Pack Love Love - $220M/4 years

[ahmed]

A lot of money for 1 year of production but he will probably turn out good given Pack QB history.

 

[Guts]

I actually like it for the Packers. I feel like Stroud will be a top 3 QB not even kidding

 

[Triumph]

Why wouldn't he?

Its worst than betting on the ponies.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Love is probably the qb i would’ve been okay paying out of the guys that got extensions (lawrence, goff, hawk tua iirc)

 

[KCSVEN]

They have a great offensive minded head coach; I believe he makes Love look better than he is.
He had 9 above average games and 10 below average but the better games all came after week 8.
He still has Lafleur.
He's definitely not an elite QB and is overpaid and if he doesn't improve as a QB he'll be a middle of the road QB handcuffing the team with his high salary down the line.
Tons of risk this contract eventually handcuffs them with a mediocre QB because he had 1/2 year of solid play.

However, they had to sign him and hope he's the real deal. No real alternative out there.

Dak Prescott....

Life lesson... Teach your kid the QB position early, get him working speed and accuracy drills, feed him lots of steroids so he's big and strong and he too can retire at 28 with a half a billion dollars...

You basically just wrote Tua’s biography

This is getting out of control

If the Love we saw over the second half of last year is the player he will continue to be, Green Bay will be a perennial contender and Frisco's biggest threat in the NFC.

One interesting facet will all those QB mega deals is the potential for a cap adjustment in response to the Sunday ticket litigation. Jerry Jones is talking like a cap reduction is inevitable. This could handcuff teams who have spent 20% or more on one player and while cooling the market for a few years.

It's going to get a lot worse. The NBA just got better broadcast deals from NBC and Amazon than NFL currently has. NFL can renegotiate with CBS once the Paramount merger happens, which means more money in the salary cap. And NFL can renegotiate with NBC, Fox, etc. in a year or two. Quarterback salaries are going to explode because the cap is going to explode.

NFL makes like $14 billion annually and the penalty is $4 billion, which NFL can appeal. Potentially NFL will have to renegotiate the Sunday Ticket deal with YouTube to allow more product flexibility (such as you can just get Pats games rather than having to get every game, etc.), which might decrease its value to YouTube. But the idea that there's going to be a contraction would be a short term bump at worst.

It's going to get a lot worse. .

Will it get worse as a percentage of salary cap? Raw numbers mean little.

I don't think the percentage will change much, but the disparity of what was the top number a few years ago to what it will be will be staggering. If a middling QB can command $40 million a year now, people are going to freak when it's $60 million or $80 million or more.
