Rams gave Donald that money cause he was gonna retire and they could have thought it was a good chance of being a 1 year contract with him retiring…..well Donald didn’t retire and now you have players looking at his $31.66M yearly avg as some kind of measure for DTs.
1). Donald at $31.66M
2). Q. Williams at $24M
3). Simmons at $23.5M
4). Payne at $22.5M
5). Lawrence at $22.5M
6). Hargrave at $21M
7). L. Williams at $21M
8). Buckner at $21M
9). Chris Jones at $20M
Looks like the “norm” is elite guys that resets the DT market raise the average by $500k. With that in mind Jones should be a new contract worth $24.5M average. Donald’s $31.66M shouldn’t even be looked at.
Even if Veach wanted to award Jones and go beyond that $500K increase a $25M average should be good for both sides with the ONLY thing in discussion should be 3 year or 4 year extension.
Asking for $30M+ is ridiculous and Veach should trade his ass.
