I think we all have a different opinion of what a, "big contract" is in today's modern era... I believe a big contract in todays modern era for a QB is 40+ AAV... I would be upset if we gave Geno anymore than a 30+... Some here believe 20 million is their cap...
I don't want Geno to make more than 30 AAV per year/ with nothing more than a 3 or 4 years contract... I want the bonus to be upfront so we would have an opportunity to cut him after a year or two if necessary... I don't want him to be more than 12% of the cap...
I want to ensure we avoid a very high cap hit after two years like the ones listed here... If he gets a bonus, let it be heavily accrued in years 1 and 2 so we don't get hit with a very high cap hit if we release him after 2 years... We will have so many starters on rookie contracts so we won't have too many high salaries being paid out over those 2 years...

Also, here is the average annual salary each QB will be receiving... This is where I don't want Geno to be more than 30 million per year... 30 million seems like it's a bit above average for a starting QB salary in today's era...
We will be replacing some veterans with rookies, so the salary will be less in those cases... For example,

We will be replacing some veterans with rookies, so the salary will be less in those cases... For example,
- Jalen Carter could replace Puna Ford - freeing up salary
- LG could replace Gabe Jackson - freeing up salary
- Safety could replace J. Adams - freeing up some salary over the next few years
