Which NFL Quarterback Will Hit the $60 Million Mark First?

Market Growth for Quarterback Contracts: $60 Million Bound?

Over the past two years, quarterback market values have surged from $46 million (Deshaun Watson) to $55 million (Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence). The constantly increasing salary cap and market growth hint that a quarterback securing $60 million per year could be imminent. Dak Prescott of the Cowboys seems closest to this milestone. With his contract nearing its end, Prescott holds significant leverage to set a new record.

Similarly, the Packers’ Jordan Love presents a strong case. A potential five-year, $300 million extension could bump him to the magic number, given Green Bay’s unique financial flexibility as a publicly-owned franchise. Matthew Stafford of the Rams also has a compelling argument. With recent contracts for comparable quarterbacks, he might negotiate a deal reaching $60 million annually.

Veterans like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes are intriguing candidates. Allen’s increasing salary cap hits make him underpaid by current standards, while Mahomes’ long-term deal could be restructured to keep him among the highest-paid. Meanwhile, young quarterbacks like C.J. Stroud and Brock Purdy could also break the $60 million ceiling if their teams decide to invest early. This ongoing financial evolution is reshaping the competitive landscape.
