EDIT: Also, to save bandwidth from the typical nuthuggers, that salary isn't in the top quarter of QBs any longer IIRC.
Which again, gets to my point - there isn't a single larger advantage in the NFL right now than a cost-controlled quarterback.

$17 million is a pittance for any quarterback no longer on a rookie deal. That's, what, bottom 3rd for starting QBs on their second contract or later?

They make 3-5 times what similarly situated RBs make. That's why you don't take RBs in the first round.
