"ONLY" $30 guaranteed though.

So he gets paid on the tag this year and hopes someone else will give him a better deal? Fat chance.

Actually, his potential landing destinations are already being discussed for 2019 (should he hit the market) and the early favorites to land him would be Buffalo, Oakland, Houston and (gulp) Cleveland, who will have $100+ million in cap space.

I can’t cry about a guy only making $14 million a year. He seems worth more but football is different. J.J. Redick can get $23 million for a year and no one sniffs at it. Apples and oranges I know.

An elite player but not likely in two years

His speech was awesome, though, along with the girl from the USA hockey team....that being said, I thought Danica Patrick was a terrible choice as host--she was just plain bad.

Not too surprising when your claim to fame was being fat.

265 is fat for his height

 Refrigerator Perry never got within 100 lbs of that

Right. Just saying if he wasn’t fat no one would have known or cared who he was. Obviously weight was and probably always will be his issue. That’s why it’s not too surprising.

You don't think being 560 pounds is surprising?

When you’re playing in the nfl and you’re at your peak physical condition and you’re 315lbs  and not a rocked up lineman... yeah I can imagine youd eat yourself to a ridiculous number. 560 is nuts i agree, but dudes always been a slob. Wtf would he have been if he never played sports? Playing football couldn’t keep him from ballooning to 315... what was sitting on his ass full time gonna do is my point I guess.

Part of the preview they showed was Tom Coghlin setting his max at 292 lbs and every day he had to weigh in and if he was over he was fined. He talked about refusing to get on the scales after his Giants time was over.

560 fucking lbs....it’s impressive to walk at that size, sans NCF

You do realize this will be Roethlisberger about two years after he retires. Dude has major fat potential.

it's comical they have him listed at 241. He hasn't been 241 in a decade. If he ain't 280 id be shocked.
