Dak made $725K in salary this year including workout bonus. And he led to 10 wins and the NFC east division title. Interesting stat on many otherhighly paid franchise QBs- Seven of the NFL’s highest paid QBs did not make the playoffs. These guys combined for 40 wins.
Aaron Rodgers: $33.5M
Matt Ryan: $30M
Kirk Cousins: $28M
Jimmy Garoppolo: $27.5M
Matthew Stafford: $27M
Derek Carr: $25M
Ben Roethlisberger $23M
Obviously Jimmy G missed most of the season but those top 3- Rodgers, Ryan and Cousins combined cost their teams a whopping $91 million this year and they did not even make the playoffs.
Hmmmm......
Dak has certainly given us good value and has come to work every day for the last 3 yrs . I believe only 4 other QBs have started every game the last 3 yrs Rivers , Ryan, Wilson and Stafford.
Dak is an available leader at a very economical price . To me its the difference between having enough money to pay other positions and make the post season . Or watch an expensive talented passer try to do too much with no team around him and struggle to make 8-8
Watched us that pay one guy and go 8-8 thing enough that Im anxious to see how this experiment plays out
