eh it was supposedly done as a cap move to try and maneuver peppers into a long term contract.  obviously it didn't work out but the people who were arguing in favor of it at the time (like my dumb ass) tended to take that angle.

At least you can own up to your misgivings. 

I blame it on Kurt Warner because that's what our front office thought Jake was. 

Mistaken identity.

Bradford is the most overpaid player in NFL history.

Also, Flacco just got an extension, something around 3 years 66 million. So yeah, that Cam contract is looking better and better.

I wonder how much Cam lost by not waiting until after the season he wins MVP without a #1 WR to throw to.

I'm counting blessings, that's for sure.

im really excited about this offseason and have a feeling that this team is still on the rise, with a good chunk of unspent salary$ to plug holes with proven players, getting injured players back and having a full draft of BPAs. 

Love this organization!

Flacco's cap number was going to be something like $30MM in 2016... insanity. Should be interesting to see the contract acrobatics they do with him in the coming years.

we're talking probably record breaking guaranteed money and the highest total possible contract value considering incentives and bonuses in NFL history if we had waited until this offseason to extend cam

Happens a lot after Super Bowl wins, unless you have Tom Brady.

According to Sportrac, Cam is #11 in salary rankings. 

Thats not bad considering no one knew he was going to become a league MVP and the guys above him, well most of them, have won Championships and have won league MVP awards. 

I mean Cam has a higher salary than Aaron Rodgers. It's hard to complain about that.

They should be ok. It appears from the reports on the numbers that they have mostly flattened his cap hit numbers for the next 3-4 years to be in the low-mid 20s which while high is nothing insane for a franchise QB and is manageable with the current cap. I imagine it probably spikes up again after that but by then the salary cap is going to be like $200M and they'll be able to cut him without too much dead money at that point so it's not too big of a deal for them.

2yrs $36 million is the going rate for a mediocre QB these days.

[CPF4LIFE]

Amazing how Bradford has robbed the NFL since he has been in the league. Probably will go down as the one mediocre player to make the most money in the league.

[FattyFatFat]

How does this asshat keep getting paid? 

[Jangler]

His sucking abilities must be amazing.

There's a Manziel lesson in here somewhere...

or would be if Manziel was mediocre.

The Eagles have gone on a massive spending spree to re-sign guys from a really bad team. Very reminiscent of Hurney after the 2010 2-14 season.
