Remember when some people used to argue that football player contracts weren't good deals for the players?
They aren't in comparison to other leagues. You're trying to extrapolate an anecdote of a former star player.
NFL players have the highest top salaries in American sports and they play a sport that has double or triple the number of players overall.
Most of their contracts aren't guaranteed. Russell Wilson won't see all of that money. The only reason he can't be cut immediately is it would screw up their salary cap. Russell Westbrook doesn't have that concern. Ben Simmons doesn't have that concern. Spider Tack Gerrit Cole doesn't have that concern.
Ben Simmons makes $5 million less a year than Wilson if Wilson gets cut at the earliest possible time period. Westbrook is about equal to Wilson if Wilson gets cut but Westbook was a 5 year and Wilson was a 4 year.
For starters, you're using the contracts of elite quarterbacks as proof NFL players aren't getting screwed in comparison to other leagues. That's bullshit. Secondly, if Russell Wilson gets cut tomorrow, he doesn't get all of his guaranteed money. That money isn't fully guaranteed. Being on the roster past certain dates locks it in. Lastly, when Alex Caruso signs a deal with the Bulls, he knows he is going to get the full amount of the contract. When Danny Trevathan signs a deal with the Bears, he knows he probably won't see a dime beyond the first year.
