3-time Pro Bowler Patrick Peterson agrees to 5-year, $70 million extension with Cardinals ($48 million guaranteed).


Wow that's a lot of keesh. That's 1-year longer and $14 million more than Richard Sherman just got. Great player though.

But Mo Claiborne is "just as good"

Compared to what they put their bodies through, the long term effects it will have on their body and brain, how much the league and owners generate in revenues compared to the other sports and what those players get paid, you could say they don't get paid enough.

This contract is peanuts compared to what NBA and MLB players get. And theirs are all guaranteed. NFL's is not.

At the end of the day, with a free enterprise market we have, their salary is dictated on their demand. Until people stop watching sports and being consumed by it, they will always be highly paid.
