Agree, I wasn't shitting on it. It's interesting looking back at those contracts. At the time they were signed (I think this is accurate):

-Manning was the highest paid player ever
-Harrison was the highest paid receiver
-Wayne was paid top-10 money as a #2
-Freeney was highest paid defensive player ever
-Mathis was paid top-10 as a #2
-Glenn was a top-10 LT
-Diem was a top-10 RT
-Sanders was the highest paid DB


That was right in the thick of that second best 5-year run in NFL history: 65-13 (.813).

Only team better was the Patriots from the same time: 66-12 (.825).
