Peppers or Delhomme: Which one is more overpaid?

[AceMan]

Julius Peppers: His 6-year contract to the Bears is worth $91.5 million with $42 million guaranteed. Peppers will make $40.5 million over the first three years.

Jake Delhomme: We owe him $12.7 million for cutting him. No offset. And now, the Browns have signed him for $7 million making him the highest paid player in the NFL next year.

Discuss.

Delhomme. Peppers can be good when he wants. Im kinda shocked that a player with two bad years under his belt gets that much. Kinda shows you how desperate the Browns are.

[Brokenbad]

Delhomme doesnt deserve to be in the NFL anymore in all honesty.

Jake

I would say Jake. I think peppers will do more to earn his money by posting double digit sacks at least the first year or more.

[Wither]

Jake, but I'm more OK with him getting that money than Peppers.

[jramsey4]

Jake easily. With Peppers at least you have insane potential for all that money. Jake at best is average.

[Panthers128]

Neither is overpaid. They're both classy people who work hard and have a particular skill set that is hard to come by.

First off, MANY nfl players are overpaid. but thats another discussion that I won't get into. to answer this question based on performance alone, Delhomme is ridiculous overpaid.

Care to elaborate?

The only players I consider not overpaid are the UDFA/Late Round picks. I mean in what occupation do the cheapest greeniest people make 300K. I always hear the excuse about short playing career. Well I had a good friend who was a radiologist and he retired by 40 after going to school for 8 years and he didn't make as nearly as much as an average football player. So the only reason they need so much is because pro athletes are usually horrible money mangers.

Every player is overpayed .. i think everybody should make the same amount and if they want more it should be on incentives only by play time / sacks , td passes whatever .. i dont care where you get drafted .. earn it if you want it
