Pretty sure it’s a running joke. That pic has been used in many “I saw him at the airport” joke posts. Maybe even going back to Larry Fitzgerald years ago. [Reply]

And you made an exaggerated claim, realized you were incorrect, and tapped out. It’s like telling me that MVS is getting paid more than JuJu.
Got it. I didn't concede because I realized I exaggerated... you MADE me tap out. :-)
Current Contract
JuJu Smith-Schuster signed a 3 year, $25,500,000 contract with the New England Patriots, including a $7,900,000 signing bonus, $16,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $8,500,000. In 2023, Smith-Schuster will earn a base salary of $1,100,000 and a signing bonus of $7,900,000, while carrying a cap hit of $4,674,509 and a dead cap value of $16,000,000.
Though on other searches it says a 3/33 contract. Based on sportrac... it seems that Juju had/has a 3/25.5 contract to MVS's 3/30 which is what I was basing my argument about his current contract on.

I'm more than happy to be wrong and I would have to rewatch all 17 games again to point them out but... dude dropped/failed to catch plenty of short/mid range passes. He wasn't dropping/missing only bombs. Alas, since I can't point them out by game and with a time stamp I'm just gonna say you are right and I'm wrong and go about my day.

No, not gonna happen. I've been told that teams don't get FA "discounts" because they are x2 SB champions and current contenders.

I’ll put the chances of us signing Hopkins at less than 30%. We’ve already made moves to fill the roles needed in the offense, haven’t we?
I can definitely see immediate surplus value of a HOFer like Hopkins around all these younger players for a year, but these young guys need to play to improve so with his age a 1 year contract might be a perfect fit for both sides.
He could win a ring and retire if he wanted to. [Reply]

Want a big contract? Nope.
People seem to forget when the #Chiefs had like $2.73 to their name in the form of cap space in 2019 yet somehow found a way to sign Patrick Mahomes to a ten-year, $450 million dollar contract extension. If Veach and the Chiefs (ie, Mahomes) want D-Hop, they can make it happen. pic.twitter.com/X3GsSIYQzs

Well, they pushed money forward. You absolutely do that for a 24 year old MVP QB. You don't for an over 30 WR. You just can't mortgage a chunk of Mahomes' prime for him. [Reply]
