I think he's going to take a team friendly deal along the lines of what Hurts/Mahommes did and not what Lamar Jackson did. For some reason, some people on here think taking a team friendly deal means playing for Pennie's. It's really just the difference between playing for $40M instead of $45M or the length structure of the deal to help spread out the money.
To me he's already the real deal. Idk if he will ever be a clear #1-2 (probably not) but I really believe we have a consistent top 5 QB. I think the FO wants to see one more year of some growth and improvement, and most important be great again this year.
If that happens, I will be very upset if we don't offer him a 7-10 year contract. I get the risk factor, but outside of a terrible injury, the kid is legit. Give him that 7-10 year deal, push a lot of the cap money down the line, and this also gives you so much cap flexibility with restructures.
The NFL isnt going anywhere anytime soon. The cap just keeps going up and up. AB posted about it as well, but it's estimated we will be over 300 mil cap space by 2030. So giving Purdy 40-50 mil a year and pushing that money down the line will basically be us paying him 25-30 mil a year against the cap for the first 3-4 years if we can lock him into a LONG term contract.
