I don't understand why people keep comparing Brown and Bushrod. Yes, we won the Super Bowl with Bushrod. No, it doesn't make him a good player.

Back to the payroll.
Overpaid: Reggie Bush (highest paid RB in the league)
Bobby McCray, Randall Gay, and Scott Shanle
Underpaid: Darren Sharper (should get a long term deal but what the hell does he have to do get a decent salary)
Jahri Evans, Carl Nicks, Pierre Thomas, Jammal Brown, Tracy Porter

If anyone gets traded it should be Bushrod.
Sign John Henderson.
Sign Ciron Black.
NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. When We need to score he is on the Bench. Role Player at best. Dude got beat out by an undrafted Free Agent. Piere should have his contract

I'd go for that!

Re: Let's look at payroll shall we?

The answer is:

Overpaid
Reginald Bush - $7,089,940 Total Compensation
$12,089,940 Cap Hit

This may be our last season with young Reginald as he is set to make about $9,000,000 and $11,000,000 in 2011.

Underpaid
We have a tie!

Carl Nicks - $389,810 Total Compensation
$429,060 Cap Hit

Pierre Thomas - $465,590 Total Compensation
$467,258 Cap Hit

By the way, these two gentlemen are good examples of why we aren't going to overpay Sharper or trade for Albert Haynesworth. Loomis' bill is coming due on guys lilke Thomas, Nicks, Evans, & Brees.

Just for fun these are Drew's figures:

Base Salary: $4,487,500
Sign Bonus: $5,001,000
Other Bonus: $3,501,000
Total Comp : $12,989,500
Cap Hit: $10,660,400

Drew accounts for about 10% of our total cap and payroll last year. Probably underpaid still, but at $13MM I can't cry too hard for him.

Because I care about the economics of the game. If you don't then go create a thread called, WOO HOO WE WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!

The NFL is about money. Championship teams fail to repeat in a lot of cases because individuals are unsatisfied with the money they are making and stop working as hard. Go enjoy your Superbowl and I'll be looking into the future.

I'm considering a holdout. I'm concerned with how this might affect how others view my ethic, but I've got to feed my kids man. How do you see this working out. I need some kwan...

I don't know your 40 time but I'd advise you to show up for camp and voluntary workouts.

Re: Let's look at payroll shall we?

the way everyone's carring on about money are we crumbling as a champion and prior champions. i say no the freeagents and draft choices we are bringing in are going to make our guys stay up for the challenge.i believe were just a few pieces away form repeaters.
