1176 Salary Cap

Lu Ke wants to stay in San Francisco.

Lech wanted Lu Ke to stay in San Francisco.

San Francisco also wants Lu Ke to stay where he is.

Everyone knows that no team will let go of its cornerstone quarterback, and other players can be traded, but the quarterback position, even if it is a substitute, will never give up easily until the last minute.

When Alex Smith left the Kansas Chiefs, it was because the San Francisco 49ers had Lu Ke and Colin Kapernick on the bench, and the team didn't need to worry about the quarterback, otherwise even if Alex was kept as a substitute, San Francisco's uniform team would never let go.

Suffice it to say that in the NFL league, any decision about quarterbacks must be made with caution and caution. As for teams like the Cleveland Browns who gamble on the draft every year, that's a rare sight.

But the question now is not the will of both sides, but of how strong it is, which will determine the level of expectations on both sides! Renewing a contract is definitely not a simple matter.

The San Francisco 49ers are building a brand new stadium, and the York family is not only lending money to the city, but also receiving Gideon's investment, which means that the York's assets are rising, but liquidity is more restricted. Of course, this will not affect the decision to renew the quarterback.

It's just that the financial constraints, coupled with the existence of a hard salary cap, also limit the boasting of team manager Trent Balke.

What's more, the other thirty-one teams in the league are also eyeing Trent, and he can't afford to act rashly.

Why?

Lu Ke will only be a third-year student next, but if Lu Ke's contract reaches the top level, and even surpasses the number of the current four elite quarterbacks in one go, creating a new high, Lu Ke and San Francisco will be in the limelight; But what about the other thirty-one teams?

Most of the rookies of those fourth-graders and fifth-graders have four-year or five-year rookie contracts, and they only need to perform slightly better, which is bound to increase the contract number according to Lu Ke's contract collective requirements; Although Lu Ke won the Super Bowl, the stable, excellent, and excellent quarterbacks in the entire league are always in demand, and even if most quarterbacks don't win the Super Bowl, the salary offer is still high.

Furthermore, the rookies who are about to enter the league will inevitably have more requirements for contracts, because they are all potential stocks with unlimited possibilities, just like Lu Ke.

In other words, Lu Ke's contract numbers affect the whole body. The identity of the "third-grader" makes the entire league have to be cautious and cautious, and San Francisco does not dare to raise the contract casually, otherwise there is no need to consider San Francisco's own hard salary cap, and other teams are bound to secretly put pressure.

But Lechsteinberg is seeking more than just a contract extension, but a contract that will make history.

Halfway through the regular season, Lech was already laying the groundwork step by step, and everything after that was going on to make it happen, from a winning season to a regular season MVP to the Super Bowl, was a smooth ride and slowly moving towards Lech's vision.

A contract, an excellent contract, which is not difficult for San Francisco, Trent contacted Lech as soon as possible, and they obviously did not want to chill their main quarterback; But "good" is not enough, Lech wants more, Trent wants more, but the current situation in San Francisco needs more cushioning.

As Jerry Jones put it, San Francisco is reluctant to let Lu Ke go, but if it's a history-making contract, they'll need to think again. Business is business, and when things evolve into the calculation of numbers, then everything must be decided according to the numbers: can the effort and the benefit be proportional?

Jerry's choice of such a time to intervene is a testament to his keen sense of business opportunities!

Lech didn't tell Lu Ke about these situations, because he knew that Lu Ke didn't care about these delicate things, and he wouldn't even be too entangled in the details of the contract figures, what he needed to do was to tell Lu Ke the overall situation, and then according to his own judgment, he would get the best contract plan for Lu Ke.

"I see."

Faced with Lu Ke's statement, Lehe nodded lightly in agreement.

"Now the situation is such that the Dallas side has given a price that we can't refuse; And here in San Francisco, because of the hard salary cap and because of the capital chain, they still have a lot of work to discuss and discuss. But what I know for sure is that Jerry Jones's actions are bound to have a knock-on effect, and I can take advantage of them. ”

After a brief statement of the whole situation, Lech concluded, "If you want to stay in San Francisco, then we have to make San Francisco have to issue the conditions we expect." ”

The smile on the corner of Lu Ke's mouth rose, "Jerry Jones really did it, right?" He really offered a price that we couldn't refuse. The captain of the American team was really domineering, "Why didn't you tell Jerry about my conditions, was it because I was worried that I was too moved and changed my mind?" ”

"Ha, of course not. You are the customer and I am the one who helps you make your wishes come true. If you're looking to travel to Dallas and earn a record-breaking salary, I'm more than happy to help you get there; And if you're looking to stay in San Francisco and be the cornerstone quarterback of this team, I'd love to let them know how important you are. ”

Lech's voice was full of energy and could be felt, and he was in a good mood, "However, I must admit that this is definitely enough to shake up the contract of the entire league. ”

"That makes me look forward to it even more." The essence of Lu Ke's body that belongs to a reporter began to stir again, "Is it better than Daben's contract?" ”

Ben Rothslisberger, one of Lech's only two current clients, entered the league in 2004 and performed well, Lech secured a new contract for Big Ben in 2008, two years before the end of Big Ben's rookie contract, but Lech managed to convince the Pittsburgh Steelers to complete the signing.

