I didn’t have to go back very far..this season in 2019 Drew Stanton was on a back up contract Cost=2.78mil plus incentives. That’s not 1, but 2 franchises who spent $ on a capable veteran in contemporary times. That’s just one example, but multiple franchises essentially took that same avenue.<a href="https://fanbuzz.com/nfl/highest-paid-backup-qbs/amp/" target="_blank">https://fanbuzz.com/nfl/highest-paid-backup-qbs/amp/</a>we can’t argue he’s not good enough to go at least .500+ either.  He has a 11-6 Backup QB starting record.This wasn’t luck, far from it. this was one quick example of a deliberate and long thought out calculated risk by both GMs and their staffs.The average price??   Almost exactly 3Mil annual over a 7 year 2 contract span (actually closer to 2.5mil including his full career) That’s what they got at the low end of that scale. A 65% win rate when asked to start. At #9 on that list.. He’s the very first backup QB I clicked on under “top paid backups”.</blockquote>
