It doesn't matter if he is or isn't. That contract was signed 4 years ago. The cap has risen about $97m (or about 53%) since then.
For comparison, the top paid QBs in 2021 were...
Mahomes: $45m/yr
Allen: $43m/yr
Prescott: $40m/yr
Now in 2025 they are...
Prescott: $60m/yr
Burrow, Love, Allen, Lawrence tied: $55m/yr
There are 13 QBs now making more in 2025 than the highest paid QB was making in 2021.
Heck, in 2021 there was only 1 WR making at least $21m/yr. Now there's 19.
