[QUOTE="TJV, post: 557716, member: 4300"] I don’t know how many “very, very” few is but the following players already have or are very likely to be able to bank $5M by the end of their careers: Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, Tramon Williams, Josh Sitton, AJ Hawk, Morgan Burnett, Jordy Nelson, BJ Raji, Julius Peppers, Jermichael Finley, Sam Shields and Matt Flynn. [B]TJ Lang[/B] received about $1.68M from ’09 through 2011 and then signed a $22M deal through 2016. [B]Bryan Bulaga[/B]‘s rookie deal is worth $12.2M plus and is a UFA after this season. [B]Mike Neal[/B] just signed a 2 year, $8M contract. His rookie contract was worth $2.95M and he’s about to turn 27. I couldn’t find the terms of [B]Mason Crosby[/B]’s rookie deal but after 4 years of receiving it he signed a 5-year $14.75M contract in 2011. He agreed to restructure last season’s compensation but I believe he achieved the incentives to regain the comp from his 2011 deal. And the last two years of his deal weren’t changed. Even a player like [B]Brad Jones[/B] has a chance to amass $5M in savings. Jones' four-year contract as a seventh-round draft choice in 2009 averaged $452,564. That’s about $1.8M. Last spring he signed a deal paying him a $3M bonus + $1.5M in salary, roster and workout bonuses. That’s $6.3M. If he makes the team this season his total compensation will be about $3M. That’s $9.3M and if he plays out the last year of his contract in 2015 his total compensation with the Packers would be a little more than $13M.

Of course there are payments to agents and living expenses for all these players and even if all 17 players listed don’t have the chance to save $5M, all but a couple certainly do.
