NFL QB Extensions Set for Record Year

After Baker Mayfield's three-year, $165 million extension with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the NFL quarterback market is poised for significant changes. With 13 quarterbacks now making $50 million or more, the next year could see a massive wave of contract extensions normalizing $60 million per year.

Particularly noteworthy are the 2024 draft picks - Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, and Michael Nix - who could become eligible for extensions after their third season. These young QBs, all immediate starters with playoff success, may push for $55 million annually if their success continues, with potential for fully guaranteed contracts like Deshaun Watson's. zeppelin.cool
