Do you guys think Baker Mayfield is in the top 3 most bang for your buc (pun intended) quarterbacks in the league?
brb let me check the list of most paid QBs, i was thinking about this yesterday actually but I was too lazy to check.
While I am at it, before checking… he should be around 10th-15th most paid next season, if he wants more than that it’s kinda too much. Maaaybe I can excuse him being like 8th most paid QB cause I know the market will reset in a year or two after so by the time his contract is over he’d still end up like 13th most paid or whatever
edit after checking:
LMAOOO Mayfield is the 37th highest paid QB this season??? THERE ARE 32 STARTING QBS AND HE IS NOT EVEN TOP 32??
He is tied for the 37th spot so only people paid less than him are Mac Jones and Kenny Pickett
Honestly I’d say Mayfield is #1 in this category. You get most out of him.
Tua is #28 highest paid QB so I’d say he has a case for that too.
Other notable “bang for your buck” QBs: CJ Stroud is #23. And that’s it. Geno Smith is #18 a good comparison for Mayfield next season maybe.
I’d say we got lucky with Brady too, we can only hope Mayfield feels like at home with us and he wants to stay.
I am pretty damn sure that some teams out there would be able to give him top 10 money so idk if we can compete
Also, after checking, I gotta say that I am retracting my previous statement, top10 QB money is kinda a lot, but I would not be opposed if he gets like 30-35m (for example this season: Garoppolo is paid 24.5m, Geno gets 25m, Tannehill gets 29.5m, Goff gets 33.5m, and I’d say these are very good comparisons for Mayfield more or less. )
