Staffords Cap hit rank:
2013: 2nd Highest
2014: 10th Highest
2015: 5th Highest
2016: 6th Highest (Subject to change)
2017: 4th Highest (Subject to change)
Cap hit and guaranteed money is what matters. Stafford is one of 2 starters that had guaranteed money over 50%.
Right now teams are putting tons of money in the future predicting future cap numbers going through the roof. So using average salary does not mean much.
The last couple years, this year and the near future, Stafford is being paid as a top 10 QB, top 5 majority of the years. Cap hit is what matters, that cost us other players now.
People are using averages which doesn't make sense. You are comparing contracts signed in 2013 to contracts signed in 2015 that run through 2020. If Stafford is making 15 million a year in 2020, then that is most likely market value for him. But right now he cost this team as a top 5 QB, he is not giving that production.
