What’s screwing over qb contracts is that other teams and QBs are comfortable with a qb taking up way way too high a % of the cap. That’s a them problem. And this is really disingenuous after hearing for decades about what a great team player Brady was. I don’t think I ever once heard anyone criticize him for taking a lesser contract.
The chiefs were rewarded for taking a 10 year risk on mahomes. Mahomes was rewarded for a contract that sets him for life. Other teams are welcome to do the same but my guess is most would not because they don’t want a qb under contract for that long
