Jawaan Taylor making bank!

Boom, that second contract is it if you’re not a top pick. Happy for the big kid.

 

Great for him. This may seem like a lot for him but Andy Reid is the best OL head coach of all time so if he approves of this, he must think he can take Taylor to the next level.

 

20 mil a year is not astronomical in the nfl.

 

Always good to swim in the Great Lake of television money.

 

He's now the 4th highest paid OT in the NFL. The 3 OT's ahead of him have combined for 16 Pro Bowls.

 

I had no idea OL could make that.

 

The top QB, WR, OL, DL, and CB all make over $20M per season now.

 

I gues that’s why so many are flabbergasted when they hear a college kid is making a mil or two. I don’t keep up any more but the salary cap in the nfl is quite large. There has to be a comparable ratio as to what that would amount to in college comparing apples to apples. Funny thing is, the schools are leaning on the fans to pay that too. We already pay the tickets, generate their tv money, and all the jersey sales and whatnot. It’s a crazy business model for sure.

 

Well-deserved, get your money young man

 

I’ve always wondered what a coach thinks when one of his players makes more than he does.

 

It’s supposedly 51% of projected revenue so they are just throwing at a wall and seeing what sticks. Colleges have a number while smaller is also a very significant number. If Taylor is worth 20 as an established nfl player, what was he worth his last year at UF? How about as a freshman? He would be unproven and being paid on “potential“ at that point.

 

Maybe tge coach should be a star qb, they are worth more.

 

Still, pretty good, overall.

 

He probably thinks "If this guy's performance matches his contract, he'll make me look very good as a coach"

 

I think Reid is definitely taking a huge risk, but like you said, he knows what he is doing.

 

Star NFL players have been making more than the coaches for decades.

 

5 million a year, 20 million a year, what's the difference? It's all more than I've made in my life time.

 

Of course it is. He is a premier lineman protecting maybe the best qb in history. He’s at tge pinnacle of all linemen right now. We just sent his twin to next years draft too.
