Gonzo got the money. Hopefully he can now afford to do something about his tattoos and that big nose.

6th-Megatron-about right
7th-Rodgers-bargain
8th-Cutler- bad
9th-Romo :hilarious bad
10th-Larry Fitzgerald- bad.
rediculous money for a player who is still only potential, i think the money these guys get is obscene IMO, id love to know just how much your average NFL franchise makes annually when you factor in the wage cap for players stands at $120m or so, the TV deal must be stonking, cos theres no way bums on seats generates the money needed to service these huge wages.Quote:

Richard Sherman is the Madden cover. Thankfully Megatron broke the curse with his record breaking effort last season!
Drew didnt suffer from the curse either a few years back.Quote:

Season Ticket waiting lists are decades long, isn't Green Bays waiting list around 150 years or something?!!!! Having said all that, I absolutely adore the whole bloody thing!!
So lads... when's our draft? :cb
Going to be a funny year this!
I'm really busy at work at the moment, looking at starting it around the first game of the season with the usual guess the attendance competition for draft places?Quote:

If last year was anything to go by, theres no advantage to get an early pick. Its possibly better to get the last pick, followed by the first pick in round 2. If you get the 1st pick you have to wait all the way till 24th, when most of the marquee players are gone.Quote:

You just couldnt make up what goes on with the Browns.
Jimmy Graham signed on for another 4 years. 40 million 21 guaranteed. Delighted with that
:agree: when you look at what a lot of players got this summer he's a bargain. I really like the look of the Saints this year on both sides of the line.Quote:
