The evolution of quarterback contracts

The quarterback position is the most important in all of sports,
and it comes with the trappings that such a designation commands.
Including, of course, money. All 32 teams in the NFL revolve around
their quarterback in a way that is unique among professional
sports. It's not just about how good of a quarterback he is. The
amount and length of his contract is just as important. The way
teams handle that can often help determine who is playing in the
Super Bowl at the end of the season. And, like so many things in
the league, that approach is ever-evolving. Brad Spielberger of
Grand Central Sports Management joins Robert Mays to break down the
evolution of quarterback contracts on this episode of The Money
Down, a four-part miniseries on the business of the NFL presented
