Quarterback contracts have evolved in recent years. Will this evolution ever spark something of a revolution? jeffphowe explores the likelihood of a new frontier: Could QBs ever get percentage of salary cap? Execs weigh in.

have all since signed huge deals, but their guaranteed money was between 66-81 percent of their contracts.“Clubs don’t like setting precedents,” the agent said. “They don’t want to do something unique and out of the box. Some do, but most don’t. I think it’s a very tough sell to go there, even though I think it gives them the best of all worlds. You’re not going to cut your quarterback, so it allows you to keep him under contract without him complaining, honestly.

Still, such an outcome would require a perfect chain of events. It’d take a quarterback at the top of his game who would be willing to play through two franchise tags in order to hit free agency with the ability to call his shots in negotiations. It’d also require, by the executives’ opinions, a cash-rich owner in dire need of an upgrade at quarterback.

“Any precedent in any contract, owners and GMs generally want to stay away from it,” the first executive said.Even though there are a host of factors why a cap-percentage deal hasn’t happened or why it may not even be the best way for a quarterback to maximize his earning power, there’s a reason why the idea continues to come up. The cap keeps rising disproportionately, and that’s expected to keep happening.
