The norm? No, because there won't be enough players with the caliber of getting that deal.

I think if the Ravens can, they should try and get Odell to come in when he's ready. I really doubt it will happen, but if you added him to this offense, I believe the offense would be even more lethal. If our defense is routinely going to give up close to or more than 30 points, we gotta score. Imagine having to account for Lamar, Dobbins, Bateman, Andrews, and OBJ. That is probably impossible.
also agree with you that paying QBs 20 to 25% of the cap will become the norm as salaries rise. Also agree, you have to take into account the backup QB or in the Rams case one that has been traded.
total bust
Next year is our year
we'll need to figure out lamar's contract obviously
but outside of ben powers there's no offensive starters slated to be free agents this offseason (albeit i imagine if Cleveland takes a step they may say goodbye to Zeitler) and they'll probably need to find a blocking TE, add another talented WR and continue adding to the RB room
defensively we'll have to figure out what we're doing with MP and we'll have to see how Bowser and Ojabo look to finish the season but we'll have to emphasise the LB corps on this team... Queen's fine but he's not hitting his ceiling, Bynes will be 73 years old (and a free agent) and we're relying on JPP and Houston right now at OLB (and Calais a bit too i guess)
we're either going to be needing to find new vets to add to this room, rely on guys in the room already stepping up or we're going to be a lot older and slower next year
hopefully though, we don't go through an injury armageddon again so the offseason isnt so fraught with questions in the same way this one was
i guess idk whether he fixes the issues we're having right now...
if he does then maybe you make that trade but it's going to cost you a ton in draft picks and salary so you'd better be sure

At this point... call and see what the Bears would want. PQ isn't the guy long term, only issue is he wants a new contract so paying Roqan and Lamar might be tough cap wise.

Cap wise it's impossible.

Correct, Roquan isn't an option based on cap limitations. And that's true short term and long term. We literally can't afford Roquan this year, and it'd be difficult to afford him at market value in future years until Lamar extension gets done.
