@GoldBlooded44@Mickey_Wilcox@JoshDubowAP I never said Jones is a superstar. I said Carr helped get him paid more just like Agholor. Bottom line is, Jones wouldn't have got 3 yrs/24 mill without Carr.
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP But that's all just normal inflation and "the going rate". The 5.5 mill raise he got would have happened regardless of who he played for and is just what a "50ish catch" WR would make according to you. Right..๐ Carr definitely helped him get paid more.
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP Bottom line is, nobody wanted him, he was getting in trouble off the field and wasn't being productive on the field. The Raiders traded a 5th round pick for him and his 1st season only cost them 750k. 3 years later he signs a big contract...headlines like "shocking" "lucrative"..
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP How ya gonna tell me that 5.5 million raise was just "the going rate" and had nothing to do with the season he had with Carr, that's ridiculous. Without the 2021 season he played with Carr, he would have been lucky to get 3 yrs/12 mill (1.5 mill raise).
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP He didn't get some big raise for "doing nothing". He made 1.7 mill per year on his rookie deal and the Raiders resigned him to 2.5 mill per year so he only got about an 800k raise after 4 seasons. Then 1 season later he signs for 3 yr/24 mill/8 mill per year, a raise of 5.5 mill.
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP The Raiders paid him about 800k more per year after his 4 year rookie contract when they signed him to 1 year/2.5 millon in 2021. Now, after 1 year, he's making 8 mill per year which is a 5.5 mill difference. That's not just normal inflation bruh...๐
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP You crack me up, going off on a tangent trying to prove your point. "ballooning WR pay" huh..๐. His rookie contract paid an average of 1.7 mill per season, Raiders resigned him for 2.5 mill, now he's making 8 mill....
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP Yes I understand. The same site shows you exactly what the contracts were. After his rookie contract the Raiders signed him for 1 year/2.5 mill in 2021. He just signed for an average salary of 8 mill in 2022. 5.5 mill in inflation in a year? Uh no. Without Carr, he signs for less
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP Facts: The Raiders paid him under 5 million dollars in 3 seasons. He just signed a 3 year/24 millon dollar contract. His second best season (almost his best) was 2021 with Carr. Call it what you will.
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP Did you not see the career earnings chart I posted? It shows exactly what the Raiders paid him. You can talk about rookie deals and the way it all was structured until your blue in the face. The Raiders paid Zay Jones less than 5 million dollars in 3 seasons.
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP I'm not mad but clearly you are. What he made initially or how much each contract was is irrelevant because it all equals to less than 5 million for 3 seasons that the Raiders paid. That's less than 2 million per season. He's about to make 7 million for 1 season.
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP Yes, the 750 was technically incorrect but the under 5 million in 3 years wasn't. He's about to make more in 1 season than he did in all 3 with the Raiders but that's all just inflation? Right...
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP I highlighted it for you. This is Zay Jones career earnings. The symbol next to the year is the organization that paid him and the number on the right is what they paid....๐
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP Did he make less than 5 million in 3 seasons with the Raiders? Is his current contract not 3 years/24 millon? So his value went up correct?
@mcbane89@JoshDubowAP He made less than 5 million in 3 seasons with the Raiders but yet he just signed in the offseason with Jacksonville for 3 years/24 million. Slice it anyway you want, he got paid because of the way Carr talked him up on top of his play.
