If I read that correctly he will get 120 MILLION up front ... I can’t fathom the monies awarded in some of these contracts and HOW they are able to recoup it? I grew up with the NFL since the 70’s and I no longer follow any of it....priced out regular families from ever going to a game and the jumping into social issues has just soured me. Another faction of society that forgot where they came from , sad.

Same here. Couldn’t care about any of the pro sports.

If a CEO gets paid 20 million a year to run a massive corporation that is considered to be horrible.

If a guy gets paid 50 million a year to play with a ball that is just fine.

We paid for a new stadium for the Minnesota Twins. We can’t watch a game on tv unless we pay for a streaming service.

Screw em.
