The majority only make base or slightly above and only stay in the league 3-5 years on average. You also have to count all the practices and off season training not to mention all the abuse they took in college and HS and even pee wee leagues they didn't get paid for. NFL players get chewed up and spit out like race horses. You can only argue that some of them are over paid yes, but most of them will need that salary for all their health problems they will have long after their 3-5 year time.(December 20, 2015 at 4:49 pm)Brian37 Wrote: No no no, yes each quarter is 15 minutes. We are actually talking about total action only, between the start and end of each play, nothing more. When you clock that the actual action is only about 12 minutes.
Ahh OK. I misread the question. So all these players are getting paid millions for 12 minutes of game play total per game? Well, fuck me running. I need their jobs.
The NFL like any other business today, would outsource the work if they could. It is only because of player unions you have the quality of play.
