If you're starting in the NFL because you're still doing the same job.
It's a step ladder.
They need to meet you halfway up that ladder.
There's 32 NFL teams.
That means you are one of 32 men that got a starting job in the NFL.
People just don't like the story because even $20 million sounds like a lot to the average fellow.
But when you're saying that's half of what other players made at that position, at the Cardinals especially.
Like I said, Kyler Murray was making over $46.
Look what he did.
Think about some of the great deals that were considered bargains.
When guys like Baker Mayfield and quarter Super Bowl champion Sam Darnold made in the 30 to 40 million dollar range, what were they considered?
Anyone under the moon would expect something competitive if they're doing that job.
It doesn't mean he deserves superstar money.
It doesn't mean he should be making.
I mean, Jalen Hurts is not even top 10.
He's making 51 million a year.
He's saying 20-something.
I think that's fair in the NFL for a starting quarterback.
Put it in perspective to the average guy.
