Is Joe Burrow the highest paid right now?

I feel like it's Burrow.

Yeah, that sounds right.

But now that deal is worth closer to $70 million a year than it is to anything closer to $20 million.

So you gave up so much and you've got this whole middle class of the league just decimated.

And that's still tangible today.

You can just go on overthecap.com or spottrack.com and just look at like average money per year.

And there is a top and then the middle class is literally like a

couple players and for quarterback, it's like two or three guys.

Like you'll have like, yeah.

And now it's like a Malik Willis or a Daniel Jones, like 40, like as crazy as to say like $44 million.

Like that's outside the top half of what guys are getting paid.

And then it's all rookies, like all rookies and guys on rookie contracts.

There's no middle class like that.

That's gone from the NFL.

And with that, like you lose everything.

Some of like, like personally, this might be like, you lose some of like the wisdom that comes with that of guys who have played in the league.

Because now they get, now they're getting churned out so fast because the contract is so cheap.

Yeah, I'm not going to extend you because honestly, this game beats your body up so bad that it's better just to get a fresh body in there.

And these people, they have no attachment to the sacrifices that have been built over a long time.
