QBOFTF?This kind of contract is, in my opinion, one of the biggest weaknesses of the salary cap structure. The notion that any starting QB that signs nets himself the highest contract in the league, no matter how good he is, is ludicrous. Trevor Lawrence gets $55 million a year, so Tua will be pushing for $57 million a year. Not based on their relative talents, just "next man up".
Meanwhile, the actual best QB in the league, Mahomes, is sitting at $45 million a year. That, in my opinion, should be setting the bar. Not just who is the next "franchise QB" to sign. I think we've elevated a lot of "NFL starter talent" to "Franchise QB" status that don't deserve it.
This is why I never want one.. Just bridge em
