QB salaries are not a pecking order. It’s all about Market Price and when they sign a new deal.The mahomes contract, is the smartest contract in the nfl.
He took less so the team could win SB's. His per year pay is 50 mil , for ten years!
They can manipulate the cap bigtime since it is such a long contract.
He is making less in these early years so the team has more money for other players.
The cap is going up each year, so that makes it easier to deal with those later years when they have to pay him more.
If dallas pays CD 27 mil a year now instead of 30 , he is still generational wealthy, but helps the team ( he should decide how that money is spent)
A few mil less is not a big deal , Same for dak, 40 mil a year is plenty, but he wants 60, that is just greed.
No way any QB is worth more than mahomes. The others should all make less than mahomes.
And there’s not really an official pecking order. The fact Mahomes signed a longer deal ( 10 years) about a half billion is a reflection more of the Chiefs wanting to invest long term. Most franchises aren’t willing to commit that long.
