The question now isn’t whether Goff will top Ryan and Wentz. It’s whether he’ll surpass Rodgers, Wilson and Roethlisberger./
See? Confusion.
2nd contracts for qbs do NOT take into consideration the amounts distributed to vets on 3rd and 4th contracts.
They. Are. Not. Connected. Markets.
I am amazed sometimes how many sports writers simply do not get this. Many seem to think that any time a qb is up for a 2nd contract that he's being compared, both in terms of the player and the contract, to the highest paid vets. And--no. No. It does not work that way.
2nd contracts are their own thing. They follow their own parameters. No one in the league is going "how does Dak compare to Wilson." They're going "what is the market for starting qb 2nd contracts this year."
I don't know why many of US get that and some professional sports writers don't.
