So, year 1 they get him for around $750K and year 2 around $2.3 million so an average of $1.5 million a year for 2 years for a starting QB. If they don't like him (AKA like Brock was hated in Houston), they simply don't put a tag on him and let him walk.
I agree the draft pick is the key to the compensation for both teams involved.
I could easily see Mac and his agent not wanting to play for $2.3 million if he throws for say 4000 yards and 25 TDs.
Speculation obviously, but I could see that being an issue.
Then there's all the other stuff I mentioned.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
