Jerry Hughes, C.J. Spiller earn raises
Spiller's base salary will increase to $3.499 million in 2014. He was scheduled to make $1.749 million. With the new salary, his cap hit will increase to just under $6 million, including the prorated portion of his signing bonus.
Hughes , drafted in the same first round by the Indianapolis Colts and acquired via trade last May, earned a jump in salary much larger than Spiller's. Scheduled to make $1.095 million in base salary in 2014, Hughes will now draw $3.995 million in salary - a $2.9 million jump.YardRat Wall of Fame

But 290K for 3 seconds of work is A-OK.
So that's why I say we are collectively insane.Last edited by stuckincincy; 01-18-2014, 08:27 PM.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

Add tix prices...PSLs if applicable. Buy a beer for 8 bucks several times. Shove a $4 weenie pass your lips. Stand up for 3 hours, with a deafening cacophony all around. Suffer from your fellow inmates' invectives, threats, tribalism that rivals the Zulus.

It's kind of crazy for anyone to argue all contracts shouldn't be incentive based or you're forking out money for less results.

Re: Jerry Hughes, C.J. Spiller earn raises
Back in the day my old man used to ***** about how much athletes were paid, and I use to argue otherwise. It was peanuts compared to what they get now, and I find myself thinking the same thing. That little blurb aside, all the capologists can take 4.6mil off the top for those two players.YardRat Wall of Fame

I'm guessing in 25 more years the current generation of kids will be saying the same thing and how they can't believe this top QB just signed for 40-50 million a year and telling their kids that back in his day they only made 17-20 million as a top QB. The cheapest ticket in the NFL will be about $150 by then but nothing will change.
When Bobby Bonilla signed for 5 million a year from the Mets years ago everyone couldn't believe how much it was. Now that's how much a utility player makes and you have the top guys making 20-30 million a year.

Re: Jerry Hughes, C.J. Spiller earn raises
They hit their escalators...........this is why I chuckled when people talk about how much cap space any team has available the following season. Nearly all rookie contracts have escalators built into the final year. Usually only 1st rd picks like Spiller and Hughes have incentives for earlier years of their rookie deal. The escalators are often equal to the amounts associated with RFA tenders.

Originally posted by BillsFever21 View PostAnd probably 20 more years from now the same thing will be said. The salaries keep going up every year. When Kelly first signed with the Bills it was for 5 years, 7.5 million dollars. You can't even get a veteran backup for 1.5 million a year anymore.

You can get the non football fans to vote for you.
Taxpayer money is spent on MANY things people don't care about.
I would wager the vast majority of people in Western NY think that is money well spent.
As far as the rest of the state, they get their fair share spent on them.
How much money does a baseball player get for a strikeout or a home run?
