I'd be surprised if it wasn't over $70M APY on the 2024 draft QBs. Josh Allen/Patrick Mahomes could be valued at 9-figu Via @AlbertBreer on X

What happened: Albert Breer also estimates that Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes could command nine-figure annual valuations on a new-money basis. Those figures describe potential contract values, not agreed terms.

Why it matters: The projections suggest further escalation in quarterback extension costs. Breer notes that Dak Prescott's deal will be three offseasons old by spring 2027.

By the numbers: A $70 million annual average would exceed Prescott's benchmark by $10 million, or 16.7%; Breer projects the 2024 class above that threshold.

What to watch: Watch whether future extensions approach Breer's estimates and how their new-money annual averages compare.
