The Money Elites Welcome Big Members Into The Fold
WELCOME TO MONEY WEEK!
Comics about money, all week long, you bet that means all 5 days. It’s been too long, friends. This offseason has been hectic and bullshit for me, and every time someone got paid (Wentz, Russ, Ben, Foles, AB) or switched teams (like Flacco, Bort, Tannehill) I hadn’t yet addressed the previous development so it got backed up on me. Well now it’s late June and it’s time to make up for lost comics in one fell swoop. This week we are gonna shake up the money-verse. This is gonna be big. Big. Like the next contract. Gotta at least get the new status quo set before Dak gets paid, since everyone wont shut up about that upcoming one.
This being the first of the series and from here out it’s gonna get even dumber and lore-heavy, I guess we should give some time to actually speak about the contracts that have been signed so far this year.
Russ – Honestly I’m fine with it. I think Russ is a top 5 quarterback and I love watching him play. I think he’s a weirdo and I hate the Seahawks, but he’s just so much fun. He was absolutely deserving of the highest contract in the land the same way Rodgers was last year.
Foles – The Jags probably overpaid but what else are they gonna do? Foles was going to get mad stacks no matter what. I’m just interested to see Foles outside Philly, in clear command of a team that isn’t good but was not very good mainly due to QB play.
Wentz – I’m honestly pretty happy in the sense that I think giving Wentz that much was a mistake by the Eagles. If Wentz stays healthy, he’s worth the contract. Two years in a row now he’s been lost for the season due to injury and watching him play scares me. Wentz strikes me as a bit too reckless, closer to the RG3 scrambler type than the Russ type. I worry about QBs like that. Wentz was fine last year before he got hurt again, and I worry what two years of big injuries could do. He might pull a McNabb and becomes a stud pocket passer or he might die. (I hope he dies)
Big Ben – I mean of course captain fat fuck got a big deal, fairly expected. He basically owns the franchise at this point.
Antonio Brown – I believe this may have been discussed already.
If you got thoughts on these contracts, please share ’em!
It feels so… weird seeing Bort in a Rams uniform.
Well, with him and Flacco still around in their new team jerseys, guess TEAM MONEYZ is a club where, once a member, always a member. Even if their money stacks get greatly diminished.
Not much else to comment I guess. Except for the Carson Wentz bit; I was frankly quite surprised he got his mega-contract now, when the norm is getting them one year before the current contract runs out. After all, there’s no sign at all of Goff having any contract talks, and Dak is having his just because he’s got no fifth-year option as a 4th-rounder. So why now for Wentz?
With the crazy rate in how QB money keeps rising, I’ve seen an argument that the Eagles just decided to get it over with ASAP in the sense that they’ll pay Wentz like a top QB, yes, but by doing it early they’ll pay him a lot less than getting the contract done next year, as a weird kind of insurance just in case that, as Dave outlined, two years of bad injuries have ruined him, or at least diminished his play.
Weird way of explaining the impetus behind the Eagles getting this done, but whatever.

This week was made for you sir
Oh that´s the BOAT?
I was wondering about this! Are they allowed to stay, or do they get shot out of the Wad Cannon? We shall find out next time, same money time, same money channel!
“It feels so… weird seeing Bort in a Rams uniform.”
I didn’t even realize that was Bort until I looked up his current team.
Same. I was like “who’s the Rams #5?”
I only realized it was Bort because of the constant beef he has with Tiny Russell Wilson in the Money Wars storyline.
I, too, had to check up on him on the Rams roster to make sure I didn’t mis-identify him lol
Man, I’m a Broncos fan and it took me a bit to realize the guy in orange and blue was Flacco. It’s just so STRANGE…
I’m interested to see how things end up with Foles. I don’t expect him to be a world-shattering quarterback, but if he can just manage to be “pretty good” and that’s enough to push the Jags over the edge then that’ll make the AFC interesting for the first time since… shit, since my team won the Super Bowl. Please somebody get good enough to beat the Patriots, we’re gonna be a Wild-Card-At-Best team for another year or two at the least so we can’t take them to Mile High for an upset anymore
Last time Foles left the Eagles he turned into crap. I see no reason why it won’t happen again.
Right but that was also a team coached by jeff fisher. I’d say it evens out to a good old fashioned “we don’t know what he’ll do”
Hmm, true, I forgot about the Fisher Factor.
MONEY COMICS!
