It was inevitable, Bark wasn't going to sit out the year.
Now the Gee-Men are set, DJ with a real tight end with Waller and Bark happy, Giants will win 10 games and snag a wild card.

So he got an extra million?


Good for him.

He's a good guy, he was trying to make a point.
Sucks for him that it's a WR market now though.

Still landed in the same spot but it’s a fully guaranteed number so take it and run. Probably only will get 20-25 million guaranteed anyway on the longer term.

I don’t think Bark is that happy. I think he’s just settling. The sad part for him is even if he explodes this year and gets huge numbers it still won’t help him get the deal he wants. If he was realistic he would have take less money and get as much guarantee money as the giants will give him. Then be the face of New York and crush the advertiser game and make everything on the back end. Trust me Daniel Jones isn’t any competition to the ad dollars.

True, true.
Danny just lays low, probably reads four hour a night, quite possibly the most boring guy on the planet.

Personally I love the guy, but most sources say DJ is one of the first to get to the stadium in the morning, one of the last to leave, doesn't have much to say about anything, you never hear from him.

Even though I'm not a big fan on these huge million dollar contracts. No athlete should get this much.... I'm going to stick up for these RB's because it's the same physical training (if not more) than QB's and WR's.... so... I'd be pissed off too if I was an RB at the moment. I give these guys credit... they get popped harder than most.... and they get paid less?

All this really shows me is that ALL teams will become pass happy.... and that most won't run the ball. Which is very strange. I'd rather put the ball in Saquon's hands on a 4th and 1 play.... than to give it to my Rookie RB from Michigan. I'm just saying. All this truly shows you... teams will barely run the by. They aren't even concerned about crucial situations in a football game.

Who cares. 6-11 at best

Crazy money being made with star NFL players these days. Numbers are astronomical!

I'm about to adopt a black ghetto baby and make sure the parents were stacked. Raise him to live and breath football from the crib!

Justin Herbert reached agreement today on a landmark five-year, $262.5 million extension that ties him to the franchise through the 2029 season

Fixed your post by the way.

Salaries are wild but so is the money being brought in. Only seems fair that the players get a fat chunk of the income the owners get which is a direct result of their performances. NFL keeps printing money yet the NBA is where the real inflated salaries are.

10 million a year plus is a nice chunk.

Remember now, the owner pays all the salaries, including the salary of the assistant secretary.
The owner takes all the financial risks.

Lol, you're gonna stick up for them? What does that even mean? You gonna write a letter to the White House and push for legislative action?

Literally no one is saying RB's aren't subjected to a physical beating or a demanding training regimen... Even the owners and front office that are skimping on their salaries aren't saying that. It's a business, and like any other business, owners are free to distribute money wherever they see fit. They currently feel dumping a boatload of money into that particular position isn't a winning proposition. If they're wrong, then other teams that decide to buck the trend and pay up for a running back will pull ahead of the pack. The trend would likely then reverse and so on and so forth.

Could do all that stuff and still won’t be better than a Kirk cousins in his entire career. And to think these idiots who run this franchise could have had Josh Allen the year they drafted Jones or Herbert the next year. Passed on both and then gave this guy 160 million to continue to be average

Nasher. Truthfully. Do you think Danny Boy can take you to the Super Bowl in the next 3 years?

Not without a decent o-line.
If NYG fortify the o-line that can give DJ some time to operate instead of ad-libbing running for his life, then yes.

If Waller and Bark can stay healthy this year, DJ will have a top five TE and RB to work with, and if he can get some protection they can actually compete for a WC this season, the defense is stout.

Explain how the "average joe" is looking out for owners' pockets.

I'm surprised people discuss professional sports salaries at all unless they're a professional athlete. I watch sports for the entertainment value, and if it wasn't for sports betting I might be disinclined to even do that much. What they decide to throw around monetarily and to whom is a whole nother universe as far as I'm concerned. I just 'cap who's on the damn field in a given game... it's fruitless to get involved with player/coach/owner finances, they're grown men, they can figure it out. None of these guys are lobbying on my behalf. Technically they're all overpaid in proportion to their actual contributions to society anyways.
