Will Trevor get a big contract when his rookie deal ends

Wonder if he needs a couple of years of strong playoff runs to get QB1 kind of money when current deal expires.

You would think so, but look at the deal that Justin Herbert got, based mostly

on flashes of potential. I believe if Trevor continues to progress at a steady pace, and cut down on some poor decisions, he gets that kind of money.
Let's not forget, he has had to overcome the REGRESSION that happened in that abomination of a season under Urban Meyer. I can't overemphasize this, I truly believe that Doug Peterson has saved Trevor's career. I don't know if any other coach could have come in and turned things around as quickly as he did.
I think what he did, and most pundits seem to agree, is to say to Trevor, "OK, THIS season coming up is your rookie season. Forget all that mess that went on around here last year, you are now going to play pro football for the first time." And, as ETN has joked more than once, if HE had to miss a whole year, he sure picked the best one imaginable to miss.
I will give Urban Meyer credit for one thing, and that was, drafting both Trevor and ETN. He knew that they could continue to complement each other on the field, and that their familiarity with each other would make the transition to pro football easier for both of them. Butt, that's about where Urbane ran out of plan.

He will. It's just how the NFL works. Look at Daniel Jones. I know a lot of people have some hate for Tom Brady but I hope one of these guys follows his lead from his Patriots days. The Patriots never had a lot of high end contract guys but they had some of the best depth in the NFL at almost every position. You can't do that on a roster with a giant contract strapped around the neck of the franchise.
I'm an Atlanta fan. I love Matt Ryan. Easily my favorite Falcon of all time. When the Falcons got handcuffed by his deal, especially once it got paired with Julio's extension, they struggled to build a roster with any depth and it killed their roster building. Kansas City has been dancing around the same issue with Mahomes. They had a lot of rookie deal guys over performing. The core of that offense has been Mahomes and Kelce. They haven't been able to build any quality depth and this year it is killing them. Well, that and not playing Justyn Ross early but I'm biased there.
I hope Trevor picks up the phone and asks Brady if the championships were worth taking less money all those years. I hope everybody gets every cent but I'd rather win. At some point, what is the difference between 30 and 50 million as far as lifestyle and comfort? I'll never know but it doesn't seem like a lot.

Yep....probably the highest in NFL history. Over 500 million.

I think he already has a "big contract" but that's just an opinion.

Brady played the long game well. The extended career kept the lower dollar contract money coming in plus hall of fame status will generate non-football income in the multi millions for decades to come. Trevor would be smart to consider that option. Playing behind a depth starved Oline can lead to an injury shortened career. Thus far Trevor has been relatively healthy (as compared to someone like Tua).

He will benefit from a dismal collection of current QBs. There are only 3 top tier QB's playing now and the gap to the rest of the league is staggering. I regret that QBs are quickly becoming high prices RBs (this is why RBs are getting paid less). Their careers will end much quicker with the additional number of hits they're taking.
