Are subpar NFL quarterbacks overpaid?

The 2023 Free Agency season officially kicked off March 15 for the National Football League (NFL) and it has been crazy to say the least. With fresh faces in new places and new contracts being signed, some quarterbacks are earning a little more than they should, raising the concern of the quarterback market being in trouble.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones signed a four-year $160 million contract extension, which includes $82 million fully guaranteed, according to CBS; he has an annual salary of $40 million dollars making him the seventh highest paid quarterback.

No offense to any Giants fans, but Jones is not worth $40 million.
