I thought this was somewhat interesting:

Whitticker played in 15 games during the 2005 season and started 14 games. He received the largest sum of anyone on the Packers (http://www.kffl.com/team/17/nfl) and one of the biggest amounts of anyone in the NFL (http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl).





just some examples...

WTF? Javon Walker hasn't played the god damn down so how could he even be eligible? And how the hell does Favre any performance money when he clearly stunk up the joint. They aren't getting much but I'd much rather see someone who actually performed on the field get the money. I call :bs:

its mainly for guys like gado that go from street free agents to starting roles... I wonder if its up to the teams of the nflpa to decide who gets how much.
