It is basically a five year 50 millions dollars deal because of his first round tender

Hopefully, all this money will prevent him from punting the football during training camp!
Seriously, the guy deserves to be paid as a top-5 WR. Aint my money!HULKFish, Finsanity, Zach13 and 1 other person like this. -
I don't have any issues with that contract. Marshall is arguably the best WR in the entire league...

After that tho, definitely. He's better than Ochocinco, edwards, jackson, Boldin, etc. -

Not our money. Just get us to the superbowl so I can shell my 2k for a chance to see my team in a superbowl.

It's really not much more than Dansby got.
Marshall's a bigger character risk for sure. But he's also a better player.HULKFish likes this. -
I dont care about the money, as a Yankee fan, hate all you want, but I am glad the ownership actually is investing in the players to help this team win a championship, instead of pocketing it....It is Ross's problem, not ours, I want playmakers on this team, and you have to pay for playmakers.....

Great investment... You know Ross may have had some say on this as well. He talked about how he wanted some star power on the field as well as in the stands... WIN-WIN situation!

Plus, moss was that Deep threat. Marshall is that big play threat, but not necessarily a deep threat.DHPVW likes this. -

With that said I am thrilled to have Marshall
as well as Dansby on this team -

how can a jets fan not respect Ted Ginn? You're the only team to get beat by him. -

Ok, first, I'm ecstatic that we got Marshall. Now there are no excuses on offense. We have a play maker, we have good #2, 3, 4, and 5 WRs (assuming one of them is gone soon). We have an adequate, but not spectacular TE. We have a solid run game with three decent backs and a pretty good OL. There should be no reason we don't win against the Colts and Saints given the same circumstances now.
However, to compare Marshall to Rice is a little unfair. First, Rice had the advantage of an exploding offense for at least his first 10 seasons with arguably one of the top 5-7 QBs of all time, solid but spectacular at times run games, and very good complementary receivers to go along with him. All that said, if you want to look at Marshall in 10 yrs, then you can compare his numbers to Rice... It's like comparing Chad Henne to Dan Marino. Henne may or may not turn out to be one of the greatest of all time, but we know that Marino did turn out to be one of the greatest QBs of all time. So, comparing them now is very, very unfair.... -

The WRs are slightly in their favor although not by nearly as much as the Jets may think. Bess and Hartline are consistent. Edwards is not.
At TE they've got the pass-catching threat who can't block, while Miami has the excellent blocking, decent receiving Anthony Fasano.
At RB don't even start, unless injuries come into play. That's just stupid. -

So Marshall has 19 more catches but a whopping 1377 yards less and 28 TD's less!
I'm not sure but in his first 4 years Moss may have had the greatest start to a WR's career ever, he was simply amazing.
Ah man, I've just re-read your comment and you are talking about right now instead of at the same point in their career. Ah, well I'm not deleting that now. :lol: -
