The worst NFL player ever may not see much playing time, but oh — can he afford gas!
Today’s NFL players are getting paid like none other before them. Via USA Today’s Salaries Database, the average folk like us can see exactly how much money any NFL player made each year from 2000-2007. (They also have salaries for basketball, baseball and hockey).
What strikes me as most alarming is the rate of which the salary cap has risen over just the last seven years. In 2000, the Bears’ total payroll was $56,895,200. Last year, it was a whopping $104,151,969. For those keeping score, that’s close to doubled.
If the salary cap continued its rise at a comparable rate, it would hit nearly $200 million by 2015. That’s more than enough to ensure Ricky Manning will get to continue smoking his Ramon Allones’ and I’ll keep beating myself up over quitting freshmen football.
