Did Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson deserve more guaranteed money on their contracts?

The NFLPA’s collusion grievance as applied to the structure of NFL QBs, much in terms of guaranteed money, has resulted in a 61-page ruling from an arbiter.

The three QBs whom the grievance focused on primarily were:

  • Lamar Jackson
  • Kyler Murray
  • Russell Wilson

Here are the contracts (years, total salary, guaranteed money) in question:

  • Jackson (BAL) —-> 5-years—-$260M—-$185Mg
  • Murray (ARI) —-> 5-years—-$230M—-$160Mg
  • Wilson (DEN) —-> 5-years—-$245M—-$165Mg

The similarity of the contracts would appear to follow a common structure.
