I don't follow any pro sports.   But I have to wonder why a player would be worth so much money.

People buy tickets and watch it on TV.

Understood.

But does one individual produce that much for the team owners?

I guess it depends on how much they think he generates for the team... season tickets, other types of game-day revenues, etc etc.

Give the NFL salary cap, I wonder if Patrick really thought about how much money will be available for other players (like the O line to protect him, receivers that can actually catch his passes, etc etc)

That's a good point.  Many times this happens after a SB win.  The QB gets the huge contract and they can't keep players around that he can win with.  Also, will he now be more vulnerable to injury?  He's a running QB some of the time, so also puts himself at risk.  He's been hurt before albeit not long term. 

Can teams afford this kind of outlay?  I guess the TV, Cable and Merchandising are very lucrative.  With the League and Owners now embracing BLM and all this SJW crap, I am out, so it doesn't matter to me.  -

I’m certain the NFL hasn’t calculated the permanent effect their actions will have on their league. When everyone is standing for the black national anthem, but everyone on the field takes a knee for the Star Spangled Banner, they will have jumped the shark with a large number of people. They will suffer a permanent loss of a large number of people.

They lost me a few years ago.  Now I only watch a few reruns of the Redskins Superbowl games that my Brother In Law was starting center.

I hope you're right.  By embracing the entire hate America, Marxist BLM LIE, they should alienate a good portion of the audience and fan base.  At least you'd think that would be the case.  I guess they're banking on the shift to a PC, Woke, SJW society and audience.  I think they are wrong.
