Predicting Big Q's contract

[YDFL Commish]

My hunch is this: 5 yrs. 93 million w/50 million guaranteed.

More than I have made in my lifetime. Not a complaint. They should pay the Marines like they pay the NFL

6/114 75 of guarantees

I can see that, or maybe more.

I would be okay with the 19 million per but not the 66% guaranteed money. If that is a 6 year extension, meaning he plays under his current contract this year, I do not see that happening. That would put him into his age 33 year.

Way too high. Current highest OG AAV is $16 million or so. He's not getting $9 million per year more than the next highest paid OG.

More guaranteed money has been getting paid out lately, especially to players that teams think are important enough to lock up long term. My guess is if they did something like this, all the guarantees will be paid by Year 4. To your last point, 33 is not terribly old for a OL, especially not one that plays at as high of a level as Nelson.
