Calvin Johnson's contract effects Drew's contract about as much as my salary effects yours.

Funny, they were just discussing how his contract affects Drew's negotiations on NFL network, AND WWL.

Then I suppose you are right, since WWL and NFL Network are correct about everything and never use weak excuses to bring up popular stories.

And message board posters are always right

Ohh, and yet another one to add to the mix...

@JeffDuncanTP Brees reportedly asking for $23M per year in first three years. Saints reportedly have offered $18M. CJ deal gives Brees camp more leverage.

Over it! That kind of salary is wrong in so many ways. I think they have gone from stupid to insane with regards to players salaries. We are, IMHO, witnessing the ultimate demise of pro football, this is the beginning of the end. Maybe i am too old school for today's game. Whatever happened to playing for the love of the game. Remembering the days when Johnny U and all other players had off-season jobs just to survive. What makes things worse is most players today cannot manage their "wealth". It is stupid, ridiculous and absolutely f...ing insane. Our priorties in the US are so screwed up . . . see how many of these so called superstars will defend you if America is invaded and our troops, who we owe our way of life to, can barely make it on their wages, or our first responders. I could continue for a while on this rant but it is pointless when we place more importance in a football player than others that are more critical to our daily lives. It is not just the NFL, it is NBA, MLB, PGA, NASCAR and all other over-priced assinine "entertainers" as well. I for one am over it!
