SI's Andrew Brandt detailed why the Trevor Lawrence deal isn't the record-breaking contract people think it is.
There has been a lesson taught time and time again when it comes to NFL contracts: funny money rules.
Lawrence's five-year, $275 million deal drew a wide range of reactions when he signed it last month, with many opining that the fourth-year quarterback hasn't earned it."I say it all the time: Ignore the salary cap; the cap is just accounting. Focus on the cash: the cold, hard cash. If you are sensing a theme, you are correct. In the key markers of “how much” the contract earns for the player after one, two, three or four years, Lawrence brings up the rear compared to his peers in all categories.The Jaguars agreed to terms with the quarterback and former No. 1 pick last month, agreeing to a five-year deal worth $275 million with $200 million in guarantees and $142 million fully guaranteed.
