KevinMcD Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 It's probably a typo, but I doubt Richard Seymour is making $24MNope, not a typo at all.According to USA today, New England Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour earned the most money during the 2006 season of any NFL player, but his reign at the top will be short.Seymour, who signed a contract extension that included about $24 million in bonuses, socked away nearly $24.7 million for the past year's work, according to USA TODAY's annual survey of player compensation. But for 2007 he has a base salary of $600,000 and will drop down the list after his moonshot payday.Why waste $24M on Seymour, when Tank Johnson is so much cheaper. These things boggle the mind. Wow, my bad.In the NFL they spread out bonuses right? So the cap hit for Seymour will be less, correct? But still that is huge overpayment.
