Is it true Michael Vick was the highest payed player in the NFL?
I read in Sports Illustrated he was the highest played player ever in the NFL when he signed his 10 year deal with the Falcons. Was he still the highest ever payed player in the NFL before the Bad Newz Kennels arose or has he been passed by someone? If so, who's the highest ever payed player in the NFL's history.
*Highest paid...sorry.
Peyton Manning has a 7 year $100 million contract, but Vick had a 10 year $130 million contract which was worth less per season, but more total.
Tom Brady took less money than he could have gotten (he probably could have gotten $150 million if he wanted it) so that the Patriots would have more cap room (they led the league in cap space last year and won 12 games, than spent their money this year).
No other players really are of high enough caliber to get a contract like that.
