what is with every half decent qb resigning with their team getting mammoth deals?

The Jags obviously view Lawrence as a franchise QB. The view from inside the building is the only things that matters in these cases.

the 10 year $450 million contract that Mahomes signed in 2020 is now viewed as a bargain from a team perspective. There's a big cap hit next year, I wonder if they'll start adding any money to it when it gets restructured next year.

I get that. But the qb market is ****ed.
Yes he may be a franchise qb (I think he is), but he is nowhere near the best and therefore shouldn't be paid the highest amount.

A lot of it has to do with the cap increasing every year, but I agree, it seems stupid how the next guy up MUST make the most money or at the very least be in the ball park of the top few.

sign early - sign long
I agree, the only way is up in the current environment of the cap going up every year
PFF have a metric called wins above replacement (WAR) and QBs have the highest WAR, hence the desire by teams to hang on to any QB who is above average.
Get used to this being the new normal for QBs

Yeah Lawrence has one shit year, one good year and follows it up with a meh year
Now he is the equal highest paid QB
Logic would say he would be around 7th-10th on the list of highest paid

Its been like that for like 10 years. you overpay for the guy you have that is like top 15-20 QB just so you dont end up with someone like Carr or whoever falls on the scrap heap. and even those guys end up getting overpaid.

He sucked when it came to the draft though, got a few right but far more wrong, I felt violated.

His latest rumor is that JJ McCarthy will/could be a Vikings holdout due to contractual disagreement

No we're expected to believe teams and players come to these nine figure deals on a whim, the second the free agency windows opens

You’ve got this report from someone who has Vikings press credentials
Those actions from JJ clearly show he’s considering a holdout……

A nothing story half the first round picks haven’t signed yet.
Plus nix contract is fully guaranteed the qb taken after him so why not demand it. So was Jayden’s.

Engagement farming off Vikings negativity is a tried and true tactic though.
