QB salaries are ridiculous: an historical look at QB ROI

The Seattle Seahawks just handed Russell Wilson the most yearly money of any player in NFL history.

Wilson’s average of $35 million bests the four-year, $134 million deal Aaron Rodgers signed with the Green Bay Packers last August. His total value of $140 million is second to only Atlanta Falcons signal caller Matt Ryan, who signed a five-year deal back in May of 2018.

This got me thinking about the ROI (return on investment) that teams get for these crazy QB contracts (*note: all data for this comes from Spotrac.
