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.

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.

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.

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.

      Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
