We’ve got 3 WRs that are probably worth 20+ million a year and we are likely losing 2

A FIFTY million dollar QB should be able to make stars out of just about anyone.

With the right coaching of coarse.

The NFL and QB contracts is getting out of control. 

Russell Wilson is a ~50MM AAV QB and he is playing like shit so far. 

Kyler Murray is a 46MM AAV QB and he plays football like a high school QB, running around until someone slips out of coverage. 

Derek Carr is a 40MM AAV QB. I don't think I even need to elaborate on that one.

Dak Prescott, the QB who is being beat in productivity by a journeyman QB, is also a 40MM AAV QB. His fans' excuse? "Well, he only has Lamb left."

Even Kirk Cousins is a 35MM AAV. 

These prices are only going to go up. 50MM AAV is quickly going to be become the new baseline for a QB 2nd contract, especially with the salary cap raising so much.

Quite frankly, we'd be lucky to lock Burrow in at just 50MM AAV. The dude is a consensus top 10 (and often top 5) QB.

You can't expect a QB to succeed if you put nothing around him other than a single target who will get double and triple covered if there are no other threats on the field.
