flgreen Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Revis, Sanchez the 'money' players June, 20, 2012 Jun 20 9:59 AM ET By Rich Cimini | ESPNNewYork.com Forbes magazine released its list of the 100 highest-paid athletes in the world, from June 2011 to June 2012, with three players from the Jets landing on the list. Darrelle Revis (22nd overall, seventh among NFL players) • Total earnings: $28.3 million • Salary/winnings: $27 million • Endorsements: $1.3 million Analysis: He received an $18 million option bonus last year as part of the four-year, $46 million contract he signed in 2010. He endorses Nike and Range Rover. In fact, he's the only male athlete in North America used by Range Rover as a pitch man, according to Forbes. Revis wants a new contract so he can make more money and retire a Jet. Mark Sanchez (38th overall, 12th among NFL players) • Total earnings: $24.2 million • Salary/winnings: $23.2 million • Endorsements: $1 million Analysis: He signed a five-year, $45 million contract after being drafted in 2009. He was out of guaranteed money heading into 2012, so the Jets gave him a three-year extension (through 2016) with $20.5 million in guarantees. D'Brickashaw Ferguson (63rd overall, 20th among NFL players) • Total earnings: $20.3 million • Salary/winnings: $20.1 million • Endorsements: $200,000 Analysis: In 2010, Ferguson signed an eight-year, $74 million contract. In February, he restructured his 2012 money to provide cap relief, converting $9 million of his $9.985 million salary into signing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you believe they dare allow a whole 6 other men in the league to be paid more than him? It's blasphemy I tell you. And can you believe the next highest CB is only a mere 63 spots below him on the list? Oh the humanity!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason423 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Didnt Charles Johnson make something like $28 mil last year because of the structure of his contract? $34 million. $30 million signing bonus and $4 million in salary. Really an awful contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The fact that Mark Sanchez is the 38th highest paid anything makes me want to overdose on Unisom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The fact that Mark Sanchez is the 38th highest paid anything makes me want to overdose on Unisom. +1 we are all begrudging Revis his money but at least he performs at an All-World level. the fact that mark sanchez is on this list is robbery. I love Mark but he should be wearing a mask when he gets his paycheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness the accounting system that they are using is counting, for certain players, two seasons worth of money. Because the Jets insanely redid his deal Sanchez ended up with 23.225 million over their june to june accounting. Next year he would only make 3.75 million based on their system. Hes overpaid for what he is but its not as bad as this article makes it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason423 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Jeeeeeeesus. Its wild. Right year to have his monster season but teams should take into account the norms whereas they really just fell in love with the 1 year sack number. In the little thing I did rating effects of sacks and hurries Johnson ranked, adjusted per snap, 14th, 2nd, and 17th among 43 DEs in pressure effectiveness, but I guess they fell in love with the awesome year he had when they gave him the deal. Ill be interested to see how Mario Williams plays out. His last two years in the 43 he was not an elite level player when it came to pressuring the QB but they paid him like the best in the game. They spent alot of money for a pass rush in Buffalo and have to hope the sum of the parts creates something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Mark but he should be wearing a mask when he gets his paycheck. So does that mean if Revis played QB he would make eleventy billion a game? Sounds like it to me. Jason if you could?
