Your QB's contract is up after a breakout season: 32 TDs, 8 INTs, and a playoff win. His agent demands $55M a year with $160M guaranteed. What do you do?

His first three seasons were below average, and this was the first year he had a real offensive line and a top receiver. The Giants paid Daniel Jones after one strong season in 2022 and cut him less than two years later. The Bills paid Josh Allen early in 2021, and that deal became a bargain. Waiting tells you more, but the tag isn't cheap, and if he repeats, his price only goes up.

  1. APay him now — give him the 4-year, $55M AAV extension before his price climbs
  2. BFranchise tag him — force him to prove it on a 1-year fully guaranteed deal
  3. COffer a 2-year middle-ground deal — offer $45M AAV to limit long-term cap damage
  4. DTrade him at peak value — cash in for a haul of draft picks
