The real measure of Beane's ability — and Josh's commitment to winning with the Bills — will be when he signs his next one. Will he want to be number one or two again? Or will he do a Brady and accept a reasonably hefty deal but not one that hamstrings the organization's ability to spend on other players.


I hope it's the latter, but I won't be sure till if and when it happens.

Joe Burrow

next year 

Trevor Lawrence 


We get on Brandon from time to time but just an amazing job by the front office to lock Josh up early he’s looking more and more like they shopped at Walmart for a franchise QB. 

 

 

 

 

His is 12th in cap hit this year. 5th next year (ahead of Mahomes), and 2nd in 2025. Only Watson's stupid contract carries a bigger cap number.

 

We have barely entered his big contract years. He will have to have an extension to lessen what will likely be very heavy cap hits in the next few seasons. Sometimes AAV is good, sometimes it doesn't tell the whole story. Sure Allen's total value may or may not be worth more, but what matters is the yearly cap number and it is about to be very high very soon. 

 

Josh has a fair deal, but we aren't getting a mid tier QB contract coming down the pike any time soon.

Not really, putting homerism aside Josh is pretty undisputedly a top 5 QB in the NFL and when one of them reaches the point where you have to pay them again you ***** pay them, and it's ridiculous to expect Josh to take less than he's worth.

With the exception of Patty and Aaron, the rest of that list is crap

Joe Burrow's contract negotiations are going to be very interesting. Mike Brown doesn't have enough cash on hand to put into escrow to pay both him and Chase long-term top-dollar deals. I think both will get shorter deals just to keep the escrow down.

Mahomes recently said he doesn't need to be the highest paid player. Considering he's the most accomplished QB and most valuable player in the league, that's what we're up against:
 

It’s not about being the highest-paid guy,” Mahomes said. “It’s not about making a ton of money. I’ve made enough money where I’ll be set for the rest of my life. But at the same time, you got to find that line where you’re making a good amount of money but you’re still keeping like great players around you so you can win these Super Bowls and you’re able to compete in these games.”

I wouldn't be surprised if 9 out of 10 QBs go for the most money but I would be happy to have the outlier who doesn't demand the most so the team can better compete. Does Josh need his ego to be fed, or does he still want to make more money than he will ever spend but have a better shot at a real legacy?

Related: they say Brady took less money so that his team could afford better role players. They say. Kind of appears true, because he's not even on this list of the top 8.

Brady doesn't currently have an NFL contract so his pay is $0.

Just kind of how it goes, as he makes his way down that list he slowly approaches the moment he jumps back to the top.

 

You mean hurdle right?

If you put your sports ego aside and trust your GM. Take $30M instead of $50M per. Let your GM use that $20M to build the team around you. Win a few super bowls, be a superstar like Brady. You will earn that $20Mper back in endorsements and marketing while playing and have even more money waiting for you when you retire.

True that. But his last contract was for $25 mil. That puts him pretty low on this list.

How much did he get under the table---we're talking New England here.
