Upcoming QB Contracts...

I expect Burrow to sign like an 8 year extension (added to remaining two years) in the $400+ mill range.  Huge signing bonus.  Herbert will get a dollar more or something after that.  the rest of the rookie deals will see shorter extensions.  Burrow and Herbert are worth the Mahomes type deals in length.

Hurts probably gets similar money, but 4-5 years added on. 

Nobody in their right mind signs Tua to anything yet, especially since he also has two years left.

The wild card is how do the ravens and Lamar work it out?  If not, they obviously tag him.

Carr either gets a 1 year prove it deal or a three year deal north of $35 mill.

Garoppolo probably is a stop gap option for a team drafting one of the top 4 QBs in April.

The hang up between Lamar and the Ravens is the fully guaranteed contract.

If he sees guys like Burrow & Herbert sign non-fully guaranteed deals, and still refuses to take a contract other than fully-guaranteed, then he's gone. The Ravens simply aren't going to do it, and they shouldn't. He hasn't been available the last 5-6 games of the season the last 2 years during the most important stretches of the season. If he can't understand that, he's getting tagged and traded elsewhere.

FWIW, Market Values according to Spotrac: 

• Lamar Jackson - 6 yr/$244M ($40.7M APY)

• Joe Burrow - 6 yr/$264M ($44M APY)

• Jalen Hurts - 6 yr/$265M ($44.2M APY)

• Justin Herbert - 6 yr/$254M ($42.2M APY)

• Tua Tagovailoa - 6 yr/$238M ($39.2M APY)

Lamar has to be realistic at this point, he has regressed over the last two seasons. Not to mention the Ravens already have a Pro Bowl QB to replace him.

He has, and that's inarguable. Some Ravens fans are inclined to believe that Lamar is going to get back to 2019/2020 heights, and therefore is worth top QB fully guaranteed $, but the reality is that the last 2 seasons have not warranted that kind of contract.

Damn skippy. One of the GOAT QBs irl tbh imo

The durability concerns along with his regression as a runner and a passer make it impossible to give him a fully GTD deal, IMO. He should've signed an extension after the 2020 season, why did he wait?

I couldn't give Tua a super high GTD number. It'd have to have numerous injury stipulations.
