Or so it certainly appears. I've seen a few headlines, but haven't read any details til now.
"Quarterbacks will look at Sam Bradford’s lack of NFL success, or Brock Osweiler’s seven career starts, and expect $18 million a year just like those two got with the Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans, respectively.." these guys haven't really proven jack, let alone that much dough. Geez at least Flacco got lucky and won a SB before he hit the jackpot.
"Running backs will see Chris Ivory’s one 1,000-yard season (1,070 yards at that), and wonder why they aren’t also making $32.5 million over five years, as Ivory got from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Before free agency this year, only six running backs had deals paying more than $4.1 million per season, and now Ivory is beyond $6 million..." Insane! A single 1000 yd season gets 32.5M!?
..And the hits kept coming..
This will screw with FA for the upcoming years it appears
