Lets say hypothetically you could pick one of the above five QB's strings attached obviously but you were guaranteed the one you picked. Taking out the potential cost of all of them in trade/draft, etc but considering where we are as a team, roster, coaching curve and the player themselves. Which would you pick?

Trevor Lawrence - On a rookie deal.

Zach Wilson - On a rookie deal.

Deshaun Watson - with 1 year @16 Mil 2 years @40 Mil, Potential out and then 2 years at 35M~

Russell Wilson - 32, 37, 40M respectively.

Sam Howell - On a rookie deal but in 2022.

The most valuable asset in the NFL is an elite QB on a rookie contract, but if I'm the Jags and Houston calls me and offers Watson for #1 overall straight up I'd struggle to say no. I think Lawrence is going to be a good QB but if the over/under on him is Deshaun Watson I'd feel pretty comfortable taking the under.

IMO I'd choose Zach Wilson! If Wilson had as many opportunities as Lawrence had as games played and games started I believe Wilson would over shadow Lawrence's records! But to get Wilson they would have to move up either #2 NYJ pick or #3 Miami pick. Either pick is going to cost a lot of capital, but not the whole world that it would cost for Watson!

Those aren't the correct cap numbers for Watson. If he's traded the prorated bonus for Watson kicks in (at Houston's expense). This means the Panthers would not pay any part of that. They would, however, be on the hook for any roster bonuses.

That said, he would have the following cap numbers:

2021 - $10,540,000

2022 - $35,000,000

2023 - $37,000,000

2024 - $32,000,000

2025 - $32,000,000

Considering where QB contracts are headed, DW's contract is going to be a real bargain, although I would expect new contract negotiations after 2023.

If you have a chance of getting Zach Wilson you'd have to jump ahead of #4 ATL!

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
