    Calvin Johnson gets a 7-year contract extension. The contract is worth $132M with $60M in guarantees. This is the most expensive contract handed out exceeding Larry Fitzgerald's $120M

    BTW - Revis should have the nickname Optimus Prime for being the only one who has shut down Megatron.

    When revis come to renegotiate he will probably want to use this contract as his starting point!

    Victor Cruz had about 150ish yards less then Megatron (and about half the TDs, but he wasn't even the Giants #1 target in the red zone) and he's set to make $550,000 next season.

    Life, or at least 3 years until he renegotiates again, as seems to be the pattern among highly-paid players.

    He is a Free Agent after next season though so provided he plays well he will still get his payday.

    Surprised to see Desean Jackson sign a 5 year $50m deal - I suspect the Eagles may come to regret that one.

    Read that the Jackson deal has only $15-18 mil guaranteed.

    If that's correct, then that's a pretty damn good deal for the Eagles.
