The post in this link shows all of the 2nd contracts for every QB currently in the NFL: [

I know you mentioned the last 5 before Wentz, but I didn't know how to pick 1 from 2015 so shown below are the last 7 before Wentz, showing year the contract was signed, terms of the deal, average per year, and percentage of the cap.
Their average salary per year is $23.86M, and Wentz' yearly average is way above that. But I think the answer you're looking for goes a bit beyond that exercise.
Their average percentage of the cap is 15.05%. A conservative estimate of the cap for 2021 when Wentz' contract kicks in is $215M. 15.05% of that is $32.36M - pretty much spot on what Wentz got. So yes, Wentz' contract absolutely follows the trend for 2nd contracts that the previous (7) 2nd contracts indicate.
2015, Wilson, 4 yr., $87.6M, $21.9M (15.28%)
2015, Newton, 5 yr., $103.8M, $20.76M (14.49%)
2015, Tannehill, 4 yr., $77M, $19.25M (13.44%)
2016, Luck, 5 yr., $123M, $24.59M (15.83%)
2017, Carr, 5 yr., $125M, $25M (14.97%)
2018, Cousins, 3 yr., $84M, $28M (15.8%)
2018, Garoppolo, 5 yr., $137.5M, $27.5M (15.51%)
