Teams cntinue to throw huge amounts of money at players. The dollars are getting out of sight. The pats continue to act in a reasobale way in comparison to others.
The Detroit Lions decided to extend the contract of WR Calvin Johnson a.k.a "Megatron" by giving him the biggest contract in the league's history. He got seven years for $132 million, with $60 million guaranteed. This must have gone over well in Motown where the city is on the doorstep of financial disaster.
The size of the contracts are a buy-product of the salary cap. Teams need to spend a minimum. there is no incentive to spend wisely.
The contract to Johnson will skew the amount given to Wes Welker in terms of the salary, bonus and length. The Pats will probably hit an impasse and end up paying him the franchise tag for one year.
I have no issue with huge contracts as long as the player is worth it. Some of the amounts are absurd. The players will never see the end to their contract in many cases.
