Sproullie03 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I have an arguement with a friend about T.O. I say he is in the top 10 of the highest paid WRs in the NFL he says otherwise. Can someone give me the top 10 highest paid recievers and what they make if possible. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydogisgomez Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 It depends on if you are talking base salary or total salary to prove who is right. If I remember correctly, the Eagles paid T. O. a low base salary but gave him a huge signing bonus and some easy to reach incentive bonuses so they could be where they wanted to be cap-wise, and he could still make the payday that he wanted. The bonuses counted mainly for last year and when you take those away this year, he has a relatively low base salary. This is why Drew Rosenhaus had him threatening to sit out at the beginning of the year (even though he was the guy that worked the deal). This may not be totally correct, but iI think it's pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 According to the USA Today's NFL 2004 salary database:Terrell Owens:Base Salary: $660,000 Sign Bonus: $2,300,000 Other Bonus: $6,200,700Total Salary: $9,160,700Cap Value: $7,244,033Based on Cap Value, T.O. is 5th (Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, Issac Bruce, Eric Moulds). In terms of Base Salary, he's tied for 46th behind the likes of Corey Bradford, Karl Hankton, Tai Streets, and Dennis Northcutt. When looking at Total Salary, Owens was behind only Harrison.USA Today does a great job of archiving past info, but in terms of 2005 info, I don't know where to find it.
