I get that. But if you're a player, would you take a 4 year 80 million dollar deal with 25-30 million guaranteed, or a one year deal with incentives to reach 20 million? And...................run the risk of getting hurt.It takes two to tango. You assume Winston wants a long term deal, but that is highly unlikely. Winston know that if he signs a shorter deal (the Russell Wilson strategy) he gets the chance to sign another contract (most likely a MUCH better deal) while still in his “contract prime” for a lot more guaranteed money than signing a long term deal now.
The QB market in 2021 is a lot different than the 2006 market, when Brees signed a 6 years deal.
