Okay.....first off, this list is nearly a year old, so it's probably not quite accurate anymore, but for the question I have, it doesn't matter: www.cnbc.com/2017/08/25/how-much-highest-paid-nfl-players-make.htmlAnybody notice anything odd about Ben Roethlisberger at #9 on this list ?? (Hint: Look At First Year Base Salary). How did he command such an "outrageous" sum of money compared to every other name on this list, his first year in the league?  SAVE FERRIS |

I'm an English professor, and my understanding of finances is subpar, but if you look at his salary on a salary site like Over the Cap, Roethlisberger is listed as $6 million guaranteed for his rookie season whereas Philip Rivers is listed as $1.3 million, just as the site says. But if you look at the actual salary, minus the guaranteed money, Roethlisberger had a $1.5 million cap hit his rookie year and Rivers had a $2.58 million cap hit because Rivers had all these bonuses that Roethlisberger didn't.
That whole world of being an agent and GM is crazy. In Roethlisberger's second year, he had a $9 million guaranteed salary. His base salary in his third year was $655K. Yet the difference in the cap number was $4.2 million in his second year versus $4.5 million in his third season.
It's this kind of stuff that makes fans go crazy when they can't understand why the Steelers and Le'veon Bell have spent two years not being able to work out a contract.

Eli and Rivers also had big rookie contracts. Eli kind of paved the way for it in 2004, and the Steelers plan was to make him their franchise quarterback.
