Contracts go up in terms of annual payment and overall contract so in reality who cares.
Punters will be making 10M a year eventually.
I remember when Peyton was in the $20M range and people were all 'omg how will the Colts be able to sign anyone?'... Good QB's are what in the 40-50M range now?
Sign the guy and let's try and get a championship run going.
I think salary cap purgatory rarely happens and if it does it's for a year or two, not 10. We see teams every single year supposedly doomed and they somehow figure it out without much harm.
