Just look at the collapse of Seattle once Russ got paid. The legion of boom disintegrated and they haven't been the same since. (It wasn't because they lost their great DCs, I'll tell you that). You can see the same starting in KC, as the QB gets paid, the surrounding cast begins to part ways and the team is left to rebuild through the darft.

So let’s say in 2 years, they gotta give 300mill.

Then, the year after, they gotta give Campbell, Lloyd, Walker and Muma massive extensions (if they do work out which we all hope).

You have to maximize the time you have when you have a gifted young QB. Surround them with elite skill players. As good as the Jags defense may be this year, they’ll need to score points to keep up with the Bengals, Chiefs, Bills, Chargers, Broncos etc.

I really like what the Jets have done surrounding Wilson with offensive talent. I wish the Jags had taken Elijah Moore instead of ETN but here we are. Hopefully Pederson is cooking up something good.
