Mahomes will be the highest paid QB until the next guy gets paid.
Hell, there was a time when Derek Carr was the highest paid player in NFL history.
Right now it's Dak's turn.

Yeah, but someone is gonna have to draw a line somewhere. That shit is unsustainable with a salary cap. And salary cap is good for the league to keep it competitive.
And with rookie contracts being reasonable these days, and seemingly more decent QBs coming out of the draft these days than there used to be, you would be better off just drafting another one every year than paying top dollar to a dude that is pretty ****ing replaceable. Spend that money on the rest of your roster.
