Another Off-Season Drought Thread

you're right, manning averages 16mill a year and vick is only 13mill a year average. I forgot it was a 10 year deal.

vick is still overpaid though

definately.

You think hes overrated? Try living in Atlanta. Saying anything bad about Vick is comprable to treason.

But its like you guys said. Why don't players get more endorsement deals. I sware sometimes I think Mannings trying to buy his own country or something (high NFL contract along with endorsements by Visa, Gatorade, and Microsoft). I can understand why a LB or an OL would be out to get as much as they can from their team since they're not nearly as marketable but as far as WR, RB, and QB is concerned, come on, help your team out, get the equivalent of 3 or 4 game checks by shooting a 30 second commercial.

On a side note: Does anyone know if built-in contract incentives count against the cap? I heard somewhere that they don't.

likely to be earned (stuff they did the year before) count in that years cap and unlikely count the year after they're earned... that's what i remember anyways.

brady insisted his oline be in his commercial too so those guys got some extra money...
