So, I saw this article on foxsports;
<a class="postlink" href="http://msn.foxsports.com/lacesout/infographic-aaron-rodgers-tops-qb-salary-list/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://msn.foxsports.com/lacesout/infog ... lary-list/</a>
There’s inflation and then there is what is going on in the NFL: a financial frenzy.
Aaron Rodgers’ contract extension with the Green Bay Packers on Friday got us to thinking about the sweet rides some of the top paid quarterbacks will be enjoying with their deals.
Rodgers tops the scale at $22,000,000 per. That pushes him past Joe Flacco of the Baltimore Ravens, who was atop the list for a New York minute.
As for Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger, they are nowhere near the top of their craft – financially. Brady and Roethlisberger combine for the 7-11 exacta on our list.

So you need an elite QB to be a consistent winner. But, how does that huge salary impact your ability to fill the roster?
and...
What is Matt Ryan worth?
Matthew Stafford?
When do we try to extend Sam Bradford to get the most reasonable salary and where does his salary fall on this list long term?
I am guessing Sammy will probably be in the $18-$20M range and it could be higher if we make a serious playoff run.
