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.

      Ticket Prices

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
