This makes a lot of sense as investing so much in one player has to limit the resources to acquire and maintain the other players needed.  With all the massive QB contracts being signed it will be something to watch going forward.  Green Bay has already had to let Adams walk.  Kansas City has 50% of their cap tied up in their top 4 players. (65% if you add 2 more)  Yea I know there are ways to "manufacture" space by adding void years, but that really sounds like a high risk alternative if not used prudently.  Are there any front line Saints without void years?? LOL 

This is something I will be watching with interest this year.

What do you guys think?

As counter intuitive as it is, I have felt this for a while.  Right now, Jacksonville is in its best theoretical window of opportunity, having your QB on a rookie contract.  

Also, Tom Brady is an outlier.  He's the over the top Franchise QB that makes any team a contender, but has a supermodel wife that earns enough to make his salary almost irrelevant.  He has also dominated the era that has seen the largest inflation in QB salaries.  In the next few years I think that you will see a Maholmes, Stafford, Rogers Etc. grab one.
