1196 Blockbuster Contracts
Fifteen minutes later.
As Lehe said, Lu Ke meticulously completed all his warm-up exercises, but did not immediately walk in the direction of Lech and Trent, but began to test his pulse, and it has become a habit to make a simple measurement of the basic warm-up training just now.
Slowly, Lu Ke's footsteps stopped in front of Lech and Trent, took off the sweat towel from his waist and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth outlined a shallow arc, "Good morning." Seeing both of you here at the same time, either the team has decided to renew my contract or the team has decided to trade me out, either way, it looks like my contract is going to take a turn for the better. â
There was no politeness, no greetings, Lu Ke opened his mouth and went straight to the point.
Lech was not surprised, and he had long been accustomed to Lu Ke's insight ability.
But Trent turned to look at Lech in surprise, and then the smile went up, "How the hell does he know?" Are you sure you didn't say hello in advance? â
Lech just shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer.
Actually, it's not that difficult. Although the San Francisco 49ers can delay until August and then slowly complete the contract renewal, Lu Ke's contract is very special, and the San Francisco uniform team also hopes to complete the contract renewal as soon as possible, and after solving this matter, they will devote themselves to the team's rebuilding work-
If Lu Ke's contract seriously challenges the salary cap, then it means that some players who expect to receive a high salary are destined to fail to fulfill their wishes, or lower the bar and stay in a team with the ability to challenge for championships; Either a transfer deal and a higher salary is sought. At the same time, these contract extensions and transfers will also affect the team's draft efforts.
Against this backdrop, Trent rushed to Los Angeles in person, and Lech appeared on the court at the same time, and Lu Ke didn't need to be Sherlock Holmes to detect it.
However, Lu Ke had no intention of explaining at this time, and met Trent's gaze again, "So, my idea is correct." So, what exactly is the situation? I'm ready. â
"Calm down, calm down, cowboy, I know you're ready to train again now, but there's no need for us to be in such a hurry, right?" Trent had just finished speaking, and immediately noticed Lu Ke and Lehe's smiles, and he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his words.
Cowboy is a very common metaphor used to describe those reckless, impulsive behaviors or people.
But Trent chose to use this metaphor at this moment, and things suddenly became subtle - the Dallas Cowboys are the biggest contender for Lu Ke at this stage.
Trent raised his right index finger and gestured slightly, "Slow down, let's slow down." He himself couldn't help but chuckle, but after such a small mistake, the atmosphere became relaxed, "There is absolutely no way we can let you go, if we can, we need you to be able to stay in this team and stay in this city forever as a nine." So, I guess, maybe you can consider buying a property here. â
"You mean, outside of my parents' house?" Lu Ke kindly reminded Trent: he originally settled in San Francisco.
Trent opened his mouth slightly, but he was not embarrassed, but spread his hands calmly, "My brain is confused, obviously I am making mistakes now because I am too happy and too excited, then, I had better make sure in advance before the situation gets worse, so as to avoid making mistakes again." â
Trent looked at Lech and gestured, "Did Lech talk to you before?" What about the amount of the contract? â
"Yes, of course." Lu Ke nodded in affirmation, signing a contract, in the final analysis, Lu Ke still needs to nod, Lech naturally updates the situation at any time, but San Francisco has never been completely determined, and Lu Ke only understands a general situation.
Trent took a deep breath, his gaze shifted between Lu Ke and Lehe for a moment, as if he was creating suspense, the smile on the corner of his mouth was completely raised, but he couldn't get the effect he expected, so he spread his hands, "You guys really don't cooperate at all, which makes me feel regretful." However, when I announce the results, you will regret it. â
"One hundred and six million in five years, and a deposit of sixty-two and a half million."
This time, Trent did not continue to create suspense, and simply said two sets of numbers neatly, and then his eyes fell on Lu Ke, waiting for Lu Ke's response.
With an average annual salary of 21.2 million in five years, he surpassed Drew Brice's 20 million and became the league's highest-paid player.
The margin of 62.5 million also surpassed Drew Bliss's 60 million, once again setting a new record in the history of the league's margin.
