Derek Carr extended

Skins should have committed to Cousins in 2016.

Yup but remember it takes two to tango and he may be looking for someone to overpay, which is going to happen.

Carr & Eli over Luck & Cam? Russell behind Stafford? Strongly disagree with those.

If Stafford played on a high profile team, or even a team that won more than it lost, or did a lot of commercials he'd be a big star. He plays for the Lions and is a very private person. IMO he is under rated.

But he is going to get a big fat contract when he come due. I don't know when that is but there will be a lot of upfront dough involved.

These contracts are rising as fast as a helium filled balloon.

I really appreciate you breaking down this stuff and explaining the cap.
You da man!

QB contracts are downright insane.

Honestly, if I were a GM... I would have a QB whisperer head coach in place to ensure I can get maximum return on the position. Then I would draft a QB every year until I find my franchise signal caller. Once I find him, I'd start taking a non-round-one QB every other year as a baseline rule. Carry 3 QBs, with one as a dev project, and flip the ones that I can like Wolfe used to.

And the goal in all this would be to avoid paying asinine QB salary. I know, I'm nuts.
