History

Historical Context

In 2004 the Indianapolis Colts drafted Peyton Manning first overall, beginning a quarterback era that would influence contract expectations. That draft also produced three long-term starters—Manning, Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger—highlighting the league’s move toward premium QB deals. The pattern persisted in 2023 when the Philadelphia Eagles granted Jalen Hurts a five-year extension, underscoring the lasting impact of those early contracts.
