For those that don’t know, they cannot get out of this until 2028 because they would have to eat $100 MM+ in dead space in order to do so at any sooner point. That is not a typo.

There is an option to get out in 2027 by adjusting his salary down since that year is not guaranteed. But they would need cooperation. Otherwise, the only option before the end of the 2027 season is a June 2027 cut where they eat 48 MM in 2027 and then 52 MM in 2028.

Yes, my head hurts too.
so what you are saying is..they are married to him for the foreseeable future lol

If you have a QB who even comes close to being worth a contract like that, your team is golden, barring managerial debauchery failing to build around them.

If your QB has that kind of contract and they aren't worth it then it's just about the worst thing ever.



Almost as bad as Rudolph playing and my bet being killed early in the game. This is uninteresting and unwatchable now

I'm in favor of QBs having a separate cap where only X% of the AAV (or whatever... @JojoTheWhale knows this stuff far better than I do) counts against the total cap hit. We all know it's not about the dollars and cents in the owners' pockets; it's about the cap dollars. Franchises can get crippled for years because of it.

Arguments:

Well, their GM got them into it, so he needs to get them out of it.
Agreed, but many times it's another GM who has to handle it and swimming upstream for years until the cap $ bubble has passed.

QB Agents will take this into consideration and therefore ask for more money since it is factored into that equation. Obviously, this would have to be cleared with the NFLPA. Maybe it's for X number of players on a team as long as that team drafted that player (dramatic shoulder shrug).

I'm sure there are other arguments to be made, so direct your anger at JoJo since I'm just a simpleton board poster.

I’d be fine with this, but the people you would need to convince are the owners like Mike Brown and Jerry Jones who don’t want to write the checks.

I know you're super innocent and don't know anything too detailed cause it's football. But my god the way its structured the closest equivalent is maybe the Weber offer sheet.
