24,000,000 in guaranted money thats more than P. Manning and M Vick in guaranted money. Its crazy what these guys make without ever playing a down in the nfl.

Don't recall what Vick got as a signing bonus but Peyton Manning got $34.5M to sign his deal. So that's guaranteed money right there. Then he has another $12-15M or so guaranteed on top of that. Alex Smith got a really sweet deal but not as much guaranteed money as Manning.

HOW-EVAH - - if what I read about tom Brady's deal is accurate, Brady just signed a deal the guarantees him $24.5M. That'a only 500K more than Alex Smith and Brady has three Super Bowl rings. Talk about playing "at a discount to market value"...
