Geno has expensive hobbies, he is driving a 2017 Rolls on vet minimum salary, and not like he had big contracts before. So, Geno is very very hungry for that BIG contract, there would be where his future, retirement, and loyalty lies.
I could understand wanting some money...i guess it will depend on how the rest of the season plays out. I just think he is a system QB IMO he would be a fool to leave Seattle. I hate what money does to people and i dislike like the business part of the game. If he continues the way he is , he is going to get a good contract what really is the difference between 25 and 30 million? You invest that wisely and you can have what ever you want for the rest of your life. I dont know maybe im weird but i would rather stay if i was him... even if i had to take less money but thats just me
Not necessarily. The Packers took Rodgers when he fell to them in the 1st round, and then let him sit behind Favre for four years. If the Seahawks find a QB they really like, they'll take him, but they'll also play Geno for as long as he's on the team and the best option for the offense.
That is absolutely a possibility. So many possibilities...its going to be the most interesting off season that i can remember.
As i remember it Rodgers was supposed to be the number one over all pick and he dropped to like 23 in the first round... the value there was so great that might have been the reason the packers pulled the trigger on that one cause they ABSOLUTELY didnt need a QB
This is why agents exist. The agent's primary agenda is to make money for his client because his own income is directly proportional to his client income. Of course, any given agent will need to build/maintain a reputation for client satisfaction in order to gain/retain future clients. Part of this reputation building may include catering to personal preferences that go beyond money, but in the end, any given agent is always going to be in his client's ear about money. If Geno's agent is worth his salt, he is going to tell him what the current "home discount" is. Ten percent is probably too much. Regardless, ten percent of 43 million annually (franchise tag value) is 4.3 million. Hence, a franchise tag salary with a ten percent "home discount" comes out to $300,000 shy of 40 million (per year). Franchise tag value is top 10 quarterback range. Geno easily fits into that window this season.....and his agent is telling him this stuff. Every week.
Sorry read my post Geno, agent or not, is not going to go spastic on Pete.
Your probably right but Thats not to say that Seattle will give him a great contract if they want him.
Two years ago.
Yes, but Tannehill was slightly younger and had more years as a starter under his belt, so you could argue Geno's contract should be somewhat less than Tannehill's. Of course with salary inflation, an equivalent amount is more than $29 million.
Hypothetically, we offer Geno 10 mil, two years, 20 mil, with 10 being guaranteed. Let's say another QB needy team offer Geno 9 mil, three years, 27 mil all guaranteed. Geno might wander, of course I pulled these figures out of my behind so not realistic. That's a lot of Rolls Royces, but Geno made unusual choices, he chose to attend West Virginia over offers from Florida State, South Florida, Boston College, and Alabama, so we never know.
All it takes is one GM out of 32 to fall in love.
I'd be very surprised if any GM goes hard for Geno, especially after Denver gave RW $45M/yr and found out he was Geno Smith...
The Digits had the 1st pick of the draft that year, and it was a big discussion about whether Rodgers or Alex Smith would be the first overall pick. It was always my opinion that the Digits made the pick they were supposed to pick, rather than the one that would help their team the most.
