Yeah we just add the data up differently. I see Wentz's 2021 contract as being well within the parameters of 2nd contracts. And in terms of 3rd and 4th etc. contracts for top veterans, those will jump too.
2nd contracts for franchise qbs tend to be around 15+% of the cap and have been for a few years under the new CBA. In 2021 the cap is projected to be around 220 M. 15-16% of that is 33-35 M.
An example of that. In 2013 and 2014 Wilson and Seattle had been to the superbowl twice, winning once. In 2015 he was up for his 2nd contract and got about 22 M, which at the time was about 15.3% of the cap.
Meanwhile in 2018 Garappolo got 27.5 M, and that's after starting (at the time he signed) 7 games total in his career. In 2018, that contract was around 15.5% of the cap.
Superbowl winning qb, and then a qb with limited starting experience, and they got the same rough percentage at 2nd contract time.