One hundred and two million dollars in eight years!

The contract shocked the league at the time, and that season, Big Ben's performance was up and down, suffering a right shoulder injury and concussion in the middle and end of the season, but the team still relied on the strong performance of the defensive team to break into the Super Bowl, and defeated the Arizona Cardinals to win their second Super Bowl championship ring.

"Ha, of course, of course! Big Ben's contract doesn't look worth mentioning at all now. If the contract is completed, Big Ben will definitely call me to complain. Lech said firmly, and then he did not continue to sell the guanzi, and directly revealed the answer, "110 million US dollars for six years, of which 65 million US dollars are guaranteed." ”

110 million, 65 million deposit!

What level is this? Only by understanding the current state of the alliance can we understand Lech's excitement and exuberance.

As mentioned before, the NFL adopts a hard salary cap, and because of the large number of players, the salary level cannot be compared with the NBA at all (Chapter 560), but the league income of the NFL is rising every year, and the upper limit of the hard salary cap is naturally increasing every year, which also makes the average salary figure continue to increase.

There is no doubt that in the NFL, quarterbacks are the absolute core, and their salary level is also absolutely leading.

On June 13, 2012, Briss signed a five-year, $100 million contract extension with the New Orleans Saints, including a $60 million deposit.

This contract has set many records: the highest margin in the history of the league! The first player in league history to earn an average of more than 20 million a year!

It was not until last season that the first player with an average annual salary of 20 million was owned, and this honor belongs to Bliss, one of the four elite quarterbacks, which is well deserved, and the salary level of the other three elite quarterbacks is also among the best.

Tom Brady completed the contract renewal on September 10, 2010, with a four-year contract of 72 million, a security deposit of 48.5 million, and an average annual salary of 18 million.

Peyton Manning, who transferred to the Denver Broncos on March 30, 2012, has a five-year salary of 96 million, a margin of 18 million, and an average annual salary of 19.2 million.

Aaron Rogers, completed the contract renewal on November 1, 2008, with 65 million for six years, a deposit of 20 million, and an average annual salary of 10.8 million.

Among the four elite quarterbacks, Big Manning's transfer to the Denver Broncos is a special situation, after returning from injury, he needs to prove that he can still play the game and still compete for the championship, so the margin figure is very low and Big Manning has no signing bonus, according to the contract, Big Manning must undergo a physical examination every year, and only after passing the physical examination can he get the corresponding salary for each year.

On top of that, the youngest Rodgers is clearly the lowest-paid, in fact, he doesn't even pay as many as the other good quarterbacks.

Tony Romo, who completed the renewal of his contract on October 30, 2007, has a six-year contract of 67.5 million, a deposit of 30 million, and an average annual salary of 11.25 million.

Ben Roessberger, who signed the contract on March 4, 2008, signed a contract of 100 million and 200 million for eight years, a deposit of 36 million, and an average annual salary of 12.75 million.

However, Rogers' situation is also very special. After entering the league in 2005, he has been playing on the bench for legendary quarterback Brett Favre, and even in the 2007 offseason, there were rumors that the Green Bay Packers were ready to trade Rodgers to the Oakland Raiders in order to trade wide receiver Randy Moss, but then Moss went to the New England Patriots, so Rodgers stayed.

After Favre announced his retirement in April 2008, the Green Bay Packers straightened Rogers, and it took him just two months for Rogers to prove his abilities. In order to appease Rogers, the packers' uniform team took the initiative to offer Rogers a new contract before his rookie contract expired.

So, there was a contract renewal in November 2008. Rogers, who was a fourth-grader at the time, only had two months of starting qualifications, so the salary level was still relatively low, and it could not be compared with Romo, Rothrisberg and others.

From Brady to Manning to Bliss, step by step showed the increase in the league's quarterback salary level, and finally it was Bliss who made history; From Rodgers to Romo to Big Ben, it shows the league's thirst for good quarterbacks, and finding a cornerstone quarterback is definitely not an easy task.

Now that Bliss's contract is at the highest level in the league, Lech's goal is naturally to make history by breaking a contract that is at least close to or equal to Bliss's, but there is more to San Francisco and now Dallas has a stunning contract offer.

Then, Dallas satisfied Lech's hopes, and Jerry Jones made an incredible offer with a big wave of his hand, which directly matched Lech's needs:

110 million for six years, 65 million deposit, and an average annual salary of 18.3 million!
