With DJ going down for the year and us most certainly picking up a QB this draft it got me thinking Saquon originally wanted 16Mil/yr. Danny Dimes fought with the organization for a $40mil contract. Saquon and other RBs around the league didn’t get paid because of their injury concerns but looking around the NFL Deshaun Watson, Joe Burrow, Derrick Carr, Ryan Tannehill, Daniel Jones just to name a few, are all QBs with significant cap hits not playing up to or getting any value in their contract. I know hindsight is 20/20 and I even defended Jones contract when he signed it (not enthusiastically mind you) but now Barkley is getting run into the dirt while his QB rehabs in an already lost season. Next season now we gotta deal with Jones contract and it makes even LESS sense to give Saquon the money he’s looking for.

If you ask me, the only QBs that should be making 40Mil+ are Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson.
