Salary cap will continue to go up, more and more QBs will continue to get paid (Lamar). So everything will be based on these rising numbers.
That being said, I think it gets done before the season. I don't think Joe is super interested in comparing his salary to everyone else in the leagues.
Others pointed out the benefits of getting guaranteed money as early as possible. Pat Kirwan is a fan of writing the contracts based on percentage of the Cap so both ownership and player are rewarded/protected depending on cao flux.
