Do you know that they laid off a couple of their employees due the economy and worst those employees make about 30-40k a year. I will say that knowing about how NFL contracts are structured, He may not get the full 100 million. A lot of time the put the money on the back end knowing that the majority of players never fufill their contracts due to injury etc. Still 41 million guaranteed is alot of money.

I'm a little uncomfortable with "salary caps" in general but understand the "fairness factor" behind them in sports. However....I am also sickened by the amount of money that goes toward salaries. Wouldn't it be wonderful if many of our athletes tithed a percentage of their salary each year toward the "common good"? So then the question goes from thinking what $100 million dollars could do to thinking what $10 million dollars could do! Still a chunk of change!! Anyone heard of specific athletes doing this (off the top...not appearances for charity functions)? In a free market system, people should be paid what the employer can or is at least willing to pay.

In the long run they would build a larger following and a stronger sense of "home" team.
