More money in 2024, in exchange for fewer guarantees in 2025....?

Really hope MS wants to keep it going next year as well, he's nowhere close to done.

Clearly setting up for an extension to hit next season and beyond, leaving less dead money to account for

you'd have to think that someone with his skills, playing at or near his peak performance for the last couple of years before retirement, could salt away an extra $100M in a couple of years with a decent extension. That could really pad the ole retirement plans!! :eyeroll:

Welp, what are the options? You can try and win the lottery in the draft (not likely) or acquire a great veteran that costs 50 million a year.
I'd rather pay our Super Bowl winning QB that money and not think twice about it.
 
Sounds to me like he'll need a new contract in 2025. Right now MS is tied for 14th highest paid QB, along with Daniel Jones. He makes less than Cousins, Goff, Murray, and many others.

I think MS signed a very team-friendly deal last time around.

MS deserves a raise if he plays well this year, I just hope he doesn't try to break the bank. He'll probably get over 50M per year next year, I just hope he doesn't hold out for close to 60.
 
Personally, I want us to draft a QB of the future. But I don’t see McSnead going that route. If/when Stafford hangs it up, you’ll see Snead go after a big QB trade (ala Stafford) or via FA. That’s my prediction.

I don't get where the "reporter" got this information. Maybe he just interpreted it wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. But I had heard all along that Matthew was looking for more guaranteed money for THIS season and that it wasn't about more money overall but that more of the money would be guaranteed now.

I agree. No risk of lost season(s) to see if the rookie is a “hit” or “miss”.
