When you consider how much money those players make for their organizations, is it really? How many people have paid for a shirt with 99 and the name Donald sewn on? How many butts go into seats to watch a future hall of gamer play? That's just talking sales, factor in impact during games and is it really too much? The NFL is a multi billion dollar company. They can pay the few player that make them money. Sure, when you compare it to the salary you or I make it seems like a lot, but nobody is watching me file paperwork or give presentations on TV.
