The regulation of provide and demand is actually in play because the NFL’s quarterback market seems to be overheating.
It was simply Thursday night time when Jacksonville signed Trevor Lawrence to a surprising five-year, $275 million contract after three up-and-down seasons main the Jaguars.
This pushed the already excessive ceiling to compensate the league’s most uncommon commodities even increased.
Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco Johnson, former receivers who know a factor or two about quarterbacks, not too long ago mentioned the explosion rocking the NFL.
Sharpe made the surprising prediction that, inside 5-10 years, any individual might be paid $500 million.

The previous star tight finish for Denver (and briefly Baltimore) requested a easy however profound query.
“If they gave Trevor Lawrence $142 million to sign, what is Patrick Mahomes worth?”
That could be a query for which there’s undoubtedly a solution, and there’ll come a day when the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs might want to pay much more to their celebrity and three-time Tremendous Bowl champion.
The loquacious Sharpe continued to maintain Mahomes within the dialogue, granting that he’s the NFL’s marquee participant in the intervening time.
Nonetheless, cash isn’t his motivating issue, simply because it was not the first aim for the person he’s chasing for greatness, Tom Brady.
Sharpe appropriately famous that Brady acquired a style for the glory of profitable championships, and that turned his overriding aim over seeing what number of {dollars} he might squeeze out of his crew.
Likewise, Mahomes isn’t pouting over being changed by far lesser quarterbacks because the league’s best-paid participant.
However a $500 million quarterback is coming, as Sharpe properly predicted, and he possible performs for the Chiefs.
