Recently I have been board with recent NFL news, particularly Saint news. So this is my way of finding some sort of topic to look up and write about. I was curious to how much each player was getting paid, in addition to other expenses. I found an interesting pay table for all of the player's salaries for the 2009season. I decided to organize the table in sections.
The first section posted will be on LB. We have all heard Payton and Company state that the salaries are based upon performance and what not. Lets for a second pretend that you are Mickey Loomis. Are these players earning too much? Are they not earning enough? Who would you cut? Would you put more emphasis on performance bonus?
You have $19,505,754 to play with. Base your new contracts on the assumption that all of these contracts have already expired, and new contracts are for one year only. We all know that Scott Fujita is no longer with us. I factored him in because I am going to base his total salary on assumption that the total amount spent on LB will not change. Use the extra three million that was used as you see fit. Call it Saint's fantasy football on crack part one. To see a complete list and the references to information click on the below hyperlink.
