From the episode

Whatever you're paying Trevor Lawrence, Jordan Love, Brock Purdy... It's like, well, shit, sure. It's a little bit more expensive, but I'd way rather just have that guy at a certain point.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Purdy's rising cost makes paying up for his MVP-caliber upside more attractive than cheaper mid-tier alternatives.

The source groups Brock Purdy with Trevor Lawrence and Jordan Love as mid-tier quarterbacks whose draft cost and salary have risen significantly, making the marginal savings of paying for cheaper mid-tier options (10-15 percent savings) less attractive. The source argues that paying slightly more for Purdy-tier quarterbacks is worthwhile because they can win MVP awards and provide substantially more value than lower-tier options, even if they are more environment-dependent than elite quarterbacks.
