The Biggest Problem with the NFL

[Commissioner]

Sam Bradford:
ZERO completions in the NFL.
ZERO attempts
ZERO touchdown passes
ZERO SUPER BOWL APPEARANCES
ZERO WINS


Tom Brady:
4 Super bowl appearances
3 Super bowl championships
50 touchdowns in 1 season


Sam Bradford who has never thrown a pass in the NFL is now making more money than Tom Brady. If I were Tom Brady... i would tell the Patriots front office, "I want what Sam Bradford is guaranteed ... multiplied by the 3 Super Bowls i won for your ass"...

Isn't it so [explicative] stupid... when you hear that and write it?

a guy that has never played a down in the NFL is now guaranteed $50 million. This happens after a guy like Jamarcus Russell....

Time for the NFL to slot rookies like the NBA does. This is beyond out of control.

Re: The Biggest Problem with the NFL

This I agree with completely. Much better thread, Commish

I have to imagine this will happen in the next CBA.

Brady makes more when you take his endorsements into account, which comes with winning. But yeah it could still bother one's ego (and agent).

Maybe that's why Lebron took less money to play in Miami cause he thinks he'll make it up in endorsements.


I think Brady and Manning should play out their current contracts and then join forces and both sign with Buffalo next year.

Re: The Biggest Problem with the NFL

Rookie cap please.
If he busts thats going to set back the Rams back even more so.

Re: The Biggest Problem with the NFL

When the pats don't sign Brady and the bills get him in the offseason I'm going to feel some big deja vu.

Except... who the [explicative] is Brady's backup this year?

Re: The Biggest Problem with the NFL

The Rookie cap should be priority #1 in the next deal, little doubt.

It's a negative domino effect which would solve several other league financial issues, if corrected.

These contracts handed out to the top guys so far are just insane and will wind up crippling 3-4 teams, long term.

Re: The Biggest Problem with the NFL

I'd be very surprised if the next CBA doesn't have a rookie cap. Look for that concession to be balanced out somehow with increased bennies for current vets (large increase in minimum salary, earlier access to retirement benefits, an un-godly high overall cap, etc). Unions will eat their young, but they'll get something back they consider quid pro quo.
