Looks like $100M guaranteed ($50M guaranteed at signing).

Hard to believe not even five years that was the pay for top quarterbacks.

I rem when brees was "greedy" getting his 100 million dollar contract.

Not saying Brees was greedy, but the cap increased, inflation is a thing. Comparing salaries to salaries of years before in this way was always silly.

Just because they show billions in revenue, doesn't mean they are making billions. There's a ton of costs involved.

Dang, the Browns have accumulated so much talent. If they ever learn how to play football, they'll be unstoppable.

Saints vs Browns for the next 4 superbowls!!! I'm for it. Much rather that than vs Chiefs for the next few years.

I remember when the NY Yankees signed Mickey Mantle for the exorbitant salary of $100,000/year.

The year was 1963 and I was 14 years old.

And the rest of the story is... $100,000 in 1963 has the equivalent buying power of approximately $845,000 today, using the CPI as the guide of the rate of inflation for the past 57 years.
