  We had all the leverage, it was take our highest offer or play on the tag and risk injury and 88 mil guaranteed.  He did the smart thing and take the huge contract and it worked out for both side.  Don't be a Yannick and lose many millions

You can't really look at Watt's contract and compare. That contract is from 2021. His would have dwarfed everyone else's contracts if he were negotiating it in 2024. His guaranteed money and yearly average isn't that much less than what Allen got and that was before 4 years of inflation.

You can still look at it but thats why guys like Burns and Allen are making more.  Garrett signed his 4 years ago and got 100 mil guaranteed which is still more than what Allen and Burns got.  Parsons will likely sign a deal that will be equal to Bosa's

To me its Watt, Bosa, Garrett, and Parsons in the top tier, and then teir 2 you have guys like Allen, Hunter, and Crosby.  If Allen has another year this year like he did last year he can join that top tier.
