I was just looking through some salary figures and I was shocked to find out some of the salaries being given out in the NFL. I always thought that the MLB was bad but there are some huge contracts in the NFL to players I have never even heard of (I'll watch the highlights but by no means do I follow the NFL that vigorously). So i just wanted to ask some of you NFL nuts on CP about some of these salaries and how they come about. For example Richard Seymour of the New England Patriots made 24 million dollars in 2006?? How does this happen? I have never even heard of Richard Seymour and he is making considerably more than Tom Brady. Or Bryant Mckinnie of the Vikings making 17 million a season? Once again, never heard of him. So NFL guys, how does this come about?
