Approaching QB numbers. Of course it's the guaranteed money that really counts.

"Approaching" Five years ago 30-40 million was the QB range. In five years, we can see an OT or Edge at 40-50 million.

In 5 years, the QB will be approaching the $60-$70 million range.  It's sort of mind-boggling how these numbers keep skyrocketing.   It doesn't seem that long ago that QBs were at the top of the pyramid at $20 million and change a year.

Burns and Allen have similar production over their first 5 years.  Neither has blown the doors off like a TJ Watt.  Burns has been more consistent with Allen going off in his contract year that was by far his best.

If memory serves, Allen has been slowed down mainly due to injury issues

2020 he was out significant time. In the following two years his sack totals were 7.5 and 7.

If Burns plays like the company he's paid in, the Giants have a steal for a 2nd rounder.

If the reports of $88 million guaranteed for Josh Allen are correct this is stupid comment by Duggan.  Burns has $41 million in guarantees according to OTC.  $88 million, $41 million -- practically the same  /sarcasm/

EDIT:  Well, maybe not.  Spotrac has Burns' guarantee at $87 million.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist. 

Not slowing my roll

The salaries have nothing to do with inflation.  They are 48.5% of NFL revenue.  The increases are the result of the owners bleeding the fans dry with pay-per-view (being forced to subscribe to service) excessive night games, and other profit-making measures (which generally make the game worse)

It was kind of a joke... not a funny one apparently.
