For months, Keyshawn droned on and on that it’s all about the guaranteed money.

I never accepted that Donald put a lot of weight on $/yr as a measure of his worth.

I don't think anyone could know that in advance though...it's speculation. I think what happened here (and I am speculating as much as you are) is that Donald accepted less in terms of annual avg. and conceded on years but traded all that in for guaranteed money/bonus money. The Rams could offer that because they played the Kroenke card. SK can afford the big cash stuff so the Rams play that.

BUT in terms of the argument I was making, it is significant that right now there's only 3 qbs above the top "best defender."

That returns things to the era of Watt and Suh when they were way up there in terms of comparing to top 10 qb contracts.

It won;t last though. Several hundred thousand qbs come up in 2020 and 2021 and the numbers are going to get apocalyptic.
