As a practical matter, I think fully guaranteed contracts for top QBs are now inevitable given the Watson contract and the outsized importance that QBs play in the success of a franchise. If any top QB reached the open market today, he'd almost certainly be able to secure a similar contract. After all, teams were lining up for Watson, warts and all.
I'll admit I'm a bit concerned about this type of contract given Lamar's recent injury history, however, not to mention the trouble some QBs have recently had translating their skills to a new team.
I will say that while it's true $50 million is a huge chunk of the cap, it still leaves the team with nearly $175M to work with. No question it would require some belt-tightening though.
