The Facts: Asked by talk-show host Jimmy Fallon this week whether he expects to become the league's highest paid QB with his next deal, Wilson said, "There's a great potential in that. We'll see what happens. ... It's not like it's gonna make me feel bad."

Diehards Line:It seems like a logical progression. As NFL.com notes, over the last two years, the honor of being the highest-paid has been bestowed numerous times upon a series of good-to-great-QB-with-an-expiring contract of the month. From Derek Carr to Matthew Stafford to Jimmy Garoppolo to Kirk Cousins to Matt Ryan to Aaron Rodgers, each All-Pro or Pro Bowl-adjacent signal-caller to sniff free agency has been awarded with a new deal with a total value or average annual value (AAV) that resets the market. As of today, the leader is Rodgers, who signed a four-year, $134 million extension in August 2018, a league-best average of $33.5M per year. Wilson, who has as many Super Bowl titles as Rodgers and one more big-game appearance than the Packers QB, is next in line. The Seahawk quarterback's four-year extension signed in 2015 ($21.9M AAV) is up after the 2019 season, and Wilson is still in his prime. Other notable quarterbacks who are up for new mega-deals soon are Jared Goff, Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes. They'll all certainly benefit from whatever deal Wilson gets (like Wilson will have benefited from those before him);.
