Goff's cap hit through 2027 averages 16.0% of the total cap. Burrow's is 15.4%. Lawrence is only 7.9%. The Lawrence deal is WAY better for the Jags than Goff's is for the Lions.
@@z0mb1e564 the salary cap is also rising each year, and the way that I think it’s structured should be to accommodate for that, if that makes sense. But idk, I’m just happy my team is actually good
I'm a Lions fan too. The reason Goff's contact worries me is we have a lot of young talent whose bills are going to come due during this contract. Hutch alone will get 30 plus, maybe closer to 40 the way top rushers are getting paid. And when Ben Johnson leaves, will Goff revert to how he looked his first year in Detroit? Because that Goff wasn't even average.
As a dolphins fan, the bucs are the smartest nfl franchise in Florida. Locked up a decent qb on a team friendly deal and kept some of your best players around him. Unless baker is horrible this year it took you guys just 1 year to replace brady while the pats are still trying
Deshaun’s contracts pales in comparison with all contracts since then. These comments really show how smooth brained fans are. The Clowns are a fun punching bag I guess but neither of you make sense.
@@hatmoza1 okay I am fully aware of that fact that each player is basically trying to top Watson's contract and then whichever player ends up top in that contract the point of the matter is is that Watson's contract caused a domino effect. And now each top quarterback wants to be the next highest paid quarterback the drama that went down between Lamar Jackson a large reason for that was because of what happened with Watson and then they had to get that worked out.
@@blackAngelProductions but players topping contracts has always been a thing even way before the creep got his contract. You’re still making zero sense.
@@hatmoza1 this is true as well and I'm not even saying these players are wrong for trying to get the biggest contract they can and make the most money 💰 I am not even mad at the players but I can understand the market for players trying to set a certain value so that way your salary cap doesn't get murdered by one player's contract.
If your comparing QBs yearly average, you need to take into account when the contracts were signed. At the time, Patrick Mahomes $45m year was the equivalent of 22.7% of the cap. Lawrence on $55m is 21.3% of the cap. If you take the percentage the Chiefs gave up (essentially, adjusting for inflation)...Mahomes deal today would be about $58m per year.
Yeah but Mahomes was a 10 year deal, everyone knew when he signed that contract that it was a bargain because when these contracts are done it’s with the assumption that the cap increases. The only year it didn’t was the COVID year.
Mahomes was also MVP, lost in the AFC Championship in 2019, then winning the Super Bowl in 2020, where he was the Super Bowl MVP. He signed that next July. Sure, Lawrence is 1.4% less of the total cap hit, but I can confidently say which contract I believe to be a better deal.
Except that these lists of $/year are completely useless. Burrow's average cap hit through 2027 is 15.4%. Lawrence's average is 7.9%. You have to look at the details. Burrow's deal has an earlier out for the team, but more of the money has to be paid before that and there's dead cap associated with Burrow's contract. Jacksonville can cut Lawrence in 2029 with zero dead cap and $150M of the deal is in those last two years.
I'm looking at over the cap's website and Lawrence's details of his deal. If the Jags cut him in 2029 like you said, they get dinged with a $21m dead cap hit while saving $57.5m
I mean, the reason is because kinda what Grossi says. If the extending team doesn't pay them like that, if they just let them walk in FA, someone else will pay them that money, and possibly more. The desperation for quality QB play is immense
perna saying tua deserves more money then Lawrence is laughable Tua aint won a playoff game yet and has a atrocious winning percentage against good teams
Cuz none of the qbs who've getting the bag deserve it much... Trevor has made 1 appearance.. I personally believe only 8 QB's deserve 50+ million... The rest which includes dak deserve less
@@alexf8309 I don't know how anybody in good conscience especially seeing how other quarterbacks like Joe burrow and Patrick mahomes play why they would even consider giving Dak Prescott anything if I was my Carolina Panthers I wouldn't even hire him as a backup. What good is a quarterback that can't get it done in the postseason what good are you? You know I may not like Patrick mahomes I think he's overrated as hell but at least he gets the job done.
I agree with Tom...if you think you have "the guy", why wouldn't you pay him? That seems to be what's happening with the top QBs...except for Dak. Also, when it's time, Love, Purdy, and Stroud need to be paid comparable.
It is all about timing, right place and right time. Less about where you are in absolute terms since people better than you are locked in and can’t take your job.
What you don't get is that this was super early. He still has two years on his rookie contract. $55 million a year in 3 seasons will be average. He's also stupid young. He's only 4.5 months older than Bo Nix. They just signed him to the next 7 years.
