[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 767371, member: 9033"] By definition, only one guy can he the highest paid player at his position. The Packers decided that Graham was going to be the guy at tight end with the largest average annual salary. I'm not sure any metric beyond "you gotta overpay somewhat to bring guys to Green Bay" would justify that. Your justification for overpaying seems to be that you have to overpay to get top players, and that's true, but that's also what gets teams into cap problems. Paying a guy the most money at his position with the justification that "others would make more" isn't a great way to sign guys. And regarding QB contracts, actual skill doesn't seem to have much to do with it, seems like all that matters is if a guy is relatively competent (and not political) then they get a massive contract. Doesn't make much sense but hey, Packers have the best so I don't really care. [/QUOTE]
