It’s not about if the players are super star players or not. It’s very clear Pitts, Robinson, and London are top 10 players at their position even if their production doesn’t always say it. It’s about the organization not wanting to give contracts that allocate a large section of the cap space. Also if their draft is so bad do you trust them to pick anyone but the obvious choice?
All the QB’s you mentioned have either NOT won a Super Bowl (outside of stafford who made up less than 18% of his teams cap space). Again every guy you just mentioned is very good, they still are not anywhere in the same stratosphere as Patrick Mahomes.
Yes obviously the Ravens would have matched it. But signing him still goes against the philosophy of too much money in one player. It doesn’t matter if it’s a QB, he can’t take up all your cap.
