That fully guaranteed contract the idiots in Cleveland donated has probably broken the mold for QB contracts going forward.
All QBs signing a big time deal now are going to demand fully guaranteed contracts.
If Creeper Watson can get one... ALL QBs can get one too.
Agree, and very curious to see how things play out over the next eighteen months.
First with QBs like Murray and Lamar Jackson, who have issues/questions (Jackson’s being durability and sustainability); and next with QBs like Burrow and Herbert, who are a good 2022 away from being up for extensions with no issues or question marks.
Agents will ask (demand) fully guaranteed deals but will team owners give-in? Owners like the Bengals’ Brown and Chargers’ Spanos might not, yet they have the two current “Golden Boys”.
Watson was a unique situation. Aside from the mess he was in, Watson was a major QB talent, young, wanted a trade, Houston wanted to trade him and he had a full no-trade-clause.
Should be very interesting to observe how things play out.
