[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1094837, member: 7261"] What is a "bad deal" for 1 team, might be viewed as a "good deal" for another team. Said player might be a big improvement for their team and/or fill a hole in their roster. Maybe that player fits better in their system, as well as what they have to spend. Let's take Watson as an example, since this is "his" thread. He has 1 year left on his contract. His agent is probably talking to the Packers as well as putting feelers out with other teams as to his value to each of them in 2027 and beyond. This process gets even more intense as he gets closer to free agency without a new contract. If his agent finds out that Watson is "worth" $30M/year to the Vikings and the Packers are only offering $20M, its a no brainer. He tells his client not to resign with the Packers, get into Free Agency and sign with the Vikings. So no, a players value is not a set commodity, it is driven by supply, demand and willingness to pay. I would also propose that this value differs from team to team. Like it or not, Watson and his agent have or soon will consider him to be a free agent for 2027, whether he resigns with the Packers or leaves to sign with another team. How he plays in 2026 will ultimately determine who he is playing with and how much he will be paid in 2027. If I was Gute, I would keep him hungry/motivated, and hope it raises his playing level for 2026. [/QUOTE]
