In this week’s podcast I mentioned putting a video together looking at how to value trades for veteran players taking into account the contract values of the veteran and draft picks plus the expected performance levels of the players, so here we go using a potential Aaron Rodgers trade as an example.

Crafting a “Poison Pill” Type Contract Offer For Lamar Jackson
I thought I would have a little fun with making up a strategy that would maybe allow a team to make a contract offer to Ravens QB Lamar Jackson that the Ravens would have a difficult time matching despite a low salary cap hit this year.
