What do billionaires do when they suddenly have access to a cheap workforce?

They just load it up on rookies.

So these veteran players, they sold themselves on the fallacy of trickle-down economics and got themselves replaced out of the league.

So the only people that this benefited really was people like Drew Brees, people like Tom Brady.

People who don't need it.

Right, but also are so indispensable to their organizations that they can eat up the cap space that was left over from the rookies getting signed.

So that's when you start to see the quarterback contracts balloon up, where you go from in 2015, 11 years ago,

or 2016, I think, Cam Newton signed a contract that made him the highest paid quarterback in NFL history at five years, $100 million.

Oh my God.

And now that number is what, I think, man, who's the highest paid?

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.
