Lately the most annoying thing is that older players are asking for way too much money, as if their age does not factor into the deal that they are asking for. Some older players are smart. I have a 99 Sidney Jones at age 31 that asked for a 1 year 11mil deal and he accepted a 4 year, $32mill deal. But I also have a 31 year old Miles Garrett who wants a duplicate of the contract I gave him after his rookie deal. Great players deserve to get paid, but when they're starting to regress they shouldn't be asking for the same money as when they were in their prime.

I'm an Eagles fan too but I had a serious LMAO moment with "99 Sidney Jones!!!!"

Anyway, I thought I read somewhere that front-loaded contracts are not permitted in the NFL. But I agree... I would like to see more complex contracts like you see in NHL and NBA games.
