Chase Young re-signed to a 3-year, $51 million deal

I am not a Young fan, but one thing a lot of people are not factoring in is the rate of inflation going in with NFL contracts right now. Tier 3 and tier 4 QBs are getting more APY than Brees, Manning, and Brady ever got. If you combined Drew Brees' APY with the Saints and Peyton Manning's APY with the Broncos, they make less than Derek Carr's APY with the Saints. Justin Fields at $20m APY with the Jets is a higher APY than Brees had with the Saints.

Myles Garrett just got $40m APY. Crosby's at $35.5m APY and Bosa's at $34m APY.

Every half decent young DE in the league is going to be getting $17m APY as the floor.

This is what happens when the salary cap is $297m.

Very good post to me, Granderson signed a 4 Yr 52 mil in 2023 and their production was similar last year stat wise add with inflation and if pressures hold weight Chase Young Contract doesn't even seem that far off from that number. Only diff i see is one is underperforming based on draft status and other one is over achieving. I feel they play and now pay is similiar.
