NFL Agent Predicts a QB to Sign $100M per Year Contract by 2029-30 Season

One NFL agent believes the league is less than a decade away from a quarterback earning nine figures annually.

"We'll get to $75 million in the next four to five years and $100 million by '29-30," the agent said to The Athletic's Ben Standig. "People can dismiss that idea, but it will happen sooner than later with the way the cap is rising.'

Another agent posited a scenario in which the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes would get $300 million guaranteed over three years as a free agent.

The market is already halfway there, with the Los Angeles Chargers' Justin Herbert, Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson and Philadelphia Eagles' Jalen Hurts all making $50-plus million per season.
