You think he would have gotten basically the same numbers if he LOSES the Super Bowl?
Obviously they wouldnt of let him walk, but its just crazy how the SB works with QBs and contracts. Or maybe Im just traumatized by Joe Flacco still. The deal he got after beating the 49ers in the SB the last time they were there was the largest contract ever at the time I believe. Two different situations, but in that case winning the SB after his unbelievable playoff run was undoubtedly a factor in the type of numbers he got.

After 50 TD's and MVP last year, plus the comebacks against Houston and the Titans prior to the SB? Yeah, he still gets paid huge. This wasn't a Flacco case.

You want to blame someone for Flacco's contract, blame Rahim Moore.

League revenues are going to fall off a cliff this year. It's almost a guarantee they'll recover but I wouldn't be surprised if salaries and salary caps stayed stagnate for a few years coming out of this.

Yeah, next year is going to be real interesting, as I don't think anyone has any idea what the minimum salary cap would end up as.
Worst case scenario, the NFL still has their existing TV deals, and I think teams will seat fans at whatever the maximum that state allows (25%? 40%?), but I don't know how much of a haircut losing 50+% of the stadium revenue will be. 2021 will be a bad year to be in line for an extension.
