I was just reading on nationalfootballpost.com yesterday that rookie contracts are structured so that the biggest cap hit comes in the 2nd & 3rd seasons, so that salary for Dorsey & Albert should drop pretty significantly over the next season or two. Of course, Tyson Jackson’s will hit too.
Thanks for posting this, I was wondering when the salaries would be out.
omg jmcgoblue….your stalking me lol!
I was curious about the salaries too. It’s amazing the money these guys make.
to me its just wild how our better players are the underpaid guys compared to others…
the way charles has played on O and ST, the guy should be…along with flowers as top earners…too bad they arent paid based on each year’s performance.
SDChief – now thats a novel idea pay for actual value…Bet the owners would love the idea. Than you wouldn`t be paying a lazy TURD like LJ or Jamarcus Russel for doing nothing….
ok great points everyone but ask yourself this? is anything these guys do REALLY worth 15 mil or 10 mil for a season? now they are great amazing athletes that perform on a level uncharacteristic to those of normal people but ponder this? instead of having a GD BLACKOUT mention the first since December 16, 1990 when our players make 15 million in a season and we have amongst the worst teams in NFL and Franchise history why not make a special on the tickets or do free parking to enthuase the few true still chiefs fans into actually WANTING to go to Arrowhead on home sundays instead of a “well i have season tickets anyways” mentality ? suggestions or comments proudly taken …..jason.jeclean@hotmail.com
YEP ! Imagine that, getting paid for what you’re worth… Wait !! Isn’t that the R E A LLLL world??
