There is a DRASTIC difference between the 2023 QB Cap landscape and the 2024 QB Cap landscape. From 2023 to 2024 there is an 88.97% increase to the averaged QB top 10 cap hits. In 2023 the avg (of the top 10) cap hit is 25.4M and then it BOOMS to 48M in 2024. The top QB Cap hit in 2023 would rank as #8 in 2024. ALL of the top 10 QBs have a higher dead cap than their cap hit. How do we see this changing the team landscapes with such a large cap hit going to one position? (Projected 2024 Cap is 240.5M)

    I would guess none of the top 10 cap hits other than Daniel Jones are going to actually be what you’re predicting

    Tannehill with the second highest cap hit, is the second best QB in the NFL. Checks out.

    I feel bad making a joke about him. He’s mostly been a really good QB for the Titans. Got us a close to a Super Bowl. Yet he gets so much personal hate on social media. His family got death threats for months after the 3 INT game against the Bengals. He deserves to be treated better by fans.

    How much is Cousins worth coming off his Achilles injury? He was playing at a top-5ish level prior to the injury. But, guys like Rivers, Ryan, and Carr(kinda) have shown it’s not a given FA QB’s in their late 30’s are the answer.

    We shall see. Time for fans preaching the viable limit to QB cap hits to put up or shut up.

    If teams show they can effectively structure a roster and win with QBs making this amount of money I sure hope they shut up.
