Let's get into the NFL free agent signing period that began today right Well, a number of agreements for stars to remain with the teams over the week, and some of them you can see right here. But I want to address three moves in particular that caught my attention. We'll be getting Pittsburgh, where the Stellers traded for wide out DK Metcalf and agreed to a five year, one
hundred and fifty million dollar extension. Metcalf will presumably be paid with fellow wide out George Pickens, who's eligible for an extension this offseason as he enters the last year of his rookie deal. Now the question is who'll be throwing them to football. Russell Wilson on Aaron Rodgers. Both could be viable options for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I would tell you, if you gotta choose between the two ladies
and gentlemen, you choose Russell Wilson. I'm not saying he's better than Aaron Rodgers, because I still think Aaron Rodgers, even though he's not that bad man that he used to be, the brother through twenty eight touchdowns, just eleven and the septions passed with daarly four thousand yards with the New York just last year they did lose six games, six fourth quarter leads. No doubt about that, seven to one score games, No doubt about that. Aaron Rodgers can ball.
I understand who he is, what he brings to the table. Here's the flip side. Russell Wilson played a few years with DK Metcalf. There's a familiarity there from their days in Seattle. And because of that, I think that goes a long way towards the Pittsburgh Steelers deciding to keep Russell Wilson until now, he's gonna cost a pretty penny and that's where it could be a bit problematic, because he's gonna want his money so as a market value to be anywhere from thirty seven to forty million for
all we know, if not more. And I don't know if the Steelers should pay that. Okay, but you know what, what choice do you have? I mean, if it's really about the money, then you go get Aaron Rodgers. But if the money is not an issue, then you keep Russell Wilson. Because DK Metcalf and Russell Wilson have a history with one another. Right now, let's get to Buffalo, where Josh Allen got paid again. The Bills and Allen agreed to US six year, three hundred and thirty million
dollar extension for the reigning league MVP. The deal includes two hundred and fifty million dollars guaranteed to Allen, making it the largest guaranteed total ever given to an NFL player, surpassing the two hundred and thirty million of Browns guaranteed to quarterback dug Sean Watson a few years ago. The extension takes Allen from the fourteenth highest average quarterback salary to todd for second at fifty five million dollars a year.
Only Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has the highest average annual salary at sixty million dollars a year, which is all you need to know to justify Joe Josh Allen's money. How the hell does Dak Prescott gett paid more than him? How the hell is Dak Prescott still a highest maaded quarterback at football in terms of league average per year, Because remember five, six years, three hundred and thirty million, that's an average of fifty five million of the year, same
as Trevor Lawrence, same as Joe Burrow. Okay, same as same as those guys, along with Jordan Love. But if you are Dak Prescott, you're sixty million dollars the Dallas Boys with two player victories in ten years. It's paying his brother sixty million dollars annually, largest salary in the NFL. But here's what I do, like, Josh Allen, two hundred and fifty million guarantee you the league MVP. You've been to a couple of AFC Championship games. Guess what you
deserve that kind of paper. Okay, it's the highest in the league. Shouldn't be Dak Prescott's two hundred and thirty one million guarantee. I know Dak Prescott can play. I know he's no scrub. I'm not saying the brother doesn't get to deserve to get paid. I'm saying somebody who has achieved so little in the postseason shouldn't have more a higher annual salary or more a guaranteed dollars than anybody else. So the fact that Josh Allen has now
eclipsed him, I'm happy about that. I'm happy about that. Let me move on to Cleveland because this is where things get a bit hilarious because listen, when you think about Cleveland and what has happened between them and Miles Garrett, Miles Garrett and the Browns, that is after the team made in the highest paid non core to back in
the league. Let me tell you this, y'all. You might recall that Garrett wanted out of Cleveland last month by saying, quote, I had to say this show to y'all, this quote, that show y'all's quote. While I've loved calling Cleveland my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won't allow me to be complacent. The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton. It has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl. End quote,
end quote. Guess what, ladies and gentlemen. That came to an end on Sunday when the Browns gave him a record four year extension four hundred and twenty three and a half million dollars. The deal averages forty million dollars a year and includes a no trade clause. By the way, Garrett previously mentioned that he did not want to endure another rebuild with the Browns, who are coming off a three and fourteen season and hold the number two overall
pick in this year's draft. Now, my man dan Oloski on the ESPN pointed out, luck they either got a quarterback coming in or they're gonna use the number two pick on somebody like Shador Sanders or cam Ward. So the future is right either way you slice it. If you had gone out and got Sam Donald, that ain't the answer. If you had brought in an agent Aaron Aaron Rodgers, that ain't the answer. If you draft sha Door Sanders or cam Ward, that's not the immediate answer.
Rich makes Miles Garrett position kind of phony. Now, I ain't hating on the brother. He deserves every penny. He deserves every penny. The Brother's no joke. Double digit sacks every year since twenty eighteen, only two playoff appearances and one player victory in eight seasons. I get that part. But he's an absolute stud. He's arguably the best defensive player in football. The brother is sensational. There's no credit. Look, he's a mammoth of a man. No shade on him whatsoever.
I'm just throwing shade on this quote about I didn't come to the NFL to get to cancer and I came to compete for and win the Super Bowl. Can't do that with two playoff appearances in eight years. Do y'all know that the Cleveland Rounds have never played in the Super Bowl? Do you know they haven't been in an AFC Championship game since nineteen eighty nine. It's been an AFC championship game in thirty six years. It's nineteen eighty nine. It's thirty six years ago. And this brother
is talking about it's not about Canton. This is about compete for and playing in the Super Bowl. But you resigned. See what money does to people. See what money does. It makes the most excruciating situations seem easier to stomach. And in the case of Myles Garrett, that's a big stomach he'll need to have. He's got a lot of money to spend on food. You feel me, Way to go, bro, I am mad at you get your paper? Just say so next time, seat of the whole song and dance
about compete for the Super Bowl? Right, thank you.
