Then there's Chris Horton. Seventh-round draft pick in 2008, with a contract so modest it was worthy of the NFL's version of pity pay last year -- a $342,197 performance bonus because his playing time was so disproportionate to his salary.
Yep. I feel badly for the guy. He only got a bonus of 342K. Unlucky dude.tribeofjudah wrote:I am one of feels that Horton should get a bigger contract with $$$ soon.

How can a man expect to live on such wages?It's a GD BONUS! In today's economy why wouldn't you be thankful for a job, not to mention a 342K bonus?Punu wrote:He may be making $342K, but what the original poster is probably referring to is the salary compared to other NFL players who make 10 times as much and not as good. How do you not get that?

Sellers probably won't get a raise, because of his age and for the fact that he is a fullback. Horton shouldn't get a raise this year, because he needs to prove himself for more than just one year.

Rock? Sorry guys, I like Sellars in those situations.

I would have to disagree with the idea of Sellers deserving much of a pay raise. Honestly, I think that Sellers is vastly overrated my many Skins fans, largely for his 2005 season when he caught 7 passes. He is a solid blocker no doubt, but he is terrible carrying the ball in short yardage and has done next to nothing as a receiver the last few seasons. I've harped on the FO for not rewarding our own players in the past, but in this instance I think that they are right on in not paying Sellers more money. He might be a fan favorite but I don' t think that it would be all that hard to replace him as a player.

will see how important and underrated he is.
