    And it's not even really close. There are 8 safeties making over $10 million. There are 19 edge rushers that exceed that mark.

    I would suggest you consult the first rule of holes (stop digging)

    Your argument is nuts. Inflation is one thing; supply and demand another. You argued that since there was a larger supply of DEs the price would go up. That's flatly wrong. Tagged with that, you switch to inflation, but you're still wrong. At the end of the day the team has a cap, and the way they allocate that cap is reflective of how much they value a given position/player.

    Just stop. You obviously know a lot about football but you're so bent on disputing/arguing you're saying silly stuff now.

    I know the trading deadline was past. I was referring to the offseason, but hopefully, you're right. He was just whining, and when he thinks about it and grows up some, he'll understand and come around.

    that's the wrong way to look at it. i explained NFL economics here https://www.forums.theganggreen.com...ys-for-jamal-adams.93065/page-15#post-3870948

    money is based on inflation and current deals. the less elite players there are getting new contracts, the less the salaries go up and the less they get paid. There have been more elite edge rushers getting new deals then there have been safeties, hence the value is going up slower.

    Or it could be that DEs are simply worth more than safeties, see, e.g., Occam's Razor

    c'mon man. Most people here love Adams; the fact that safety is a less valuable position does nothing to negate that love

    AND if we were a good team at the time, picking Adams perhaps would have made more sense at the 6 slot

    Why does this crap leak?

    Was it the Cowboys side?...or is our front office just that stupid?

    Just because you posted it somewhere else doesn’t mean it’s right. Positions are valued differently. There’s no denting that no matter how you want to spin the numbers. Qb,lt,edge,corner are going to get paid more than safety,guard,center,non rush lber etc. it just is.
    Mack’s deal will be 3-4 years old when Jamal signs his next one and won’t touch Mack’s numbers.

    Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I read it, and feel like going and pounding my head against a wall or gouging my eyes out so I don't ever have to read ignorant crap like the last couple of pages again.

    Man, FUCK this guy. What a huge pussy. I've never soured on someone so quickly ever as a sports fan.

    Dump his ass the second the season ends.

    Boo fucking hoo

    Considering the Cowboys were out there even after the trade fell through saying on their official Twitter 'we tried' it probably came from them.

    Man I hope we get a draft pick for tampering out of this.

    I think he's less hurt than he's leading on and moreso just wants out because he believes we will suck forever. This whole thing is sour. But really. What a pussy.

    That's the problem with Adams right there, an overinflated opinion of his importance. Dude's got a LOT of OBJ in him.

    Talk about a bad look. Adams is losing me fast here.

    Even IF Jamal is right and Douglas was looking to deal him, this is the NFL. Jamal is a player. Douglas is a GM. Jamal’s job is to play and Douglas’ job is to make roster moves! My god, it’s a business!! Get over yourself, Jamal!!

    I fully expect him to be dealt in the offseason now.
