[Lowe] I’m hearing Patrick Williams wants big, big numbers for his next contract… like, starts with a 2 and isn’t $20M. (alien.top)

I understand that teams in these contracts are paying for future production, not past production. If I’m going to give you like $100M, I’d like to have some past production. Patrick Williams has done some stuff, but like that’s just… if that’s the number, if that ends up being true and the Vassell deal ends up being the comp that his agents go to, that’s a lot of cheese.

Starting about 32 minutes into The Lowe Post.

Like, what is he thinking he deserves: 5/200, $40mil per year? That's almost in cognitive dissonance category. jfc.

It says starts with a 2 and isn't 20, so presumably 25-29m/y?

“Wants big, big money starts with a 2 and isn’t $20”

This implies he’s asking for $200M

Further on they say “I don’t know if I want to give him $25M” and they use Vassell as a comp, who is making $27M a year. So yes, they mean it’s anywhere from 21-29M a year.

So yes, they mean it’s anywhere from 21-29M a year.

at minimum it would have to be north of 25 since him getting $21M is close enough to 20 that it isn't something you make a distinction over. It has to be noticeably different to merit that kind of comment from Lowe.
