[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1034927, member: 7261"] Perceived "Market Value" in the NFL is an imperfect measuring stick and ties into my frustration with NFL Contracts. Players are being guaranteed and paid based off of "this is what they did and if all goes well, this is what they will do over the course of the contract and thus, this is what they are worth." Throw in multiple teams biding for the services of 1 player and high end players are often getting overpaid. Getting overpaid by millions, not a few thousand. In the case of Love, his perceived market value is based off of his 1 year of starting in the NFL, so that data is limited. At least with Goff the Lions are banking on him performing like he has the last 8 years. I could care less about the money aspect and how it effects the bottom line for the owner/team, they are going to make their money no matter what, they are going to spend their cap or close to it. What it effects for fans and the frustrating aspect for me, is the Teams Cap. and the quality of the 53 man roster. I would be 100% behind base contracts with the majority of pay coming at the end of the season, based on production. However, I know that will NEVER happen. So fine, keep guarantees and big contracts, but allow each team a 1 or 2 waiver(s) of a cut or injured (plays less than 25% of season) players cap (actual and dead) hit. Player still gets paid what was owed, but a team isn't buried as badly in the dead cap hit if the player is injured, cut or traded. Obviously, if a team was allowed to "void a cap hit" of 1 or 2 players, something would have to be changed with how much of a contract can be "shoved out". Otherwise, a team just pushes everything possible out to the 4th year and dumps the player that year. [/QUOTE]
