Wow, 27 mil a year.  Ok, I guess he's now the most valuable QB in the league?  I wonder how much Brees, Cousins, and Case want?  I would imagine this could drive up the price for all QBs, including Sam and Teddy.

Wonder what the Guaranteed $$ are - and signing bonus.

Nice $$ for a guy who's only played 10 games. Will have an interesting ripple effect on the other QB's currently unsigned - Cousins must be sending Jimmy G a bouquet for Valentines day with a big Thank You!

That's insane.  I guess we'll have to see the actual details of the contract to see just how insane it actually is though.

this is why the longer you wait to lock up your guy is futile.  the Salaries NEVER go down for a franchise QB.  In three years this will be looked at as a very reasonable deal if Jimmy lives up to the hype.

Its not really all that insane. The 49ers typically load their contracts with game-day roster bonuses. That'd inflate the deal by $1.5M+ per season. But as always, the next good QB to get paid will be the market leader.

I bet Mr Rodgers finds this interesting too...  B)

the Market sets these Salaries.  it always amazes me the push back I see from fans who act like it is thier money.  Reiff is a prime example,  the wailing and gnashing of teeth was weird because Reiff got market value fom the Vikings.  Now Reiff looks like a genius signing especially since Kalil got similar money and has had no where near the season Reiff has had.

Jimmy will not be getting upset!

So the wailing and gnashing was okay in Carolina? 

Not really surprised at the surprise when the market is absolutely crazy.

I'm starting to think the Viking's should go all in on Cousins.

I think "Jimmy G" is gonna be great. Is any QB worth that? Idk, but i do know this, the Vikings don't ever pull the trigger, which in the end means no championships. It's the Viking way. I'm 51 and I've been in this rodeo one to many times.
