Now you have teams like the Panthers, the Texans, insert whoever.
Once they're ready to be paid, some of these high prices QB's will be let go or not paid etc.

But you're going from maybe 12 teams with a large contract QB to close to 20 by next year. And from short term deals for guys like Brady and Brees and Rodgers to long term deals where teams are trying to build long windows. Many would argue that most of the top qbs are way overpaid because they're soaking way too high % of a teams cap. So QB salaries have far exceeded inflation.
We havent even factored in the second contract WR boom. That's coming soon too. We had one of the biggest talent booms at WR the past few years. Those guys will start to get paid. All these new contracts eat into the overall pie of money available. And if this means that even 5-10 more teams now have less appetite to spend that's substantial. There will be a lot of talent hitting the market and way less competition to get it
