Eli goes from $9.6M in 2012 to $20.85M in 2013 against cap

[Buddy333]

Don't get me wrong, he does need to play better. But to say he needs to play better this season because of his inflated CAP hit really doesn't make sense. His contract, in the aggregate, is what it is. Very few of us pissed and moaned when he and Reese signed the deal.

It is fair to say though. He himself said he is a top 5 QB and he wanted to be paid like one at the time of his signing. He restructured and he knew what he would be making this next year. He absolutely has to play better and yes it's also because if what he will be making.

He didn't initiate the restructure, the team did. Over 7 years he gets $107M. It's really immaterial when he gets it. He also gets $500K a year as a work out bonus. We've already learned he's "weak."

Wow, I'm honestly impressed, only three bona fide morons after 200 posts. I didn't add in the 2 posters whose comments were so ridiculous I assumed they were joking. It's like almost everyone around here took intelligence pills or something.

Someone should have shared theirs with the denver secondary, they'd still be playing ball.......

Lol. Yeah, but it didn't hurt him to do it either. How ever it happened, they need him to be very good next year.

The real question is who are those three? LOL!

[ShakeandBake]

Exactly.

I just started reading this thread and rather than reply to individuals I figured I'd just start counting the idiots who do not understand the market until I get to the end.

Hope you have a calculator handy, and a lot of free time

I only handle the sarcasm around here. You'll need to cll Obviousman for that....although it shouldn't be too tough to figure out.

I agree he needs to play better, he agrees he needs to play better. ALMOST every body else agrees he needs to play better. He makes an obscene amount of money but that's the price of admission.

Him playing better and healthy players should do wonders for this team.

I would certainly hope so
