I'm just speaking strictly on the "He is not a top 2 player so he shouldn't be paid like it" crowd. I bring up inflation because 2 or 3 years from now that will not be a top 2 contract. And with inflation.....teams "don't break the cycle". Because what one team won't pay another team will. It never fails. Happened with Jimmy G and Cousins. Because eventually a team will come up that thinks they can contend now and don't want to have to invest in a 1st rounder to do so. Like the Vikings.There's a second part to how inflation works and that is when a product, in this case Dak, is eventually priced at a level that the buyer, in the case the Dallas Cowboys, decide to hold off purchasing and/or look at other options, such as continuing to rent for a little longer or going with a cheaper model. I wouldn't even say inflation is the way to look at it. Yes salaries are rising but I think it's more of a supply and demand issue. Teams are stuck with no real alternatives except the QB they have under contract or tagged so that QB essentially can ask for top dollar even though they aren't the top QB. Eventually some team will have to break that cycle. Are QBs going to be making $100 million per season in 7 or 8 years?
