I would do 40 though. I feel 35 is a fair deal and hopefully that’s the deal. But I would do up to 40. Can’t do more than 40 but over the next few years guys going to get 40 anyways. So I won’t lose him for 5 million more. 40 is the stretch though and already stretched because 35 is ideal. JMO

That's where we differ, and that's fine. To me there's a limit, that's all.

I agree that JJ is the best, and I'm more inclined to pay him the highest non-QB money given his impact than others, but I'd also note that a guy like that with the JJ ratio isn't as helpful either. This team has other fire power in Hock and Addison. I do agree that JJ makes JJM better, so I want a very good #1 to develop our new QBOTF, I just put limits on the price tag and start wondering if there are better options if he's being unreasonable.

For the 2 first round picks we would get along with Higgins. If it's just one just say no, but if it's 2 that has to be considered.

To be clear, this was a suggestion that solves a problem for us and Cincy. There have been no rumors that it was even suggested. I would be exploring it personally, and it's possible KAM did and that was the end of it. I think having a top tier receiver is crucial for JJM's development, so keeping JJ has its benefits. However, if he's Kirk 2.0, that's when I start thinking about plan B.

It’s also not Kirk situation as Jets is clearly great and Kirk pretty good. You can’t put them in the same bucket impossible. As one is elite and the other is not. One is 25 the other 36. One demands several guys on him the other folds with pressure . There is zero comparison between the two zero.

One got 300 million and had like 3 max deals one getting his first real pay day as he been underpaid every year so far,

You got guys getting 30s not on his level but he unreasonable and he the best , 😂

how does that solve a problem for Cincinnati? They would have two wrs making 35 mil aav and a QB making 50 plus. Add to that they would lose two 1sts and not have cap space to sign any high end talent to offset the loss of draft picks

I can’t wait until he resign. Then I wonder what’s the next thing we going to argue about. You know there’s always the next topic. Maybe it will be expecting JJ to win every game he plays or be labeled sorry. Who knows but I can’t wait until our best player locked in long term.

My gut feel in that scenario is that Burrow (by not asking for another raise), Chase, and JJ all take less to form a "dream team." I think it backfires personally, but I think they'd like the idea.

I'd love to see the Vikings make a big move. Im scared of KAM, cause, well, hes been sucking. But maybe he can get some team to think JJ is the final piece to a SB this season. And just milk the team for a million first rounders. Then the VIKINGS could have SB type team for a decade.

It might be worth it if they can get the blonde milf back for a sequel to Git the Gat

Players never "take less" unless their name is Brady. It just does not happen.

“It's going to attract headlines if he's not here, certainly. And I would look for those as soon as the night before, if it leaks out that he's not going to be here, that's probably coming from his camp… My guess is he shows up, he does the, you know, kind of a hold-in thing. Although, I say that, and we have not seen him do that before. Typically, when he's been here, he's kind of gone and done his thing.”

This made up Jefferson for Higgins trade is complete made up nonsense that came up during the draft cycle. Can stop using it as a reference point?

It's not made up as long as people are talking about it
