Yeah I’m thinking both guys sign next offseason, I thought that was assumed. Also this topic of discussion is too fragmented if we try to vary the QB’s projected production. Again in this discussion, I’m assuming both QB’s play to the ability of them and their teams.If Goff or Wentz sign this offseason, there is zero chance either gets more than Wilson. Now if Goff or Wentz are made to play out this season and have fantastic years, it's possible.
People keep assuming that each QB that signs just ups the ante but that's not necessarily the case. If Carson Wentz goes out and has a good but not great year and the Eagles are good but not great, I think there is close to a zero chance he gets a deal more than Wilson's AAV of $34MM unless it has shadow money built into it.
I anticipate both will have good enough seasons to where their agents can make an honest claim at getting them into the top 3 if not #1 spot. With how the market has played for the last 5 years, it’s alot more likely these guys top Russ than slot in beneath his deal.
If both play to their and their teams capabilities, you’re looking at 35M+, which would then allow Dak (if he himself has a good season), to make the case for being paid more than them. This would make his deal a lot closer to 40M than the 30M we’re sitting at now.
