Agents Take Comparing 2004 draft-class g

, and are inextricably linked because of the 2004 NFL draft. Manning (selected first overall), Rivers (fourth) and Roethlisberger (11th) have all lived up to the billing of their first-round status.The 2004 first round is modern-day gold standard for quarterback stability. All Jake Muzzin Jersey three have spent their entire 15-year NFL careers playing for one team. The chart below summarizes the quarterbacks' respective accomplishments and statistics.Eli ManningPhilip RiversBen RoethlisbergerTeamAge373636Games226205210Completions4,6754,3824,435Pa s attempts7,7606,8076,909Completion %60.2%64.4%64.2%Pa sing yards54,47853,20854,267Yards per attempt7.027.827.85Touchdowns352365352Interceptions234172184Pa ser rating84.195.694.2Record as starter114-110113-89142-65-1Pro Bowls*266Playoff appearances6510Playoff record8-44-513-8Super Bowl record2-00-02-1Super Bowl MVPs200Each signed second lucrative veteran contract extensions in 2015, adding four new years which expire after the 2019 season. Roethlisberger ($21.85 million per year), Manning ($21M) and Rivers ($20,812,500) were the third-, fourth- and fifth-highest-paid players by average yearly salary when the 2015 regular season began. Manning and Rivers were tied for the most overall guarantees in an NFL contract with $65 million.Manning leads in career earnings from NFL player contracts with $214.02 million, according to NFLPA data. Rivers is next with $199.2 million. Roethlisberger has made $189,702,382. These amounts are through the 2018 season and do not include collectively bargained amounts for playoff money or participating in offseason workouts, which is nominal. More on the NFL None of their teams seem to have an obvious succe sor for when the quarterbacks' illustrious careers end. Rivers is backed up by , a 2013 second-round pick by the who didn't pan out. The Giants and Steelers have taken quarterbacks in the last two drafts. , a third-round pick in 2017, was inactive for 15 of 16 games with the Giants as a rookie, but he didn't survive the Giants' preseason roster cutdown. Webb was recently elevated to the Jets' 53-man roster from their practice squad. The Giants opted for running back , who is a leading candidate for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, instead of Manning's replacement with the second-overall pick in a quarterback-heavy 2018 draft. Four quarterbacks (Baker Mayfield-Browns; Sam Darnold-Jets; Josh Allen-Bills; Josh Rosen-Cardinals) were selected in top 10 for the first time since 1949. , a fourth-round pick by the Giants in 2018, is best known thus far for an arrest during a late October traffic incident.Steelers 2017 fourth-round pick Josh Dobbs was rumored to be on the roster bubble after a third-round pick was used on this year. Dobbs, Scott Wedgewood Women Jersey who was inactive for 15 games during his rookie year just like Webb, was kept in favor of six-year veteran as Pittsburgh's No. 2 quarterback. He has three career pa s attempts.Manning' Paul LaDue Kids Jersey s futureManning's situation is a lot more tenuous than Rivers' or Roethlisberger's. His benching seemed inevitable when the Giants had a 1-7 record heading into their bye and were struggling to score points. Head coach Pat Shurmur was noncommittal about Manning remaining in the lineup after the bye before Lauletta's arrest. Lauletta's troubles may have given Manning a reprieve, at least temporarily. Manning has responded by playing his best football of the season during the last two games. He engineered a last-minute game-winning touchdown drive against the 49ers in Week 10. The 38 points put up against the on Sunday are the most for the Giants since scoring 49 versus the in early November 2015. The current two-game winning streak is the Giants' first one in 700 days, dating back to December 2016. The Giants can't yet be counted out of the title chase of a weak NFC East despite a 3-7 record, although that wouldn't be the case in any other division. Getting an extended look at Lauletta at some point to determine whether he could be the quarterback of the future seems likely if and when the Giants are eliminated from playoff contention, regardle s of how Manning is playing.Manning continuing his reversal of fortune could make deciding whether to part ways with him next year more difficult. It was a foregone conclusion that Manning wouldn't complete his contract in New York at the halfway mark of the season. A potential long-term solution at quarterback may not be in 2019's first round. The same caliber of prospect as the 2018 quartet won't be available with the 2019 quarterback Scott Wedgewood Men Jersey cla s. This includes , should he declare for the draft. Complicating matters is Manning can't be dealt to another team in the offseason without his permi sion because he has a no-trade clause in his contract. The , who are discovering that isn't the answer at quarterback after a surprising playoff run to the AFC Championship game last season, have been mentioned most frequently as a potential destination for Manning. Tom Coughlin, who was Manning's head coach in New York for his first twelve NFL seasons, is Jacksonville's executive vice president of football operations. Manning has been unwilling to waive the provision so far. A resolution should come quickly. His $17 million 2019 salary includes a $5 million fifth-day-of-the-league-year roster bonus due next March 17. It wouldn't be a shock if Manning retired rather continue his career with a new team. $17 million of cap room would be gained without Manning on the Giants' roster in 2019.Roethlisberger's futureRoethlisberger had hinted at retirement in previous offseasons, much like Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre did in his latter Alec Martinez Men Jersey years with the . He quickly announced he was returning for 2018 after the Steelers were upset by the Jaguars last season in the AFC divisional playoffs. Roethlisberger took it a step further shortly after Rudolph was drafted when he proclaimed he planned on playing another three to five years.Roethlisberger's play this season hasn't given the Steelers any reason to think otherwise. He is fourth in the NFL with 3,202 pa sing yards. Roethlisberger's 23 touchdown pa ses are tied for the league's fifth most, and he is on pace for career highs of 5,123 pa sing yards and 37 touchdown pa ses.Roethlisberger suggested he was more concerned about winning more Super Bowls than a record-breaking contract during the offseason. He indicated that the contracts of other core players also needed to be addre sed. One such player may not be running back , who is sitting out the season rather than play under a $14.544 million franchise tag. The Steelers have yet to let Roethlisberger play out a contract. Roethlisberger's rookie deal was extended in 2008 with two years remaining. He was entering his contract year when he signed his last extension. Roethlisberger may have an opportunity to put his money where his mouth is in 2019 by following in ' footsteps. There's a good chance Brees could have become the NFL's first $30 million-per-year player on a short-term deal h
