I am waiting to hear how NE does not pay its players.for the money miniesota throw at the OL you would think the RB would have 2000yrds.

Couple of points
1)This is a salary info meaning when peyton signed with 34.5 million signing bonus his numbers for 2004 was like 45 million in salary alone.
2)Peyton for this year is 31st with 10 million.

The Vikings pay a lot but they do make up the best left side tandem of any oline in the league. Seeing Seymour at the top kind of suprised me. I thought it would've been a qb. Also suprised Manning isn't on there.

Do you have a link?

Agreed about the NE statement.

Also, Jeff Backus?
How does Reggie Wayne make more than both Peyton and Harrison?

Oh yeah, and do you have a link:?

Thought the exact same thing Smoke. If this is true....Boy, what a deal the Colts made in getting Peyton. Seymour, Backus, McKinnie, and Abraham are all grossly overpaid IMO.

Here's a link to an old thread. It has the 50 highest paid athletes. From various sports though. It has a few NFL players and tells their football salaries and endorsment earnings.
