Matt Ryan's salary seems high. That could very well have been an 0/16 team without him, I'll grant. But considering the team's success since 2013, making him the second highest paid QB seems a bit much.

Rodgers and Brees are the only two elite QBs that are paid as such. Peyton's contract obviously took a hit because of questions about his injuries, but considering that its SPC is ranked between Kaepernick's and Cutler's, I'd say he's criminally underpaid. And it's clear that Brady's deal is team friendly, because a 9.5% SPC for an all time great is just wrong. I'm guessing he took that deal because there's less pressure on him to be the breadwinner in his household, as ridiculous as that sounds. But there's no doubt that it gives the Pats a competitive advantage
