Hypothetically - a quarterback never misses a pass. Goes 35/35 for 600 yards and 5 touchdowns each game. What would their salary look like?
League minimum, because similar talent is available at the end of the draft.
100 mil per season.
It means it raises the price for every other qb in the league.
Invest like 70 Mil on defense.
Spend like 50 mill on all other positions on offense. Invest mostly on run blocking oline so you can drain clock well.
Get the cheapest wr and te possible.
Trade said wr after every season for more draft pick considering they will all have crazy stats.
Invest draft into oline and defense.
Sign udfa recievers.
Repeat.
Never misses a pass as in it’s always accurate? Or his receivers never drop a pass? If it’s the latter you could just hail merry it every play. Everyone else on the team could be a minimum contract and he would get everything else
NFL would nerf that mofo so quick
Brady made $18M in his last year
A qb that wants to win championships needs to take a pay cut
total salary cap less the minimum salary for the rest of the roster
Hypothetically if he scored 5 touchdowns guaranteed every game you would just need to have 10 guys on 4-7 round rookie contracts on offense and field a defense that gives up less than 35 a game. And the QB takes the rest of the cap
ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
Is it guaranteed that this happens every single game, no matter what?
If the QB never misses a pass couldn’t the team just run a Hail Mary every time and score a TD?
Whatever Ohtani ends up signing for.
The difference of whatever it takes to hold the other team below 5 touchdowns + the minimum to fill out the offense.
Next year’s cap is $240m, highest QB cap hit next year is Watson at $64m. So I’ll just give my guy a generous $80m per year, fill the offense out with schlubby vets since I’m guaranteed offensive performance, and spend well over half the cap and all my draft picks on a crazy dominant defense.
You can do Vet min o line and WRs and RBs. So yeah half the cap atleast. Honestly whatever he asks for.
Does the team need worthwhile WRs at all in order to sustain this pace, or is he converting with UDFAs out there? Does he need an OL at all? If you’re putting up 35+ points every single game, how you look at team building changes.
