Some interesting tidbits:
- Deshaun Watson’s fully guaranteed contract really didn’t reset the market because none of the contracts that happened since followed suit. It was an outlier. The closest is Burrow’s deal, where the first three years (out of seven) are fully guaranteed.
- Brandt thinks that Lamar Jackson played his cards right waiting until his rookie deal was over to negotiate a new deal. Whereas Hurts, Burrow, Allen, others had their rookie deals extended, Jackson’s patience means he’ll make $156M through 2025. On the other hand, Josh Allen who was taken in the same class will make about $30M less than Jackson through 2025.
- Brandt considers Mahomes’ deal an outlier in the wrong ways. In the first three years of his mega deal he made $65M. That’s substantially less than Tannehill, Allen, Hurts, Murray, and 10 others.
