$37 Million in perspective
It’s a lot of money, an obscene amount. But, if you’re not willing to pay it, you should cash in your chips as an NFL owner and open a Domino’s franchise. Guys who hand toss pizza, no matter how good they are at it, can be had for comparative pocket change.
Jones’s $37 Million cap hit lands him in 13th place among Quarterbacks. My guess is that he wants and deserves more than that. My guess is that he ends up with a contract a lot closer to $50 Million in average annual value. My guess is that, in 4 years, we’ll look back at $37 Million with fondness.
