Small break in the dam...

Dood punched a chick while awaiting his entry into the dreamiest of all the dream jobs this planet has to offer. I don't care how hot she is or what she did or didn't do to deserve it. He's a moron and should be drafted accordingly.
I wasn't suggesting they are evenly comparable, or that Jennings should receive anything close to Wilson. I do think it's reasonable for Jennings to suggest the gap should be a lot less than a 4:1 ratio in 2025 comp, especially if they end up receiving anywhere near similar targets.
But let's...
He obviously thought it was good/acceptable for the role he had then. Things have changed and his role has grown well beyond the contract in the year since.
Fair, but you could structure the 2025 bump with incentives and escalators based on production to limit team risk, and still come to an arrangement that satisfies and rewards the player should he turn into more of a true WR1 this year. Garrett Wilson just signed for four times per year what...
