Yeah, inflation has pushed Drew down on the list of highest paid QB's. But he will be right up at the top for this season. And whether he re-signs or goes elsewhere, he'll be on top of the list again. It doesn't matter where you rank among the best, if you are just good enough for your team to want to sign you long term, you will be paid top 5 and, often, will be the highest paid. At least for about 5 minutes.

But indeed there are a lot of loose ends causing the cap problems. Even though some insist it isn't a problem because the cap will rise, blah blah... They conveniently forget that inflation will continue to follow it.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
