Larry Johnson just signed a 5 year deal with $19M in guaranteed money. (The contract is like 5 years, 43.5M...but the guarantee is what really matters)

Ladainian Tomlinson got $21M in guarantees with his contract. He'll go down as probably the best back to ever play the game.

When JaMarcus Russel finally signs with the Raiders, his guaranteed money will be over $30M, and he's never played a snap in the NFL.

This is what's fucked up about the NFL. Two of the greatest players in the league get only 2/3 of the money as the first draft pick. (and if you say it's just cause he's a QB, Joe Thomas the 3rd pick got more guaranteed money than either Tomlinson or Johnson)

They should have a rookie pool like they do in the NBA. You get paid a certain amount based on what slot you were drafted, then after you prove yourself for 4 years you can get the megabucks.
