he will get paid. Most likely ATLEAST $50M a year but I do think there is a real chance he takes less than he can to help the team remain sustainable.
when I say less, I'm not saying he takes $25m instead of $60M. I'm saying if the market value is $65M - then I can see him taking $50M-$55M to give the team some extra room to maintain the best chance to compete for chips.
he isn't like all these guys who spend $50k a month on outfits, which is an extremely poor way of managing money, but to each their own.
Could happen. Who knows.
I do think it's safe to say we aren't going to see a 60 percent increase in QB salaries in 1.5 years.
Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me. Five years ago jimmy got a record and he was at $28M or so and now guys are closing in on $65-$70M.
regardless of what we do, since we don't have a stingy owner, i could see us doing a structure similar to what hurts got. Google it and you'll see how it provides salary cap space the first 3-4 years or so relative to what his actual earnings are.
I'm not too worried about the next 4-5 years though, in regards to how Brock's salary will impact us. It'll be an extension - so his fourth year will still be cheap for us but he will get a fat bonus that'll make him happy. We will spread that out over numerous years. Then we will creep into it.
The fifth year will be a big jump from $1M to like $30M but it'll still be a good deal relative to other salaries. So I'm not really worried about maintaining this team for the next handful of years. Just need to keep doing what we've been doing, finding good young talent and impactful cheap vets with expensive studs mixed in that we cherry pick.
