    I will give you my breakdown on it in a minute. “gets calculator.”

    He gets $157 million over 6 years. That equals 13.8% of the Cap over those 6 years. QBs generally get 12.8% of the Cap. That is pretty close to prevailing practice.
    .
    Carr got about 12.9%. Carr had 2 years left on his rookie contract. Stafford was in the last year of his second contract.

    2014 = 12.7%
    2015 = 12.9%
    2016 = 12.8%
    2017 = 12.8%
    Historic values of franchise QBs.
    It seems there might be a practice to leave the last year of a contract low to help induce the player to make a deal on the next contract. imo

    No big deal to me. Detroit needed to pay him, and is there a better option? He is the highest paid now until next year, when Kirk Cousins cashes in.
