My suspicion is that the Jalen Hurts contract is going to be the new standard structure. By the time his cap hits become a problem, the Eagles will just give him a new contract and start the cycle over. Re-do the contract every 4 years and keep kicking the can down the road until your QB is washed up in 10+ years.
Dak Prescott's deal is interesting. He has been paid $120M of cash ($40M per year) over the last 3 years with a total cap hit of only $63M ($21M per year). Somehow his cap hits are half of his actual cash flow, which is radically different from the Mahomes deal where his cash flow actually lines up very closely with the cap hits. Dallas & Philly added the void years in there to cheat the cap. And they'll keep finding ways to kick the can down the road. I bet Cincy will do the same thing with Burrow, which will allow them to keep both of his #1 quality receivers.

Yea, as long as your QB stays at a franchise level...
If he turns into a Kyler Murray or a Russell Wilson...
And that cap hit will bite at some point anyway.
