Than again, why should they be paid much more, when they only play 16 times a year, and might only have 5 minutes of actual exertion in a game?
Non-guaranteed contracts must be a real sticking point.

Why other athletes do in other sports really isn't very relevant though. It's simply about the business that they generate.
And yea, non guaranteed contracts is huge, especially in a sport so injury prone as football. I think every athlete in every sport desreves their salaries. So long as tens of thousands of fans will pay $100 bucks for a few hours then of course they are worth it. And besides, I can do what I do for 35 years. They can for about 4.
