Also kinda doubt Baker signs for $20mil/year, especially if only the first year is fully guaranteed.
Re Baker I agree. I think he’ll get at least Geno money.
And I’m certain that Tua’s agent will be pushing for that kind of deal given his stats the past two seasons. But it’ll be interesting to see how that negotiation goes, given the agent should be aware of what Tua might get from another team as well
Like with Cousins, everyone itt thinks Tua shouldn’t be paid but when you look at how bleak the 18-32 ranked QBs are you realise how much leverage he still has
But the point remains the same re Tua and Baker even if both numbers are higher.
There’ll be at least a ‘1 elite player’ difference in their salaries most likely and there’s an argument that they’re pretty similar skill sets IMO
