[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1094429, member: 7261"] Anything over $300K per year is too big in my book ;) You, I and everybody else don't make a dime coming here to entertain everyone and we don't complain. :D In all seriousness though, I am trying to stop comparing NFL money to real person money. It's best to put it inside a vacuum, and focus on it as just a number and how it pertains to the other numbers in the cap equation. So if you assign 1 unit/$1M, its easier for me to stomach and also dumbed down for conversations. Each team can have 301 units count against their cap in 2026. Watson at 35 units/year, is equivalent to 11% of those units. Which is also equivalent to 2 Romeo Doubs or about 41 UDFA players/year. You play 4-5 WR's per game and you pretty much have to bank on injuries and having to dig deeper and go to 6-8 WR's suiting up for your team every season. That is a lot of units to put into just ONE player, in a game where you need at least 3-4, each game, at that position. For me, it just isn't enough bang for the buck/unit. Now I know, you can play the shifting around the units and make them less hurtful one year, and more painful in the next years, but depending on the contract and the guarantees, you still have to look at how those units and how they effect building your roster this season and for seasons to come. Honestly, I wouldn't have much of a problem with big contracts, even for Watson, if they didn't involve outrageous guaranteed money. The only thing guaranteed is that you have to account for ALL of that money, there is no guarantee on a players health or abilities. The Packers have seen big guaranteed contracts sting in the last 5 years with Bahk, Rodgers, Jaire and Gary, just to name a few. I really don't like seeing that kind of money tied up in a WR, especially one that has suffered quite a few injuries in his 4 years in the NFL. [/QUOTE]
