  Can't believe that these contracts continue to grow by so much...just 3 years ago Alex Smith signed a record $50 million deal and he's a complete bust

  STUPID STUPID STUPID!! I can not believe that a rookie has the audacity to ask for that kind of money!! Or should I say that a organization is willing to pay that kind of money. They should make a new rule, if the guy is a bust he must return half of the money!

  Well, that'a lot of money to pay a QB who hasn't played a snap in the NFL. Several posts on here about paying players money up front that they haven't earned. This is one of them. Well, I guess Michael Vick can forget about coming back to ATL. That love affair is certainly over now. Wow.......can I just get a $10M dollar contract for doing nothing?

  chris long is howie long's son, chris is a DE who was drafted by the Rams. Jake Long, the first pick, is not related to Howie.

  Not deserved and ill even go as far as to say he will be a bust. Book it.

  Personally, I think he was the best pro-style QB in the draft with an accurate arm. I wouldn't sell him short just yet, but the money is still way out of bounds for a new player.

  He looks very very happy. Is there a stipulation in the contract labeled "refund"?

    They should start putting that refund stipulation in there.
