Johnson is scheduled to earn close to $130 million over the next eight seasons, including $113.5 million over the final seven years of the deal, league sources told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora.

The contract includes $4.5 million in an existing roster bonus that's due on the final year of his rookie deal.


The deal also includes $53 million in guaranteed money, with Johnson's $1.25 million base salary in 2012 guaranteed, and $36 million due in signing and option bonuses. According to La Canfora, $11.5 million in future salary is guaranteed for injury only.

The contract makes Johnson -- who scorched the NFL with 96 catches for 1,681 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2011 -- the highest-paid wide receiver in league history, surpassing the eight-year, $120 million deal that Larry Fitzgerald signed with the Arizona Cardinals before last season.

No.

Tough one

Why? We can franchise him for three or four years consecutively for cheaper than that.

NO

You can only franchise a player twice.

5Y 55m 30M guaranteed Gets the job done. Plus why the **** would a NFL player lock himself into a 8 year deal.

Eh. :shrug:

No way.

Not true can get hit 3 times with it.

No way in hell. He's not worth anywhere near $100 million.

The key here, of course, is "guaranteed" money. Anything beyond a reasonable 3 year amount ($40-50 million)...for a "very good" WR, would be too much; give him that....and make the rest incentive laden, so after 3 years the Chief's could cut their losses if he turns into Larry Johnson, II.

JMHO

Roddy White got a 6-year, 48 million dollar contract in 2009.

Bowe is in his class (Roddy has even worse "drop issues" FYI).

I'd say Bowe's worth 10 million, accounting for inflation.

Hell no

Absolutely no way in hell.
