Yep that’s a good point. I think those are usually about 3% of salary. So another $27K out of take home
I wonder if anyone will run with the story of CMC TD streak if 12 and compare it to Brock’s college battery mate of Breece’s record setting TD streak.
add in the endorsements.
Point, $10k in rent is very doable, if not easy, when clearing $45k a month.
Al Michaels said this same thing. "He is only making $900K, but he is still making $900K."
I always thought that was Peyton Manning's biggest failure. He kept signing huge contracts which then limited the other players on the team, and it was those limitations that prevented him from winning more rings. IIRC, Brady always signed lower contracts, which allowed the team to load the roster with rookies and vets.
And people also need to realize that Deebo and Aiyuk are not blow the top of the defense kind of guys. As good as Deebo is it’s because he’s a YAC machine. Aiyuk is a sound guy but not a scary deep guy.
As good as the weapons are, they are still playing against fairly compact field. It still requires good accuracy to make this offense work.
IDK what y'all are watching but Aiyuk is a stud.
Jordan did some of both throughout career. Years where he maxed out salary, but also years where he took a little less to have a better team. I’m guessing while not MJ level that Manning made as much from endorsements as salary? It certainly seems like he’s been in the most commercials of any human, maybe him or Flo from Progressive.
Living in Bay Area for 900k a year as young bachelor sounds like a dream, give me that in a nano second over the same 900k in Cleveland. I’m in SoCal on a small fraction of that and life is still good.
If he only made 200k or 250k maybe he’d be shredding water because I’m sure lifestyle expenses are higher than a typical 23 year old for an elite pro athlete just in terms of taking care of himself.
You're goddamn right. I'm Norman Dale with my team is on the floor. Purdy or die.
Purdy is grossly underpaid. The market value for a team captain QB with his wins and overall #’s is nowhere near 900k. It’s a rookie contract problem, as others have said.
Also—Kinda silly to compare the market value of an NFL QB to the American population.
I’m more surprised Purdy paint brushes haven’t had any endorsements with Brock. Major ball drop here imo.
Based on performance there is no point in Kirk Cousins career where he has played better than Brock Purdy’s first 11 games and it’s not close. Gottlieb suggesting that the 49ers pay $29 million/yr more for a lesser QB is an all time worst take.
