[QUOTE="TJV, post: 617299, member: 4300"] As captainWIMM noted, you completely missed the point. Nowhere in my post was a complaint about Rodgers’ renegotiation. In fact the only thing I wrote remotely relevant to that was I like the idea of top draft picks getting less money so more money is available to vets who earn their renegotiated deals. Rodgers was paid $10.9M in 2014 on a contract that averages about $22M/year. $8,256.86 is .07575% of $10.9M. I think characterizing less than one-tenth of one percent a rounding error is accurate. And your criticism that “there’s 20/20 hindsight in my complaint is funny since that is exactly what the NFL’s performance-based pay is. It looks back at the previous season and with 20/20 hindsight compensates underpaid players. The rest of your post may be relevant with regard to some other argument, but is not relevant with regard to the portion of my post you quoted, or my entire post. Let me try this one more time: The NFL's performance-based pay program is a good idea. Linsley is a great example of a player who deserved such a large sum (as a percentage of his 2014 compensation). Awarding Aaron Rodgers less than one-tenth of one percent makes no sense because: (1) If you really believe he was underpaid, that paltry amount doesn’t make up for it, and (2) If you believe he wasn’t underpaid, why not forgo those kinds of payments (to Matthews and Sherrod too) which either aren’t significant to the higher paid players, or aren’t deserved to players like Sherrod and add that money to the players who were truly underpaid. BTW, nowhere in the article does it say the team gets to decide how much each player receives. It only says it’s a league program. [/QUOTE]
