We're seeing what happens in Seattle once Wilson got paid QB money and in 2021 we'll see what happens to KC once Mahomes gets paid. 2020 is his last year on rookie contract with base salary of $735,000 and cap hit of $5.2 mil.

In the case of the Chiefs this year. Mahomes ($735,000) and Tyreek Hill's ($820,000) combined base salaries was less than their backup QB Chad Henne ($3,350,000) and Punter Dustin Colquitt ($1,950,000)!!
