This time next year Russ will be paid and he will demand a top contract with far more gauranteed money than Patrick (thanks Watson!) and an average cap hit of $51 million. Maybe more if Herbert gets paid first. And they can’t do what they did for Mahomes bc Mahomes works so well due to it being a 10 year contract with stipulations to lower his cap hit almost every year.
So really the Broncos are fooling themselves and will have to find Tyreek Hill’s or Travis Kelce’s or Trey Smith’s like the Chiefs have done in later rounds

Mahomes has almost set the ceiling at QB. Dak, Josh Allen, and Matt Stafford have all signed contracts after the Mahomes deal and every one of the came in under Mahomes' AAV.
Rodgers and Watson had unique circumstances to their negotiations. Watson had three teams competing for him and only managed to get $1M per year than Mahomes.
Who knows what Wilson's contract demands will be. If it's more than Mahomes' deal it will be a relatively negligible amount. Let's Reach already borrowed from Mahomes' deal in a failed attempt to win another trophy. General Paton can do that in the future too, if he so chooses.
