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.

It's amazing to me that there are people that continue to defend a 30 year old career backup with limited skills, while bashing 24 year old QB's who have already shown flashes and have a lot of time on their side.

OH NOES! IT'S A RISK!

If you miss on a young QB?

TRY AGAIN.

Miss again?

TRY AGAIN.

Or, you can guarantee mediocrity by throwing the same garbage out there year after year.

And he's 24. No room for improvement, according to your dumb ass.

Keep stroking the wood for a career backup with limited talent.

Better yet, go back to your Patriots board and act like you know shit about football because your organization stumbled into a franchise QB no one wanted but Dick Rehbein.

Hey, dipshit, I'm not stroking wood over anyone. I'm pointing out that your argument about getting a franchise QB is a bullshit argument. Is your comprehension really that poor?

You can piss and moan all you want, but it's not going to magically produce a franchise QB that Pioli missed on in the draft since the arrival of Cassel.

If Sanchez, Freeman, Dalton, etc... ever show themselves as franchise QBs, you'll have a point. None of them have done it so far, so you're just talking out of your ass right now.

JFC, Clay used 25 and 6 as some miraculous touchstone

Or, we could have a guy who once threw 25 TD and 6 INT in a season.

That would be cool.

That ship has sailed. Thanks Scott.

Pointing to a 27/7 season is a perfectly reasonable response to that.

Seriously, are trying to out-troll Clay, or something?

My point isn't at all debatable. There's nothing "magical" about acquiring a franchise QB.

You'll never acquire a franchise QB if you never try to.

You can sit back and compare Freeman to Russell all you want, but that doesn't mean the kid is a bust.

Only a fool would give up on a 24 year old with 3 years experience who has this much untapped talent.

I know he was untouchable, but i would have given the farm to have gotten Stafford.

We can't make trades to draft QBs. Completely locked into draft slot, just like the Redskins.

I just know that if we cut Cassel today I would feel better about this team.

Obviously, we would have missed out on all those first round studs we have.

So far, none of the QBs they've passed on has shown themselves as a franchise QB, so there wasn't some failure just because non-franchise QBs were allowed to slide by. If Freeman becomes another Aaron Rodgers (falling QB who turns out to be franchise level), your point will have merit. Right now, it doesn't.

If you're blind to the differences in those two seasons - age, supporting cast, completion percentage, etc - I can't help you.

For a 22 year old kid to do that - including a 61+% completion rate and a 7.3 YPA - with limited talent around him - is phenomenal.

For a 28 year old to do it with the benefit of a near-historic running game and a YAC-machine at WR1 - and still only complete 58% and be under 7 YPA - BFD.

Ask any football fan outside KC and Tampa three questions:

Which QB had the better season?

Which QB is more likely to become a franchise QB?

Which QB would you rather have on your team?

Who the hell is going to vote for Cassel?
