Ravens Ring of Honor
Would change it considerably.
Main reason why teams love like 5-6 year deals for franchise QBs is that they can back load the cap hits because a) the cap keeps increasing and b) once the cap hit gets large, they'll just do another extension to reduce it. Once you've got a franchise QB, you can basically play that game for like 10-15 years, and the only time you'll really be close to "cap hell" is at the very end of their career, and then its only one year.
With fully GTD contracts, and with shorter periods, there's far less cap maneuverability. Basically every year when you hear a team "converts salary to bonus to create cap space" for a high end QB, you won't hear that anymore, because its pointless. The only way to create significant cap space on a player with like a 2-3 year deal is to either cut them or extend them. Cutting isn't an option when the contract is fully GTD, so basically it'll just turn into a potential like 1-2 year contract renegotiation over and over and over again until one party says they're done with the other.
As an example:
Contract 1: Lamar signs a 3 year, $150M, fully GTD contract
Contract 2: Lamar signs a 6 year, $300M contract, with $150M guaranteed.
Player would likely prefer Contract 1. Team would prefer Contract 2 by a gigantic margin. Total money is greater in deal 2 and GTD money is the same for the player, but contract 2 offers a TON more cap flexibility for the franchise.
ass ratio with no context.
