So with everyone wanting to discuss a Goff extension, I’ll give a hypothetical.
Would you rather pay Goff lower per year, on a longer contract, mostly guaranteed? Or a short term contract, with less guaranteed, but a higher per year.
Here are extremes:
-
10 years, 300 million fully guaranteed.
-
3 years, 210 non guaranteed.
Every contract falls somewhere in the middle, but curious what folks are thinking.
Why extend him when we theoretically have 3 more years we can push it out
If you want to push it out would you rather not just resign him?
Because that’s how you signal to other players that you’re an organization that doesn’t value its players.
Double franchise tags are rare and create disgruntled players and others around the league see that.
Hutch Sewell Amon ra will all be paid top$ big deals during that same time frame tho would that signal that they value people ?
The double-franchise tag almost always backfires. It’s a last resort and likely won’t come to that.
