That's why I've been saying we need to win a ring while he's on his rookie deal.

People wonder why guys like Rodgers, Ben and Wilson never got back to a SB after appearing in them early in their careers? Their contracts are a big reason why. Hard to keep talent around them when they account for 25-30% of the cap.

It's not quite as dire as that.  Rodgers was actually on his second contract before he won a ring.  Ben was on his 2nd contract when he got his second ring.  Both of Peyton's rings were when he was off his rookie deal.  Eli won one on his second contract.  Brees, obviously was on his second contract before he won one.  And TB12, of course.