The contract for Lawrence is incredibly deceptive. It is really a five year 138 million dollar deal with two option years for 78 million then 75 million that will likely never be used. It is really a 5 year 138 million at 27.6 million AAV. A very team friendly deal. Watson will cost the Browns almost that much in cap space in just the next two years.
Lawrence, Watson, Murray, and Cousins don't make sense to me. They are all paid of and idea of winning, but they have played multiple seasons without that level of success. Goff and Burrow were paid off of SB and NFC Championship appearances. At least get 2nd round playoff wins or be the top of your division. That's too much money without enough proof. How do you elevate your team?
Watson absolutely deserves that salary but okay lol Can't judge him on his time in Cleveland if you're going up sit there and say we can't judge Kyler due to his injury lol
My take away is that it’s interesting to see 2-3 QBs per offseason pushing the market up and up every year. I feel like the QB contracts are outpacing even the exploding cap growth. The % of cap is getting higher and higher due to this. Eventually I think teams are going to be too top heavy to succeed.
Contracts are the best cause people like you guys go up and just blabber and we get to see how bad you would be at running a franchise.. and how little you actually understand contract negotiations
Said who? I’m not gonna act like I’ve watched Jags games every week but they’re not the Panthers, they have quite a few games in highly watched windows, and I’ve seen 1/2 a season where Trevor looked like a great QB (the end of 2022). He wasn’t exactly lighting it up for the first 12 weeks, before he got injured this year. If this guy had the exact same tape and resume and was a second round pick or late first rounder, nobody would be giving him this kind of hype.
So looking just within the AFC South, there’s good contract money on Lawrence, Stroud and Richardson. And then you have the Titans. Having Levis on their books means you’re only committing at most $3M per season through the end of 2026. Sure, money not spent on QBs can be allocated elsewhere, but just as Trevor will only be as good as the receiving corps the Jaguars can afford, so too could we see the receiving corps in Tennessee only getting good value if Levis steps up. For 2025, I could see merit in an $8-10M QB aiming to be a backup in Tennessee (Stidham, Mariota) and/or a $6-10M WR2 wanting to serve under Christian Kirk for the Jaguars.
No athlete is worth this amount. When do salaries and ticket prices start dropping? The quality of many professional sports is declining but we pay more for less.
I mean, he does have as many playoff wins since he came in the league as the Packers, only got the 1 win last three years as well. And he is the highest paid per year the same as Tyreke Hill was getting 30 million a year.....on paper only. Stop looking at the total number and start looking at details, this is a team friendly contract and everybody pretending the team got hosed.
Lawrence does not hold Jaguars QB records. Blake Bortles holds a lot of single season records and Mark Brunell is the the best QB Jacksonville has ever had and the Packers drafted him then traded him to Jacksonville.
Jordan Love ain't worth that and he will be getting more than TLaw. And then we have another joke that still has the Russ Wilson contract on the books.
Sadly Trevor Lawrence has been a bust in my eyes. They got him weapons, they got him coaching still putting up terrible numbers he is equivalent of Daniel Jones atm both have a playoff win against a bad playoff team both have shitty numbers
None of these teams that pay their qb mahomes money go on to win shit. Mahomes is a tier of his own everyone else should be making less no wonder the chiefs keep winning
I get what you’re saying but I also believe that NFC teams are all around generally moving way better than the AFC. Lions, Niners, Vikings, Packers all love to play spoiler in some way or form in the whole picture of the NFL (whether it be on the field or in business) and then you have teams like the Bucs, Bears and Falcons who went from idiots to Nostradamus’s in the span of a few weeks. Its the AFC that keeps making these weird ass moves year after year along with the usual suspects like the Jets and Cowboys lol.
Depends, the contract he signed in 2020 was for 10 years...if he plays to the end of that, his age will prevent him getting the highest qb mark. Itll be crazy compared to todays numbers but not by then. If CJ Stroud continues on the same trajectory from his rookie year, however, woo boy...he could be looking at $60m a year minimum.
At some point these contract comparisons need to have a "signing date" as an equivalent to "adjusted for inflation"
This will help Lawrence get to the Super Bowl!
He'll be able to afford a ticket now.
Goff contract keeps getting better and better.
Got a deserved pay day, and now all these other teams giving up cap space to their "deserving?" players

I said Watson the same time Perna did. lmao
With the way QB contracts are going, fans should get ready for $50+ beers
His contract is team friendly until the last two years
"Show me my money" -Him Probably
Maybe I'm confused but it's 55M a year starting in 26 right? By the time he seems a dime it won't be top 5 (that being said he's not top 10)
