Well, the bar has been raised and probably not the last time with a few more heavy hitters coming up. (Jackson, Burrows and Herbert)  We better begin a penny campaign now in Duval...

Am I the only one on here that thinks that the Eagles will regret this contract big-time?

No. Especially for the way he plays and the way in which Sirianni enables him to be used offensively. He missed two games last year due to injury. He's clearly a running QB. With 165 rushing attempts last year I would be concerned for the long term with his durability and this contract. 

At some point. Teams will figure out a way to hinder him in the ground game and force him to beat them from the pocket. That offensive line they have at the moment is top shelf talent wise but you can't hold onto that power five forever and all it takes is one or two of those guys leaving or retiring and the party could very well be over.

Yeah. The NFL has to figure it out here soon. I know technically the cap doesn't have a "ceiling" because it's all based on revenue shares, however, good luck having a solid overall product out there when your QB is eating up close to 40% or more of your salary cap and the offensive line play has deteriorated to the point where the QB plays like a mid-level QB.
