He’s third alltime in passing yards for the Bears. And fourth in wins as a starter. (Trubisky is 5th, which is pretty damn funny)

well that is a pretty low bar LOL

bears are one of the few teams to never have a qb throw for 4000 yds in a season.

Pretty sure they are the only team to have never had a 4,000 yard passer.

For comparison:

The Packers are committed to paying Love $140.3M over the next 3 seasons.If they want out at that point they're on the hook for another $20M. The total cost for 5 years will be $231M.

The Jaguars are committed to paying Lawrence $114M over the next 3 seasons.If they want out at that point they're on the hook for another $41M. The total cost for 5 years will be $202M.

The Dolphins are committed to paying Tagovailoa $149.17M over the next 3 seasons.If they want out at that point they're on the hook for another $3M. The total cost for 5 years will be $235M.

some qb salaries today would covered whole teams in the 70s.

yeah I am too.
We will see the type of person he is. Can he keep his ego in check?
He wont be breaking records as an individual under Harbaugh (I suspect)
but can get better as a player as a whole.
Or does he get upset & feel like he is being held back?
I think it will be a positive, but there is a scenario where it isnt.

Herbert is a star and won't be held back and certainly may indeed be breaking records if he ever gets an OL and receiving corps at the same time. Gus Williams and Dobbins aren't going to be holding him back.

Probably more like early 90's. In 1992 when the Packers signed Reggie White the deal was for $4million per year.

might have been the greatest FA signing of all time!

It did actually give the Packers a respectable defense...for a few years

oj probably had the biggest salary in the 70s or namath.less than half a million i bet.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

oj probably had the biggest salary in the 70s or namath.less than half a million i bet.

there were players in the 70's with a 2nd job during the offseason. Most made 10's of thousands not 100's of thousands.
In the probowl back then they played to win because they got a bigger check for the winners. Which was like 17k or some shit.

Namath's contract was $427k in 1965. It was the largest rookie deal in any sport in history. It's also a big reason why, not just him but the bidding war for players, that caused the leagues to merge.

Free agency, I think 1993 was the first year for football also ushered in the salary cap. I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like the first cap was in 1994 and the total cap was $34,608,000. My how times have changed....

This is totally true. Plenty of players just went and got regular jobs because the pay was better. Probably should put some perspective on this as the minimum wage in 1975 was $2:10/hour.... so $10k was a lot of money back then...more than double the minimum wage...minimum wage was $4335/year. damn...

 

[Moab]

This is an interesting list, P Manning, Favre, Woodson, Champ Bailey and Ray Lewis are the only guys that came into the league before 2000.

Love is the luckiest man in the world. He turned about 8-9 games into 4 years 220 million.

I was about to post the same thing. He didn't look like a $220 million QB in the playoffs. This was premature IMO, as was he Hurts extension that few questioned even though he has had one great season and 2 that were not good enough. He folllowed that up with another disappointing season last year.

I commented at the time that Wentz was more accomplished when he signed his extension that everyone here was critical of. But that came years later, I did not recall all that much criticism at the time and I sure didn't see many questioning the Hurts extension.
