mastershake Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Barkley, 4 years $60M (structured so his 2022 cap hit is only $12M, and year 4 we'd likely cut him to save $10-$15M in cap space), so it's more like a 3 year $45M contract. Daniel Jones, 3 years, $54M (2022 cap hit of $14M). Assuming we cut Golladay, even after these two potential contracts, we'd still have nearly $30M in cap space.

Derrick Henry for instance got what I think is a very reasonable 4 years $48M. This wouldn't be breaking the bank. This is a player though who, if all works out, produces like half your offensive output, and has no suitable replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Honestly if we win 10-11 games, and make the playoffs I'm going to assume two thing 1) The defense continues to carry the team 2) Barkley continues to be the only play maker on the team. Cut: Golladay/Williams First priory over Barkley/Jones Extend contracts of the 2020 draft. Dexter Lawrence 6 year, 81 million dollar contract. We cant let him leave, he's arguably a top 5 DT in the NFL. Sure we could pick up his fifth year option but he'll get a payday elsewhere the year after, or the year after the franchise tag. Xavier McKinney 4 year, 36 million. Has no pickup option in his contract, another one we dont want to let hit FA because he'll get , pay him when you have the cap to do so. Andrew Thomas 5 year record breaking contract extension, anywhere from 20-22 a year. He's the best tackle in the NFL, another one we cant let hit FA, extend him now. After that Barkley and Jones Jones: 2 year, 26 million. Still a prove it deal but provides stability, i wouldn't sign him to anything longer than two years. Barkley 4 year 44 million. Simply put would put him in the top 5 of RB contracts, but structure it for the first two year to have the majority of cap hit. However he's also a FA and I can see some team throwing a big old contract at him. But yeah extend the 2020 draft, then go after Jones and Barkley IMO.

boohyah Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I don't think the Giants are going to sign Jones. That's just me. You can't give him franchise tag money, you can't trust a long term contract based off of the possibility of one good season. Barkley is the better option for a 3 year, 4th year option year. Lawrence and Love needs to get done next season. No extensions for anyone after that, they need to wait till the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A contract at $15-$18M per year would be less than half or roughly half of what the franchise QBs are making these days, it would be a relative bargain considering we have no suitable replacement.

Last I checked it's currently around $9M estimated, so maybe that or $10-11M with a contract extension. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a commitment to Jones in any form isn't going to happen. He's in a bad spot IMO. Not getting the 5th year option picked up hurts his market overall. You could see him signing 1-2 year deals elsewhere a la Andy Dalton, where he might hit paydirt down the line but he'll have a career in the league at least. It sucks, I just think that despite what he may do this year, it's his previous years will hurt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the rate he's going now, you can't pay him less than Kamara and Zeke, he has way more effect on the game. Henry should be getting more than them. I'd give him Mc Caffrey money for 3 years tops.

Spotrac has zeke at 18 cap hit and everyone else under 12. Either way it’s just a philosophical thing for me and nothing against the player. I think 5-8% of the salary cap is a lot for that position unless you’re a running back away from contending. i think 14 mil for Jones when top qbs are 40+ mil is very good value if there are no short-term answers for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 It is a bit of an odd spot for Jones and Barkley to be in, as free agents, and for our team considering I don't know if there's any short term replacements. I just think if these guys stay healthy, if you can get these guys back in the offseason for relatively cheap/modest contracts, I think you have to consider it, but that's just my opinion. If Barkely has a cap hit of $10-12M next year, I'm not overly concerned and don't believe that breaks the bank or inhibits us from bringing on additional players. For Jones, he's not lighting it up or anything, but he's been a decent game manager who's made plays at times, and I don't believe Tyrod Taylor is a suitable starter. Small related note: It would be interesting to see if we can bring back guys like Fabian Moreau, Jihan Ward, and Nick Williams for relatively cheap (like $1-2M)...Wink seems to be able to utilize them well and they're contributing, even if Ward and Williams are only rotational guys. Julian Love is a guy I presume we want to bring back too, but he's going to have a fairly sizable contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 The franchise tag for running backs is around $9 mil. If we can’t get a deal worked out we should tag him at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Just now, The P said: The franchise tag for running backs is around $9 mil. If we can’t get a deal worked out we should tag him at least. I'd like that too if possible. By the way, on the cap hits, disregard my prior post about RB's. I must have been looking at the wrong thing. Here's the 2023 cap hits for RBs: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/2023/cap-hit/running-back/ Aaron Jones $20M (now that's overpaid) Zeke $16.7M Henry $15.8M Chubb $14.8M Cook $14.1M Mixon $12.8M McCaffrey $12M So if Barkley has a $10-12M cap hit, I believe it's mostly reasonable.

gmenroc Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Jones is a tough call....we are playing ourselves out of the tip '23 QBs...so for that reason alone, an extension is a good idea. I know we have Tyrod for another year, but if we continue to play well...we wouldn't have that high pick in '24 either. If we can get Jones in top 15 money but not top 10, I think we sign him. Definitely get Barkley, Lawrence, Thomas, and McKinnny locked down as soon as possible. Barkley 3-4 years. The others 5+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Luckily we have a few years before we need to re-sign him. Pick up his option this May and he’s locked up for 2 more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
