4HCrew Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 and those count for how many super bowl rings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I dunno if it's ever worth paying LBs a lot. I don't think NE pays their LBs much at all. It's much harder and worth a lot more to pay your DL and make sure they're beasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more true for the 4-3 then it is for the 3-4, in this scheme the LBs are supposed to be the studs making all the tackles and sacks, while for the most part the DL should be tying up blockers.

4HCrew Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 may not be so bad to pay them as long as their play matches their salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 For those interested in checking it out, here is a site that lists all major league sports players and their salaries. It's a database-very convenient to look up. For football, you can get a list of salaries by position, such as LB, from highest to lowest. http://content.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/salaries/default.aspx?Loc=Vanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, there is no way the Bears gave Brian Urlacher a $13M signing bonus in 2007 only to have him threaten to hold out for 2008. They listed his $13M signing bonus twice, in both 2003 and 2007. The site that really has a lot of stuff down pat is rotoworld. I don't recall finding any errors with any of their player contract info. They even get pretty detailed in many cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE runs the 3-4. So do the Chargers. I'm not sure what the salaries are, but if we are paying our guys more than they are, doesn't that worry you?

I'm not saying they are, I can't be sure until the season starts, but if they are better then I don't mind paying them more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
