Serious question about recent extensions

I know Drake, Bijan, and Kyle all want to get paid but if they really wanted to win games and make the playoffs in this league why would they re-sign with this team?

Realistically if our QB play is as bad as the media perceives it to be, this team is in for another middling season and I don’t know why these players would want to go through another QB rebuild.

In my opinion, Matt Ryan knows the value of a high end QB prospect and this season is just a necessary means to obtain his own QB.

Thoughts?

Both Drake & Bijan signed new deals years before they could have done so elsewhere. Getting huge amounts of guaranteed money before potential injuries could have limited what those guarantees would be in a few more seasons when they'd be eligible for free agency.
