Biggest take away from this list....
NBA players are significantly overpaid.  Many of which are meh talents, particularly from a historical perspective.
Not hating, good for them getting what they can but some of those salaries are eye opening.


NBA and MLB is where the money is at. Structured that way. Ryan Howard made the list at #51 and doesn't even have a job. Lots of mitigating factors though. Both have long seasons also.

Where are they coming up with that $23.2M figure for Kalil?

For this season per his contract, he has a $1M base salary, a $2.4M signing bonus, and a $600k roster bonus totaling $4M. Even if you give him credit for the full $12M signing bonus that he received at the time of signing, that's still "only" coming up to $13.6M.

Gotta be factoring in the total guaranteed portion of the contract which is somewhere close to $25M but not sure on exact number. Some that ~25M is a conditional guarantee so it wouldn't be the full amount.  So, guaranteed money along with salary and bonus would be close to number they came up with.

Might be. If that's the case, that's a really poor way to come up with a list of highest paid athletes because it's going to be heavily biased towards guys who just recently signed a new contract.

That's how much they made last year total.  Ibrahimovic is unemployed with a torn ACL in 2017.  He makes nothing.

That can't be right. Kalil made a shade over $11M last year.

It's salaries plus promo deals and everything else... including income from own run companies for some.  It's a stupid  estimate.

Not many offensive linemen have much in the way of promotional income. They're figuring in $75k for him on that.

I agree it's a stupid estimate, I'm just struggling to figure out where they came up with that figure for Kalil. I think shulasmyhero probably came up with the best guesstimate for their guesstimate.

It's pretty easy to figure out why NBA players make a poo ton of money.

NBA = 13 players x 30 teams = 390  

NFL = 53 players x 32 teams = 1696

NBA = 82 regular season games

NFL = 16 regular season games

Same thing holds true for baseball.

MLB = 40 players x 30 teams = 1200, but... 162 regular season games

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
