Speaking of delivery drivers-so one of my sisters has convinced me that going into any building or being within 50 yards of another human being means that I will get the Chinese coronavirus, so I give in and start getting Peapod. The other day the guy comes and I ask him to leave the bags out on the sidewalk. So I thank him and tell him I hope he is getting good tips. Nobody, I mean nobody, is cheaper than me, but I have been tipping the delivery drivers. He said to me you would be surprised how many people don’t tip anything. Am I the exception about tipping these guys ?

The guy is not worth 10 Million a year. If he was he would have been signed by now. Free agency was over 6 weeks ago. It’s his right to do what he wants, but nobody is signing him for 10 million.

No one is going to lock into spending big money right now.. lets see after Thursday when there may be an NFL schedule and teams have to get to work. Heck.. any free agent could catch CoVid or blow off fingers with fireworks or any number of career-threatening/ending things could happen.. why take the chance when the whole season might be canceled and he'd be a year older the next time you need a CB?

Beats me. There's always CB-needy teams tho, he'll find a spot

See below. He has good stats.


"He became only the third player since 2000 to finish with at least 4 sacks (4.5), 4 interceptions and 4 forced fumbles in a season."

Jets guy here, Joe Douglas is too smart to throw $10 mil per,
wait him out..
I'd go $6 mil on a 1 year deal, would allow Bless, Maulet, Bryce Hall, etc. to learn from a Total pro, and still is a solid player.

exactly. The 49ers would certainly be happy to add him for the right price, as an example.
Yep. Kansas City, as well. Maybe he's holding out to play w/ a winner as well as for good money. Can see him going to SF, KC, maybe Baltimore even.

According to Darryl Slater , he is likely signing with the New Jersey Jets. Always good to see Rutgers players on one of the three local teams or on teams that are on national TV a lot like Patriots, Packers, Cowboys. Congrats Logan

Just saw this on twitter. This is fantastic! Not since Jamaal Westerman - almost a decade ago - has there been an RU alum on the Jets. (That is correct, right?)

I am confident that Douglas will do a good deal if he signs Ryan. He has been very disciplined about taking his time and not overpaying, which is quite a change for the Jets.

Great signing for the Jets. Really, really wanted him in another shade of green about 2 hours southwest of MetLife.

So much for a deal being imminent. Yes, NFL players should make all the money that they can given their short careers. But I’m not sure that over-pricing yourself into a limited market with few suitors and one-year contract offers is how to go about that.

Not just a limited market with few suitors, but a limited market with few suitors and ALL teams having gone from expecting the cap to skyrocket with the expanded schedule/new TV deal to instead being worried about the cap implications of playing with no fans.

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.
His agent knows his rating AND is doing what agents get paid to do. Logan will be playing this season if there is one.

It appears to me that his agent overplayed the hand. But he can still salvage a deal, and if it helps the Giants all the better.

The Giants HC and DC were with the Pats when Ryan played his first 4 yrs there.

With this being a yr when Gettlemen is under the gun to show some progress, a Ryan deal would be a good move.

I don't think this is the case.. I think CoVid is making every organization everywhere more conservative about spending money. I think LR's ask was reasonable under normal circumstances. Not that it would be met 100%... and certainly won't be under these circumstances.

I agree that Covid has had an effect. But it appears to have affected more the players whose asking price was considered high by NFL teams. It happened to Clowney, who has a world of talent and has been good. But he asked too much, overplayed his hand, and is still sitting out there. Lots and lots of other players have signed.

The Giants are near as desparate as an NFL team will get for cornerbacks, losing their second and third CBs over the last couple of weeks. And they just signed someone other than Logan Ryan.

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.
Few actors are under paid and many are over paid, though that’s starting to come to an end. Acting must be easy. I’ve never seen a profession where numerous people make it without ever devoting much time to it.

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

There is no such thing as overpaid (unless you talk about union based pay, those are usually overpaid for the value provided) in the free market.

If someone brings in $140mill, asking to get paid 10% or $14mill is not a bad ask to an organization. The question is can he provide $140mill of value?
