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

Viva la Socialism!!!

Good in theory, would never work in practice. People are too greedy.

Jake, easily. Peppers is one of the best at one of the most sought after positions in football. Of course jake plays at the games most important position. But the difference between Jake and Peppers is that even if he took plays off, Julius has never been an average player. Even with 2007 Julius is known as an elite DE and he does deserve it. Most DE's never reach his "slacking" numbers or success playing at their best.

Common misconception. Socialism doesn't work because people are lazy, not because people are greedy.

Actually both. When I am doing a job that is harder or more dangerous then the next guy but we basically are making the same and getting the same benefits it breeds contentment. We do probably have the best governmental structure in the world I firmly believe its the idiots and crooks that run it that have made us into a laughing stock.

But I was referring to his idea about a flatline salary idea when I said people are greedy.

Care to elaborate?

I don't know how I can elaborate any more. It's not like they could hire any of us to do that job. Both of those guys have alot of experience doing a job that not many people are capable of doing.

Also, in contrast to what one user posted, I'd argue no players in the NFL are overpaid. The NFL is a very high profit organization (I think) and the players are a huge reason it's so successful.

The owners are probably overpaid, esp the ones that cut costs in order to make money while not caring about winning games....

You do realize the the owners are the ones who invested their own money....they are the ones that have all of the risk....they are not employees.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
