution. He was as bad as any of the cowboys (lot of early drops in that playoff game)
Injury in week three, trade him during the off season. The script is already set for the Vikings.
It's so nice to see you guys giving 150 millionaire players Roku sticks and sweatshirts
$110M guaranteed for 10 receptions/game (on a good day)? Salaries are out of control.
I can’t wait to see the day where the nfl salary cap does not go up. You will have 32 teams panicking
Am I the only one disappointed at the lack of the Tua drop “I don’t know about you but that look like money”
And next year he has a career ending injury, and viking fans will ask what were thinking giving him that contract.
I wish they would stop publicizing these guys contracts, its none of our business and i dont care
CeeDee had one good season, he isn't in JJ's universe.
Oh please. Jefferson has been the only option in Minn his entire career.
CeeDee's had to share the ball with Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Dalton Schultz, Brandon Cooks, and now Jake Ferguson. Not to mention Zeke and Pollard
Also, stop acting like 1200 yard and 1400 yard seasons are chicken scratch.
These contracts are getting more and more ridiculous. The fans are the ones who pay for this crap.
The Chiefs and Bengals prove WRs don't win SBs.
Hey Rich, what do you think J Love is gonna get on an extension/new contract?
Eisen has no idea what he's talking about. He just shows up and wings it.
Tua and Dak won't be back with their current team next season.
Now he'll be able to get that new camper-van he's always wanted!
Dak is worth about 200 dollars per year, he sucks
These contracts are ridiculous.. what a joke..
That is an unreal amount of money as a lion's fan. I'm glad we got Saint Brown done before Jefferson. Now his deal doesn't look bad at all
What?? Jefferson is better and should get more than St Brown. I love the clown, homer fans who can't see past their fandom.
@@kyliedadify never once said Brown was better than Jefferson just happy Brown for done first cuz I guarantee Brown would have got a lot more guaranteed money
Looks like it should. Jefferson just made the Lions first two picks in the 2024 draft and that probably won't help.
Jefferson is averaging nearly 200 yards against that Lions D, even with Nick Mullens throwing him the ball...
Enjoy Gibbs and his rookie contract, because those Goff and StBrown contracts are going to bit you back in 2026. Unless, of course, Lions go the Chiefs' way and restructure like crazy.
@@jeanfourcade got to remember Gibbs is a running back and the running back market isn't nearly what the wide receiver market is so be easy to sign Gibbs again and if not you just re-draft another running back
MINN better be CERTAIN they drafted their QB of the future and have a rookie deal window.
they are not..
They are obviously certain lol 😂
@@sterlingcunningham2399 Orgs can be split sometimes and guys with doubts do not speak up. Anyway the WR market is officially nuts.
Lamb is not worth it. Drops too many balls. Does not get open.
J Jetta wasn't gonna stay for anything but top dollar
Can’t go back too far, different game in past . . .
Give me 2 ones and a 3,you can have lamb!!
So you admit CeeDee is worth that much, but you won't pay him? Strange.
When was the last time a team with the top payed wr won the sb?
Dumb contract… coming off an Achilles tear. And if JJ McCarthy is a bust, his numbers will natural decrease because of that…. Should have traded him for multiple picks like the chiefs did with Tyreek.
He's not coming off an Achilles tear though. That's kirk.
Can't win a sb paying a receiver that mich
