So, we have to wait until after this season anyway. Before that, more than likely Joey B is going to get his extension. Do you think he's gonna make more than Herbs? I sure as heck do. There's also talk that Pat Mahomes may be due for a reworking as all the young guns start inking deals richer than his, especially if he continues to dominate as he has. All those factors give us some darn good confidence that by the time we are working on a number both sides consider to be fair, it's probably going to be near that $300M value.

And yes, after two seasons most have us have already seen enough to say with confidence that the kid has earned his franchise-caliber contract, as we have little doubt that the trajectory will not continue upward. What have you seen that makes you think that he will regress, barring injury?

And unless he's trying to play some long game, he's going to want to set the market when he gets his deal, especially if he continues on the level he's already shown. Even if he doesn't want to, his agent absolutely will, as he probably will have other clients looking to cash in as a result of this new high bar. It's going to happen.

Joe Burrow: 82 tds 31 int
Justin Herbert: 94 tds 35 int
Trevor Lawrence: 37 tds 25 ints

Herbert 2021 stats: 38 td 15 ints

In what world do all 3 of these guys deserve the same contract?
