It's how it works, yeah. Doesn't mean it's wise, though because the teams that make or win the SB are more often those with a "bargain" at QB.

Eagles - $15M combined on Wentz and Foles. Wentz gets them there as a high draft pick.

Patriots - Brady is paid under market value.

Seahawks - Russell Wilson was on his rookie deal when they won.

Ravens - Flacco was on his rookie deal at the time.

What you never see is middle of the road QBs paid top dollar taking their teams to the SB.
