People were so mad throughout the offseason and refused to believe that Brissett was making a reasonable ask.
You now have Buddha saying get it done on socials as well.

Can the PV Hillbillies and MO do anything right?

I have no idea if this number is correct or not, but it's a number that makes sense.
I would have not known either but with Budda confirming it is low there is really nowhere for the Cards to hide now.

Just a terrible situation that the FO puts this team in.

Announce Brissett as the starter after stepping on their manhood trying to sign Willis and Jimmy G.

Don't tell Brissett the plan that he will be the starter before leaking it.

Then when the dude wants starter money the team acts all shocked and commences to refuse to get something done.

Meanwhile we have a new coach and staff coming in and JBrissett has said he has had no comms with the guy and doesn't show up to practices.

Cluster fudge!

I think the look of stupidity is worse than the delayed acclimation of Brissett into the offense. I don't really doubt that MLF and Brissett can figure out the offense if they don't get together before training camp. I do have doubts that the front office will get this done by TC because they consistently find new ways to look stupid.

The coach must really like Beck's potential if they don't pay Brissett by training camp. Not paying Brissett will affect the entire team to where you will need to trade him. If Minshew is starter, he will ask for a raise too so it's Beck or pay up and we all know Beck will start at some point anyways.

Or Bidwill is a cheap ass and we are a crap organization who deserve zero financial support from it's fans until this crap hole of a family is gone.

I think MLF is just the coach and will do his best with whatever he gets handed. Same as Gannon.

Unfortunately, this tweet provides very little information. Is Brissett only asking for $15M for this year or does he want $15M guaranteed for the next three years. Everything I have read has said the issue is guaranteed money in year three of the contract.

I think the exact opposite.

If Beck was the dude they would just cut Brissett because there would be zero need for him.

I go back to the Seahawks and Russell Wilson as a rookie. They started the dude out the gate even though they gave millions that off season to a journeyman QB to start.

It’s very funny that you think this is a coach’s decision

Can you source that because I’ve never seen anything like that?

We are talking a lot about numbers we haven't seen. The truth must be somewhere in the middle.
Not if one of the starting points (2 new years, $35 million in new money) was cooked up by a poster here in a fever dream.

Thats not the same as Budda and Chuck Harris saying it.

Well, why doesn't someone share the actual numbers? Because those aren't known to most people not named Bidwill or Brissett.

OK, tell me what the exact numbers are then. Then we'll all know what you know.
You know you’re asking this in bad faith and exact numbers are not available. But what makes more sense:

An attributed report by a member of the local media in line with the statement of a player who personally knows the principles?

Or…

An unattributed statement that could be an AI hallucination or the fantasy of a message board poster or an AI hallucination based on the message board poster’s fantasy?

Only one set of “numbers” are flying about and they’re imminently reasonable.

Kind of

Seattle had the prior year starter returning, a veteran journeyman that the players respected in Jackson. They made the trade and contract with Flynn. They drafted Wilson.

Wilson showed enough in rookie camp to get into the competition.

However, it was a competition and it went all camp. A lot of hawks fans were frustrated that Jackson was still getting equal reps because we already knew what he was and was not.

By the time person started, it was Flynn vs Wilson

Flynn played the first half of game 1, Russ the 2nd half. Same with game 2.

Russ looked the better player so he started game 3 at Arrowhead - had a dynamic first half, came out and continued playing well in the 3rd. Jackson closed it out in the 4th, competition over.

Outside looking in, I have no idea why the cards would name brissett the starter

He hasn't earned it. He's shown to not be good enough to be a starter and is a pretty basic be backup.

Tough vet? sure. Guys like him? Yep. Can try to execute a gameplan? Ok.

He's just not a good enough QB though and didn't actually win anything.

Zero reason to commit to him, especially as early as they did.

I can see him wanting a bump and maybe in the short term it makes sense because he's a "starter"

I can see the cards but wanting to commit that much to him because they have to also know he kind of stinks and no team in the league would sign him today to starter money - even low end starter money.

I think the biggest rub and the cleanest path forward would be to up and guarantees and throw some escalators in there as well - which isn't uncommon

yeah because having an agent is so weird - not
Being obsessed with it and bringing it up over and over is weird. Just because you don’t have a registered agent doesn’t mean you don’t have people who can deal with this stuff.

People just doing whatever they can to let Monti off the hook.

That was me and I said $30 million for just this coming season which would make him the 16th highest paid on average QB. $34M per year is the average salary for a starting QB. JB will make less next year than Ty Simpson ad David Mills.

If Monti and MB are balking at $15 million, then gross.
