I don't know, most QB's see the bulk if not more than the original amount of money. Think about it, the cap has gone up every years since 2010, just go look it up. It's as obvious as the nose on your face. This year because of Covid is why there is even any concern of the cap doing down next year as the team revenues could be impacted as games could be cancelled and the gate at the stadium will be zero. At the end of the day, no team will lose any money, no team will lose any money! NFL owners never lose money. Take a piece of masking tape and put in our mirror.
They would not get into this business and become legacy owners if it wasn't a lucrative business. The owners in the NFL have a 52/48 revenue split advantage, no matter what the owners get more.
Having said all that, i don't think we should pay Dak what he is asking for.. I am not some illogical owner hater...
There is only one Mahomes in the league and he is the clear tier 1 guy. There are two outcomes of this deal.
The overall QB contract for Dak, Lamar, Watson, eventually Darnold, Tua, Mayfield, etc, etc have gone up, but the one great part is the next contract wont be higher than Mahomes deal as those guys cannot ask for 50 million because they are not Mahomes. A new high bar has been set and these other guys dont qualify.
