Brewers Name Craig Counsell As Manager - RealGM Wiretap The Milwaukee Brewers have hired Craig Counsell as their manager less than a day after firing Ron Roenicke. Counsell http://www.nhlcanadienshockeystore.com/ken-dryden-jersey/ , a 44-year-old Milwaukee-area native, spent the final five seasons of his 16-year Major League career with the Brewers. "It's an honor, and it's humbling, but I feel like this is what I was meant to do," Counsell said. "I think I'll be better at this than I was at playing." Counsell was given a contract through the 2017 season. "He played the game with a chip on his shoulder and he played the game to win," Doug Melvin said during a news conference. "He has a real edge for preparation." 锘? In this article we address the question, why do NFL players get paid millions of dollars per year? To answer this question, you need to understand the concepts of revenue stream within the NFL, and the term "salary cap". The salary cap is the amount of money an NFL team can spend on salaries for their players per year. The salary cap, imposed by the NFL commission, has progressively increased year by year since its inception back in 1994. In essence the NFL salary cap, as negotiated by the players Union in the current collective bargaining agreement, is 62.24% of all football related revenue divided by 32 teams. For the 2009 season that figure is 128 million dollars. This means that each team has 128 million dollars it can spend on player salaries per year. But http://www.nhlcanadienshockeystore.com/jean-beliveau-jersey/ , as indicated by the data shown below, this salary cap continues to grow from year to year. Revenue mainly comes from ticket sales. The following shows the steady increase in salary cap since 1999: Salary Cap Per Team for NFL Player Salaries by Year 2008 $116 million 2007 $109 million 2006 $102 million 2005 $85.5 million 2004 $80.5 million 2003 $75 million 2002 $71 million 2001 $67.5 million 2000 $62.2 million 1999 $58.4 million As the salary cap increases, so does the salary of players. The real question is how is the money distributed to players. There is a type of salary distribution model that teams use which is not known to the general public. Lets look at a list of the highest paid NFL players for 2008. The following table tells it all: TOP 20 HIGHEST PAID PLAYERS IN 2008 1. QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh $ 27,701,920 2. DE Jared Allen, Minnesota $ 21,119,256 3. WR Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona $ 17,103,480 4. QB JaMarcus Russell, Oakland $ 16 http://www.nhlcanadienshockeystore.com/jacques-plante-jersey/ ,872,400 5. RB Michael Turner, Atlanta $ 16,003,840 6. G Chris Snee, N.Y. Giants $ 14,890,000 7. CB Asante Samuel, Philadelphia $ 14,145,000 8. WR Randy Moss, New England $ 14,006 http://www.nhlcanadienshockeystore.com/howie-morenz-jersey/ ,720 9. T Flozell Adams, Dallas $ 14,005,760 10 .DT Tommy Kelly, Oakland $ 13,978,480 11. WR Terrell Owens, Dallas $ 13,731,560 12. WR Bernard Berrian, Minnesota $ 13,705,000 13. T Michael Roos http://www.nhlcanadienshockeystore.com/henri-richard-jersey/ , Tennessee $ 13,505,520 14. C Jeff Faine, Tampa Bay $ 13,105,760 15. DE Will Smith, New Orleans $ 12,950,000 16. QB Tony Romo, Dallas $ 12,886,600 17. G Travelle Wharton, Carolina $ 12 http://www.nhlcanadienshockeystore.com/guy-lapointe-jersey/ ,850,000 18. DE Antwan Odom, Cincinnati $ 12,800,000 19. CB Terence Newman, Dallas $ 12,611,240 20. RB Marion Barber, Dallas $ 12,522,400 Lets examine the concept of salary in the NFL a little more closely. As previously stated, how teams pay their players and the value they place on them is known by only a few, including the player agent. It is interesting to note that having high salary players does not necessarily mean success to the team. A case in point. One of the most successful NFL teams over the past ten years has been the New England Patriots. Yet only one player from the Patriots is in the top 20 for 2008. That is wide receiver Randy Moss. Yet Oakland http://www.nhlcanadienshockeystore.com/guy-lafleur-jersey/ , over the past ten years, which has two players in the top 20, has not seen the success that the Patriots have had. As a mater of fact, they have not even come close. Also, you can see five players from the Dallas Cowboys in the top 20 list for 2008, yet they have not been in the Super Bowl since 1995 (Super Bowl XXX). It appears that the New England Patriots like to spread their money around to their players, so that one or a few players do not get an enormous salary while the rest of the players make a fraction of that amount. Randy Moss may be an exception to this rule. This team concept of salary distribution that the Patriots employ falls in line with the team concept they have set for their players when it comes to playing football. The Patriot's organization believe that it requires a team effort to win football games, and not the superior effort of only a few players. Maybe that is one of the reasons the Patriots have been so successful over the past ten years. And lets not forget that the Patriots is one of the best managed teams in the NFL. Part of that management is proper salary distribution. Team owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick seem to know what they are doing. In any case, NFL player salaries continue to increase year by year. Today the lowest rookie makes a bare minimum of $285,000.00 (at least for 2007). In terms of all professional sports, the NFL players are the highest paid. This is why so many college players seek to get into the NFL. But it should also be remembered that the average length of a career for a player in the NFL is only 4 years. So obviously a player needs to make all he can during that short career. The question is are the players worth these very high salaries. A persons s. |
