All nice and all. The NFL needs to create a base limit for QBs. It's way out of hand.

You’d think the PA would be interested in having that money spread around a little more, and the owners would of course be into anything that restricts spending.

Oh no...ticket price increase.....

Would that make season ticket holders feel better if they were told you are helping pay Hunter Luepke's base salary.

They make peanuts in NFL money.

I just want to know if any can play in this league and help us finally win another ring.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Just me but I'm coaching the hell Luepke to if he can earn some backup snaps by mid-season. Something about this kid ........... in a good way

Isaiah Land just scored himself a sweet 2006 Ford Fusion with that bonus

That one nightttttttttt

Bostic's means they most likely going to keep him on the 53. Or smash his toes with a hammer and IR him

Wheat and Luepke probably have a good chance at the 53 too.

Only if he also has to come mow my lawn every week during the summer.

UDFA's 'peanuts' would equal 'caviar' to most people outside the NFL.

It's all Dak's fault! Lol
Make as much as you can, they will chew you up and spit you out!

The effective number as a % of salary cap hasn't risen.

2013: Romo signed for $18m AAV, 14.6% of the cap, actual cap hit 9.9%.
2023: Lamar Jackson signed for $52m AAV, 23% of the cap, actual cap hit 9.9%.

Structure has changed but quarterback contracts aren't any more prohibitive now than they were a decade ago.

You can't go by that "actual cap hit" (aka "restructured") because all you're doing is kicking the can down the road where all of that restructured portion is going to quadruple in later years. It's still going to affect the team whether sooner or later. The one thing that would be certain to help balance that budget would be a base max for QBs. It's like balancing a checkbook and trying to find the best way to pay off your credit cards.

Myth.

And also they were doing the same thing in 2013 as now so that point doesn't matter anyway.

Myth.

Your way of thinking is a myth. One still has to pay the piper whether sooner or later since it's on contract.
