In a pass happy league how is it that a proven CB is out there? From what I’ve seen there is still good tread on those tires.
How is Logan Ryan unsigned?
- Thread starter Joey Bacala
- Start date
I hope the Eagles grab him for their 2nd CB. They have the cap space to with $23M under the limit.
From what I read, he wants a little more than the going rate for cornerbacks. I think I read around 12-14 mil per year but getting offers of more like 10 per.
Poor Logan if he has to settle for only $10 million/year. Geeeesh!
if you don't ask, you won't get it.
No reason not to ask, the NFL is still in a holding pattern.
Dear god, for me I'd be more interested in signing with a winning team than for a few more bucks.
Good for him. Know your value.

Should sign soon. I believe it was this week that now if a team signs a free agent they don’t factor into the compensatory formula.
That is you. And that is a lot of people. But not everyone. There is a subset of athletes for whom maximizing the earnings potential of their finite earnings years is all important. More so than winning, or geography, or family considerations, or playing in one's preferred position.
Scott Boras has made a very nice living catering to this subset. (Not saying that Boras is Ryan's agent.)
2 million more per year is definitely more than a few bucks. This will be his last big contract he should definitely get as much money as he can.
a corner that is closing in on 30 asking for $10 million a year is a hard sell for teams. There are quite a lot of teams that would like to sign him, but not at that price
Few is a relative term. Depends how much money you were making before and what kind of lifestyle you want to have.
Maybe somebody out there can crunch the numbers. How much more would he have to make playing for one of the two New Jersey teams than playing in Tennessee to make up for the insane taxes here?
Take off the scarlet glasses and look at it objectively. He graded out as extremely average last year and he's looking for elite money. He'll likely need to bring down his asking price or wait until training camp desperation sets in for a team who loses someone to injury.
These are the most ignorant type of posts of all time.
Exactly - and people don't get it ^^^ Why would anyone leave money on the table. Let's just act like we would all do it for free
DJ- that makes no sense at all...The guy has a couple of rings already. Go for the money now.
See, and I find your post totally ignorant, so wow, I guess people have different points of view.
A. I don't feel bad for him for having to settle for $10 mil/year. He will quite literally make more in a year than almost every other American makes in a lifetime.
2. Who said do it for free? I would say there's a big difference between $10mil/year and free.
D. Are you saying that winning twice means you have no desire to win at all anymore? To me, this choice is simple. I would rather play for a winner where I'd be happy for $10mil than a losing team where I know I'd be msierable for $13mil. Now, I understand that not everyone feels that way. But I hate losing. I hate losing more than I enjoy winning. So for me to sign on for losing just for a bit more money wouldn't make sense. Some people (Like you, clearly) don't mind losing if they're getting paid. But I would be so unhappy, and I can't put a number on my happiness.

Perfect world, he and everyone else would like to get paid the best to play for a winner. 2nd best option to me is get paid the best with the confidence that I can get them to the top. And the fact that he already has 2 rings, allows him that luxury.
3rd option is after winning 2 in NE, I would take less money to play for just about anyone else but BB. He is a great coach, someone you can learn a lot from, but one miserable SOB that doesnt give a **** about anyone besides himself.
And 13 or 14 mil for 2/3 years vs 10 mil for 3/4 years. equals closer to a $10 mil difference. If you are talking 10 mil vs 10.5 mil then you go with the winner for less. 3-4 mil each year- come on man...These teams don't care about you.
We're gonna have to agree to disagree here. I grew up pretty poor. Not far from where Logan did, actually. We were the poor kids that Eastern beat up on in conference play. Anyway, to me, there is no difference between finishing my career with $60mil vs $70mil (He's already earned over $30mil). To someone who has been around more money, maybe there's a difference. But to me, they're both abstract numbers and I couldn't dream of spending half of that in a lifetime.
Rich, poor, whatever- $10 mil is $10 mil for doing exactly the same job. I didnt exactly grow up rich either... We got our sneakers out of the box in front of the store 3 sizes too big so we could grow into them. And 4 years at $56 mil vs 4 years at $40 mil...is still a huge difference. We are not talking about 4 years and a $2mil difference, we are talking a huge number. Saying you grew up poor or rich makes no sense at all. And again, we are talking about someone who has won it all twice.
It does make sense because both of those numbers are unfathomable to me. It's like I have a 1 gallon pitcher and you're saying I can have 10 gallons or 12 gallons of beer. It doesn't matter because they're both above what I can hold.
And to me, you saying he's already won it twice is completely nonsensical. I play in a men's hockey league. We've won it plenty of times. That doesn't make me care any less about winning it next season.

I get ya...not looking to battle it out. But a part of me also thinks that a man like BB can also play a factor in something like this. What if you had someone running your hockey team that was a complete *** and made you hate every moment playing. But, he was really good and you had a much better chance of winning each year. Or, you could play on another team with a lesser chance of winning but the person running that team made playing enjoyable.And this is without even a money factor.
Love that a RU football grad and former NJ 4* recruit under Greg who just finished an above average NFL season and is not so insecure to jump on the first offers available during free agency. He’s played at a high level, has a SB ring and knows his value will preserve itself by the start of next season.
If Logan is positioning himself to make an additional $500k-$5MM, I say good for him. His value will never be greater for these NFL GMs. He’s the complete package on and off the field in his prime. In a few years he’ll be yesterday’s news.
Who knows he may turn around after negotiating more for himself and take a percentage of those funds not left on the table and donate It to the football program and/or charities that are near and dear to him.

I'm all for Logan earning as much as he can. But if these "new" days have taught us anything, it's that we now know what we can live without versus what is truly important.
Doctors, nurses, medical professionals, scientists, farmers, delivery personnel, etc etc = ALL UNDER PAID
Anyone in the entertainment business = Actors, athletes, etc etc = ALL OVER PAID

I don't watch a lot of Titans games but if you look at the statistics, it appears he was picked on by quite a few teams and didn't have a great year statistically in pass coverage. I'm sure someone will sign him once his salary demands match his recent production.
Ryan will sign with the Jets, once they figure out what they're going to do with Marcus Maye and Jamal Adams. Maye is supposedly on the trading block.
Love and respect all of the above essential workers- Doctors= not under paid Nurses = they are under paid Scientists = most not under paid Farmers = not sure what to make of them but not sure they belong in the list with the others on the true front line Delivery = Absolutely Under Paid at a time like this but in most cases, some of the higher paid employees of the company they work at- the warehouse people are the under paid
Actors/Athletes- would seem over paid until you look at what their work earns for others. So- yes, some way over paid and others are under paid.
It is all relative and does not relate.
