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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
