Vikings DE Ray Edwards Believes Roger Goodell Is Overpaid

Discussion in 'Minnesota Vikings' started by BigBlueBruiser, Feb 16, 2010.

  1. Ray Edwards could make as much as $3.2 million in 2010. But as a restricted free agent, the Vikings defensive end doesn't hide the fact he's not happy he won't be able to shop his services on the open market. His angst only grew when he learned NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made more than $9 million in 2008. "I don't see him out there getting hit or nothing like that," Edwards said. "The commissioner makes $9 million, so you tell me where the balance is? He doesn't put his life on the line, he pushes a pen."

    Goodell is overpaid, but FFS Ray, don't become one of these players.

    Ray is correct though, as much as Goodell moans about the money players get (especially busts), Goodell is getting more and he's also not producing the goods.

    Wait, do those $9 million include the fines, or did they come on top?
