To add EPIC to EPIC FAIL doesn't do this justice.

Brees, Peyton and Brady are about to jump to the top of this list. Ridiculous that Stafford is even on here.

 

[Gaede]

What a strange world we live in. Brees, Brady and Romo all at the bottom of the list

I believe Brady's numbers are about to change. I bet he won't be down there long.

 

[Arch Stanton]

Brady, Brees and Romo are cheap. Eli's getting just over 1.5 large for each stitch!

 

[Doomsday101]

I tend to look at the overall contract as opposed to the single year of any contract.

Very much in favor of rookie salary cap.

 

[chicago JK]

McNabb is in the last year of his contract right? And so is Kolb right?

I guess it could be conceivable if McNabb resigns in Washington and Kolb impresses this year that Romo could be the lowest paid QB in the NFC East next season.

 

[chicago JK]

And how did Kyle Orton get up there? Former second round pick I believe who has been solid but not much else. What has warranted him to be so high on the salary list?

 

[Hostile]

Guys, the most glaring name on that list is Kyle Orton. How is he making more than Tony, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady? Brees and Brady will pass him by year's end with new contracts, but Tony won't.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The arrivals of Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn were just what Kyle Orton needed to convince the Denver Broncos that he was their answer at quarterback all along.
In a surprising move that threw a wrench into Tebow's designs on taking away Orton's job anytime soon, the Broncos announced Thursday night that they had signed Orton to a contract extension.

A team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Orton's extension is a one-year, $9 million contract, with $5.5 million guaranteed.

Now that is divine intervention right there.

Didn't he just sign a two year extension with Denver yesterday? The fact that it was *just* signed, means it will have more value on it than contracts signed a few years ago. Orton is their started QB and apparently he will be until at least the end of 2011. I suppose he should be making starting QB money.

Matt Cassel for me.

 

[Hostile]

Matt Cassel for me.

Holy crap, I didn't even notice that.

Yeah, you are 100% right.

 

[Bonecrusher#31]

Damn we got a Blue Special with Romo. Do you have a link ?

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

And this is why the NFL will have a rookie wage cap.
