Paying Mayfield $40m... Ugh.
What would be sad though, but also quite entertaining, is if Evans signed on with Tampon to have some random jerkoff QB like Garoppolo throwing to him in 2024.
Rams awarded 5 comp picks

He also said the Bengals might have been screwed:
"The Cincinnati Bengals received two compensatory picks this year for the 2024 NFL draft, the first time they have received extra picks from the comp picks process since 2021.
But the two sixth-round selections awarded by the NFL could be in error, according to one expert on such matters.
Nick Korte of Over The Cap, the go-to name on comp picks, says the league's valuation of contracts and values of players lost to other teams might've cost the Bengals as high as a third-round compensatory selection.
According to Korte, Jessie Bates should have been valued as a third-rounder and not a fourth. As a fourth, Cincinnati's losing him was canceled out by the team's signing of Orlando Brown Jr. in free agency:
Translation: There's a scenario where, if Bates gets valued as a third-rounder, the Bengals earn third-round and sixth-round comp picks instead of two sixes. It should go without saying, but the difference in value between a third and sixth-rounder is massive -- from the late 90s to early 200s difference.
This is worth keeping in mind, if nothing else, because there have been errors in the comp pick process in the recent past. In 2015, an error caused a revision of three comp picks. In 2021, a team was shorted a pick that was later corrected.
That doesn't mean there's an error here, especially when much of this process is secretive-feeling. But given the value of the pick differential pointed out here, it's certainly a point worth raising."
Wouldn't it be fair if NFL teams knew the process for awarding comp picks? Secretive is exactly what it is and that could appear to be a way for the NFL to put their thumb on the parity scale? What's the big deal? NFL teams could bitch if the comp guys make a mistake? They don't now?
I think it's gotten out of hand. IMHO, the only 3rd round comp picks should be awarded for losing minority coaches. What they're doing is actually penalizing the shitty teams and lowering everybody's normal picks. This year 4th round picks are 4 slots lower, 5th round picks, 7 slots lower and 6th round picks are 16 slots lower. That's 50% of a round, not to mention a lot lower in value when it comes to trades. Comp picks for losing players should start at the bottom of the 4th. And they should take more than money into account. Why should a team be awarded a high draft pick because an ass-clown team with a lot of cap space gives somebody 75 million? In some cases when they had no intention of re-signing the guy at any price? They should have a "point system" and use 5 catagories all 20% of the formula. Length of contract, money per year, games played, performance (top 5, top 10, top 25 of position), awards (pro bowl, all pro, top 5 in MVP voting). In reality, since it's mostly about money, some teams are being awarded high comp picks for other team's stupidity.
Something like this would be fair:
Length of contract: 1 yr (1.33 pts), 2-3 yrs (1.66 pts), 4 years + (1.99 pts)
Yearly value/cap hit: 4 mil - 7.5 mil (1.33 pts), 7.6 mil - 12 mil (1.66 pts), 13 mil + (1.99 pts)
Game played: 5-8 (1.33 pts), 9-12 (1.66 pts), 13+ (1.99)
Performance (by position): Top 25 (1.33 pts), Top 10 (1.66 pts), Top 5 (1.99 pts)
Awards: Pro Bowl (1.33 pts), All Pro (1.66 pts), Top 10 MVP (1.99 pts)
Bonus: MVP (5 pts)
Add up the totals and match it against the totals signed and you have a gain or loss by each team.
Going by that >>>>> Garappolo 5.31 / Mayfield 7.64.
And since it's not all about the money/stupidity, guys who didn't get great deals but performed like a guy who should have, will still rank into the comp formula. OR the NFL can continue to be secretive about it.
The niners lost more talent than the Rams because JG got 72 mil and Baker 2 mil? Yeah, okay. The niners actually saved money and a valuable roster spot by not bidding against that ridiculous Raider offer for an oft-injured game manager.
