What the hell do you mean “ that’s not how things work”? It’s EXACTLY how things work in the NFL and the Rams giving Donald that contract is an outlier. Hell I’d say it’s worse than the reaction people had when the Browns gave Watson that guaranteed contract….has it happened since? NO because that’s not how contracts work in the NFL.
We can all agree that Jones is the best DT in the NFL and he should be the highest paid at his position based on the market and NFL history on how that works is Jones should get $24.5M avg annual salary.
Players that are best at there position don’t historically get almost $10M more than the current highest player…..they wait the offseason out, see what everyone else gets paid first and then sign for just a little more than that current highest paid player.
