NFL 2017 Super Bowl Thread

Gronk is about the only active Patriot I don’t loath. So that has to mean he has some “it” factor that elevates him above the usual rabble.

I saw this article that shows Nelson and Zach low fiving eachother during a crossing route

That’s pretty cool. Having a good time enjoying the game during the most pressure moment in their careers

Good thing he caught that ball.

And doesn't he only spend his ad money? All his salary dollars are invested/not getting touched? Kinda like Marshawn Lynch did?

At least three years ago that was true. His family is not poor either, they own a chain of fitness stores. If he hasn't been dumb, I am sure he has plenty of money to walk away whenever he wants.

Niners reach a deal with Garoppolo. Looks to be 5 years, $137.5 mil, bumping Matt Stafford for the "highest paid ever" player, a title which he'll probably hold for about as long as Derek Carr did (which was less than a month).

I'll be interested to see the full terms. My initial guess is that it's like Carr's deal, in that it sells the big total salary number but is on the lower end in terms of guarantees.

Hey, remember that "Kirk Cousins is gonna get paid" discussion? Yeah, if Jimmy G can get $19.3 million per career win, Kirk Cousins gonna get PAID.

Jason Kelce sounds (and looks) like a wrestler. Man's got a whole lot of emotion bottled up.

Gotta admit, I kinda love that chant at the end.

Some are speculating he'll crack the $30m/year mark. I'm skeptical that will happen, but I think he'll the the Stafford to Garoppolo's Carr. Carr inched over the previous top mark (Luck) and then Stafford pushed the needle by $2m/year. Going $2m/year over Garoppolo would put Cousins at $29.5m/year, setting the table for Aaron Rodgers to break the $30m mark next offseason.

Of course, Cousins being an unrestricted free agent rather than a guy that's franchised or still under contract does change things somewhat. But where I think that effect will be felt is less the annual average, and more in the guarantees. I think that's where teams will be competing with each other when it comes to offers, and that's where he's going to make out like a bandit.

As for Garoppolo, given how much cap space the Niners have, I'm betting there's a lot of front-loading in his deal, similar to the kind of deals Jacksonville has thrown around in their oh-god-it's-finally-working free agency rebuild. The Niners have so much carryover, they have nearly $60m in extra cap space. Obviously they should put as much of Garoppolo's cap hit into 2018 (and 2019, as they can roll space there) as possible. I'd bet money they guarantee part or all of his 2018 and 2019 salaries, and/or set up fat roster bonuses, rather than a heavy prorated signing bonus.

(I'd watch all of those!)

With Daniel Day Lewis retiring, Gronk could just slide in and take all of his parts.

Whenever I hear or read Gronk I think of but one role for which he was so nearly named

Cronk is the man. Emperor is one of the best Disney movies ever.
