another point is what is this bargain you speak of?
I am not sure that even matters because my point was that the last contract stirred up about 40 plus pages of stuff on the Red Board, some "F---K Baker" some "let him test the marker" to whatever and it was all sort of a waste because you and DH pretty much hit it spot on early on, right?
Could I see 3 years 100 million. Yes but that’s absolute highest at 33.3m APY
his floor is likely the 3 year 75 million and as DH said likely looking at 3 year 90 million as ballpark
So it wasnt the BS number that Tony Pauline wrote about ($40 million) and all the Red Board angst was a waste of time because the team and Mayfield met on a deal that worked for both AND THAT FIT INTO THE MARKETPLACE
Except for the bit of uncertainty over Bowles, why would this time around be any different?
You are arguing that the last 11 months changes things in the Bucs eyes? Maybe? I dont think so, but maybe. I doubt a team looks at his success with Canales and Coen and says Grizz had nothing to do with last year? But, hey who knows?
Last I checked an NFL team needs a QB and decent ones are not that easy to find
