1- When would you give Lawrence his next contract?

2- Would you make him the highest paid player in the league?

3- Would Lawrence want to be the highest paid player in the league or would he agree a more team friendly deal like Brady/Mahomes and increase his chances of more success?

He's getting paid in the next offseason and if it isn't a record breaking deal it will be close to it

I'm good with all of that 

This year's performance will determine if it's a huge deal or a new NFL $$ record

1. Next year.

2. Yes.

3. Team friendly vibes.

Looking at cap space for next year it looks like they are making the room for his contract. I think we would happily make him the highest paid player, it's just the way QB contracts are now but he genuinely seems to love being here and i don't see it getting ugly like Lamar's in Baltimore. 

Herbert is #1 right now with a 5 year, $262.5m deal so about $52.5m a year. I think we would happily beat that (Burrow still needs to sign his next contract) so could be pushing $54m and I'd have no issue with that but can't help but think Lawrence would happily take around $45m and let us keep guys or add in FA.
