Jlaw, Travis Hunter, Oluokon, JHA, etc.
And no, I am not "one of those people", which is ironic considering you should know better since I have the QB with the 10 year "kick it down the road" contract.
The point, though, is that he had a giant contract extension, and you don't get those if you're not a franchise QB.
Oh I agree he's a Franchise QB, it's just funny because the dumb narrative on him is that he's trash because people just box score watch.
He makes $17m this season. $24m next year, $35m in 2027. It jumps up to $47m in 2028, with a $7m dead cap hit if they cut him after that season. By time they get to 2028 though, he's either going to be the QB going forward with a new extension, or there will be a new QB in the building.
Hunter hasn't really proven anything (only 7 games into his NFL career, too early) and I definitely wouldn't call him a Franchise player right now. He is special at CB, but they don't play him enough on Defense. He can be a good WR in the NFL, but he's special at CB. But they need to play him there and let him shine.
The other 3, yea you're right, but that's 3 players out of 53.
