    That example if pure PR. Why didn't they use your much more realistic and understandable example of $2.0M, $1.2M and $800K? Because you might actually feel for that guy, but no one is upset if a guy gets paid $80M instead of $90M.

    It's even more unrealistic when you consider that with the new rookie wage scale, even the #1 pick gets nowhere near the $40M over three years they describe! Cam Newton got 4yr/22M, under 8M/yr while the example is for 13M/yr lol
