No plus if you add up all those contacts minus the Raiders its more than 333 million i believe. Point stands though his agent is the goat. His Raiders deal was 1 year $11.3 million
Sam Bradford comes in second only because he came into the league with a lower salary cap and his knees got shot.
And the playoff system rewards the top team equally. Needs an overhaul.
Also no rookie wage scale so he got paid big
I still believe in a team winning their division deserves a playoff spot—regardless of record. It is what it is. The division should mean something.
I'm sure the offensive output yards will go down but hopefully the defense goes into shut down mode.
I believe in divisions as well but if you're under .500, you shouldn't make the playoffs. I'm sorry, at that point, your team is too ass to warrant it lol
Seems like the NBA system with the top 10 teams in the W / L column getting in would help stop a potential 7-10 team getting in to the playoff because they won a weak division. That can potentially eliminate team(s) with much better records who should be in, but didn't win their division.
I think that's a fair point but some weighting really has to take into account which games were home games, weather, etc... So a team that went 8-9 could still make the playoffs if they had to go to Denver, Philly, Chicago in the winter, etc... where-as a team that played those games at home and also traveled to places like AZ, Tampa in the winter, ATL... would get dinged for their schedule. It doesn't happen all too often that a team with a losing record wins its division. It has only happened 5 times in the SB era. If that happens, they should review it and see if they are 8-9 bad or if their schedule was a murderer's row. If the schedule was favorable and they still had a sub 500 record, I'd be fine with rewarding a better team with the playoff spot. Until they could figure out a format agreeable to the majority of the owners though, leave it alone. Fans of one team will be pissed for a little while but fuck 'em.
