RG3 to Desean all day! 25 touchdowns this year. Calling it right now, Skins/Steelers Super Bowl will be the best of all time.

Roethlisburger is not raping his way to the Superbowl. Forget about it!

How come Brady is so low on the list?

He has restructured his contracts and pay many times throughout the years to free up money for the team. He did it last year to pay Welker more money. He left anyway though because Belichek was an asshole to him.

I'm surprised the NFL hasn't regulated the contract structure game more than it does. The cap charge doesn't reflect the player's value to the team nor the only thing that anyone really cares about, which is naturally the player's guaranteed money on the contract. I feel like Romo restructures every year now and they're going to have a $50M balloon cap charge at the end of his deal.

You'd think something like a static salary cap would be a lot more simple to manage without the signing bonus tricks, tons of dead money pushed into the future, etc.

Only other solution would be to make all contracts guaranteed, or eliminate guaranteed money all together. No way either side would go for that.

The Cowboys structured Romo's deal so they could restructure it every year to get under the salary cap. That is why they are always under the cap every year when in the offseason they are like 20 million over it. With how the salary cap keep rising, it seems like it is working out well for them. Stephen Jones knows how to work the cap to their advantage.

and not a single QB on the list is worth their number other than Rivers, Rodgers, Manning and Brady. EVen Brees, fuck him he sucks

Yeah Rivers has really paid off with all those rings and playoff wins.

The Bens number is late contract after a few restructurings. It was $5 million less last season. And it goes down a tiny bit next season for it's final year. Though they'll work out an extension next offseason I imagine. Sucks it's such a ridiculous cap hit, but that's the nature of these contracts now.

All three of the 2004 QB's hit UFA in 2016. The Ben won't go anywhere, what about Eli and Laserface Rivers?


edit:Best site I know of for looking up contracts


edit2: Since I know you were all super curious: DHB's Steeler contract is for $730k, with only $65k guaranteed.

Rivers is definitely not the problem with San Diego. He has played fantastic over the years for the most part. I'm a big Chargers fan but they just have not had "it" enough to go all the way to the Superbowl.

Zero rings.

Here's what 2 rings looks like

Here's the sunken chest of 3 rings

Here's the chiseled Adonis-like physique of the only QB to win 4.

Yeah, QB's have absolutely no reason to be all chiseled and shit=P

Also, I now have "terry bradshaw shirtless" in my google search history...
