I wonder where we will be in terms of QB salaries and NFL salary cap by the time the opportunity for the Bears to extend Caleb Williams rolls around. Assuming he becomes an elite QB and a face of the league. Which is a big assumption.
That's going up very fast. It was only like five years ago that Carr was the highest paid player ever, at only about $25M. Now, they're already over $60M. Pretty soon Mahomes' half-billion dollar contract will be the biggest bargain in the league.

Agreed but it might slow down. We have seen a rebalancing of where teams will allocate capital. QBs, WR, DE, DL seem to have gained the most from the cap going up.

I suspect that's going to snap back to rewarding elite QB's. I think teams are screwing this up by paying non-elite QB's as though they're elite, but Mahomes or Allen may well be worth $70 or $80 million, already.

No one wants to be the team that gave out the next Daniel Jones contract. I hope the 49ers don't go too crazy with Purdy. I want them to keep him long term and he fits the system well but if he wants a Joe Burrow contract I am not sure.
