Baker is the type to bet on himself
The only way we get him early is if we pay him like the best QB in the NFL a year earlier imo
He’s not a risk averse dude and honestly nor should he be
Outside of a MVP super bowl year next year, he wont end up with a Mahommes type contract, but if he has a good year next year, he will end up a top 3 contract, i would take a chance and make him Goff or Rodgers type money making him 5th or 6th. That would be 33.5 million a year. Even with Covid, it might be worth it giving him some higher guarantee money, if not, we are steering at #2 money at 40 mill a year, which if i know, he knows, but we have got to give to get, and paying him early and raising the guarantee is our giving.
But if i had to bet, nothing gets done this summer as Baker waits for the even bigger payday.
