It's a bargain

I see why Atlanta drafted him. 4 years at a bargain.

I can see that being restructured after two years

Seems like a decent amount guaranteed. I don't know what's standard these days. Definitely light overall. What do contracts matter beyond the guaranteed part in the NFL though?

I don’t think they can until at least after year 3. It’s the same reason #myNiners can’t redo Purdy’s deal yet

seems like a damn good contract for a rookie

The old rookie cap was ~ $675,000 per yr. or something. That helped the Seahawks win a Superb Owl. When you think of it that way, it's not that much of a lowball

Russell Wilson was on a 3rd round deal, not #8 overall. That Penix deal is peanuts compared to what average and up QB's get these days.

I call that a bargain, the best they’ve ever had.

But it has nothing to do with player position. Rookie salaries are set by where they are drafted.

Yes, but that's not my point. My point is any QB on a rookie deal who is producing is a massive discount versus the second contract. Russell Wilson at $675k was pretty fluky - I guess Purdy is comparable even though he hasn't actually won a title.
