The 30 mill is for 2023. He's still set to only make 5 mill in 2022 I believe.
Perhaps . If Kyler pulls his head out of his butt and starts acting like a true leader.
One really doesnt have much to do with the other. There have been great leaders who still wanted their money. Schrager mentioned how Aaron Donald's contract extensions were always ugly and nasty before getting done.

There's still a 40-mill difference in what he wants and what he's currently set to make this year.

You're right. The 30 million is for the 5th year option in 2023, he's only gonna make 5.9 million in 2022.

I wish we could come up with a fair long-term deal for both sides. Kyler needs to be resigned long-term but the second half of the season and his performance in the playoff game have really hurt him. His agent's timing is less than perfect. This slotting is BS., there are other variables involved. If we had Rosen would we slot him in to more than Mahomes is receiving? He is not Mahomes, but he is a very talented QB that we need to keep. If we overpay him it will cripple us for years. I just wish we could give him a contract that would set him up for life and still allow us to build a team around him. I guess I wish a lot.

Oh the horror that poor guy
Do you ever bring anything to the table than Kyler slander? You’re free to post whatever, but I never seem to see you talk about the draft, other players on the team, other players on other teams, etc.

Nothing has changed. The Cardinals picking up the fifth year option was an assumed. Murray wants a "Watson deal" and if the Cardinals won't give it to him, he'll sit til the Cardinals deal him to a team that will pay him. It is in his best interest not to play the 2022 season on his rookie contract.

It’s actually impressive that you started slandering murray on ASFN when he was an infant. Amazing skills of anticipating the future.

Lamar Jackson has played 4 years for a total of $7.5m without complaining once.

Lamar's is the contract that will effect Kyler's the most. That's the deal we want to beat to market.

This is where I am at also. I have respect for Lamar and his body of work. Kyler on the other hand I believe in the end is going to prove to be a mistake. They are going to over pay for a guy that lacks the mental "IT" factor to work past the challenges of being an NFL player and team leader. He will be physically challenged every year that will eventually bend and break his will to achieve greatness. He just has not shown me that he can be better than that. He has skills there is no denying but it takes more than just physical skills. This extension will prove to be a mistake. Should have traded him before he gets broken and exposed.

@WeBlitz

Dont let the guys that are ragging on you for calling out a long time poster get to you. @Shane is a loser and deserves shade thrown at him on a daily basis, keep it up! Hahaha

fwiw, I so want Kyler to succeed but I'm with those who think he just doesn't have what it takes to be a true franchise QB. However, what I perceive may be entirely off base because I have no clue what goes on in his head.

Lamar is taking a chance on being Ricky Williams all-time dumb in contract negotiations if he gets hurt or plays bad this season.

However, yes if Lamar plays great he will get 50 mill a year the following year. Even with that its still passes up a potential 10+ million in the short term for someone whose highest value is with their legs.

Using Lamar as a current example is simply bad business.

I'm using Lamar as an example of why Kyler shouldn't be crying over "only" getting $5.5m in cash this year when Lamar has played 4 years for less than $2m per year.

I'm not too worried about Kyler. He got $23.6 mill+ just to sign his contract and got 4 years with $35.6 mill + in guarantees.

He will get his bag after the draft later this summer. In the meantime he'll just have to scrape money together to eat.

He’s being a b..

I’ve been ripped off/short changed on contract. I’ve come out of character a couple times and perhaps drew fangs, but kyler isn’t anywhere close to this.

I think kyler should shut the front door and concentrate on being a good football player….

Kids like him make me question all the Boldin hate.

We’ll see what Lamar’s attitude looks like after tonight’s events. In the end, I would be shocked if both contracts didn’t get done before the season starts.
