I was listening to NFL radio yesterday. It appear GM's have seen San Francisco and Seattle win with a balanced roster and paying qb's very little. Additionally very few qb's are worth the 20 million dollar money and the ones getting the 18 million are not 90% as good as the top qb's. Basically KC feels Alex is not worth 20 million a year or for that matter 18 milion a year. The GM's are hoping to get the middle tier qb's for 10-12 million a year. This will give the GM's the luxury of keeping talent around the qb.
Which QB will blink first and sign for 12 million??

Brady took a bit less on average annually though not so much in guaranteed money. He helped the Pats cap thoughOriginally posted by 9erred:I was listening to NFL radio yesterday.

NFL radio didn't mention the Kap and Wilson are on rookie deals which is why they are paid so little and doesn't reflect what they will get on their second contracts.

No QB should make more than 10% of payroll. A QB can't win by themselves. The first team to pay a QB like an NBA headliner was flat out stupid in doing so now we are all forced to do this crap

Sad thing is... these QBs can really have both the SB ring(s) and the expensive lifestyles. So, it's like:
"12 mil per year average on my contract AND a team that can supply enough talent to keep us playoff contention?"
or
"18 mil per year average, and my team has major holes cuz we can't afford top talent around me to help me be playoff contender?"
Too much greed, ego, and too many silly contracts already handed out...

I'm sure some creative minds are working on this.
They did a GREAT job w/the rookie salary cap.
Maybe more performance based contracts will become more the norm?

Remember some of those QBs had their contracts 3+ years ago and that was a lot of money. When they get their new contracts the numbers will look right again.

15 mil is MORE than fair for a QB like Alex. If the Cutler deal never happened...Condon would have agreed to 10-13 mi without blinking.

Conjecture. Not agreeing or disagreeing..just saying that you can't know that.