In other words, Lu Ke became the highest-paid player in the NFL, as a mere third-year student.
Heavy!
Absolutely heavy!
Super heavy!
Even compared to Jerry Jones's previous "unrefusible" conditions, it is slightly better - although it is slightly lower by 2.5 million in terms of margin, but the average annual salary is much higher, and in a history-making posture, it strongly declares the importance of the San Francisco 49ers to Lu Ke!
Truly shocking!
Lu Ke subconsciously cast his gaze towards Lech, because the conditions that Lehe said before were not so strong, and the simple summary is that the conditions are one level lower than Jerry Jones's, which can be compared horizontally:
Jerry Jones, 110 million for six years, 65 million in margin, and an average annual salary of 18.3 million.
49 people in San Francisco, 100 million and 200 million in six years, 59 million in security deposits, and an average annual salary of 17 million.
A simple comparison shows the calculation of the San Francisco uniforms, who obviously underestimated the sincerity of Jerry Jones and the league's thirst for good quarterbacks - even though Lu Ke is a third-year student and the current two seasons are still a little thin, they are still willing to spend a lot of money to find a top quarterback.
In fact, if the San Francisco 49ers are willing to raise the margin a little more, Lech suggested that Lu Ke nod and agree - although Lu Ke can still chase a higher contract, but Lu Ke still wants to stay in San Francisco more than salary, then Lech can't be pressed too hard.
Now, in a short period of time, the San Francisco 49-man uniform team has made a qualitative leap, the contract amount has been directly increased by two notches, and the contract extension has been proposed to create league history, which really can't be more perfect for Lu Ke - chasing the coveted contract while staying in San Francisco.
Lu Ke's first reaction was to cast an inquiring gaze at Lech: Has the situation changed?
Lehe didn't move, but a shallow smile appeared in his eyes, expressing affirmation, and then Lehe saw Lu Ke showing a bright smile like a child, sincere and straightforward, without hiding his joy at all, but completely unleashing his arrogance.
The onlookers couldn't help but smile.
Then, Lu Ke turned his head, looked at Trent, and smiled brightly, "Are you serious?" â
Trent liked the reaction, "yes, I'm serious. He continued, "I know that there have been a lot of rumours in the last period of time, and the team has not been able to show enough respect, not only you, not only the fans, but also our team has expressed disappointment, and you deserve more and better treatment. â
This is the perfect time to make amends.
"So we're always talking about how we can show the confidence of the team. Of course, a contract is still not enough to make up for the team's previous mistakes, but we still sincerely hope that you can stay with the team and lead us to the championship again, so please give us more time and opportunities to prove our sincerity and prove that you are the heart and soul of this team. â
did not avoid the chaos in the recent period, but faced it calmly, expressed sincerity in this way, and eliminated all the grievances of Lu Ke and Lehe in advance. This is undoubtedly a smarter and more clever approach, and Trent has shown what he can do as the manager of the team.
Finally, Trent smiled confidently again, "So, what do you think?" Can we walk through the next five years together? Or even ten years! Fifteen years? â
"Ten or fifteen years, that's really too far away, and we still need time to slowly run in; But for the next five years, I'm more than happy to continue as part of the San Francisco 49ers. Lu Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead again, with a bright smile on his face, and said succinctly and clearly, "So, can we sign now?" â
Such a crisp and neat way of responding, without too much entanglement and procrastination, Trent really couldn't agree more.
"Yes, we can finish signing now." Trent snapped his fingers and replied in the affirmative, and the look between his eyebrows relaxed, "Next, we still have a series of work to complete, don't we?" Now all of San Francisco is waiting for our next news. So, what are we waiting for? Get it done now! â
Lech, who was always standing next to him with a smile on his face, showed his maturity and stability-
He's just completed the first-highest salary in league history, and he signed a contract for a third-year student, which would once again be a feat of his career.
But Lech is now a big name in the industry, he doesn't need these fame to add luster to himself, what really makes him happy is that Lu Ke can win this contract. This is what Lu Ke deserves!
