There is a DRASTIC difference between the 2023 QB Cap landscape and the 2024 QB Cap landscape. From 2023 to 2024 there is an 88.97% increase to the averaged QB top 10 cap hits. In 2023 the avg (of the top 10) cap hit is 25.4M and then it BOOMS to 48M in 2024. The top QB Cap hit in 2023 would rank as #8 in 2024. ALL of the top 10 QBs have a higher dead cap than their cap hit. How do we see this changing the team landscapes with such a large cap hit going to one position? (Projected 2024 Cap is 240.5M)
