Mark Sanchez, Eli Manning and the NFL’s Current QB Contracts and Salaries

Eli Manning and Mark Sanchez Are Signed Through 2015 and 2016, Respectively

Eli Manning and Mark Sanchez Are Signed Through 2015 and 2016, Respectively

Both New York’s quarterbacks have been in contract news this week.

Eli Manning restructured his contract, giving the Giants almost $7M in additional cap space. The team took $9M of Manning’s $10.75 2012 base salary and redefined it as a bonus which will be paid over time.  Result: Eli’s 2012 base salary is now $1.75M.

The Jets, after briefly looking into Peyton Manning with no “luck,” cashed their chips with Mark Sanchez.  He signed a three-year extension keeping him Gang Green’s QB through 2016.

Here’s a look at the NFL’s starting quarterbacks’ contracts and their annual base salary breakdown (as of the date of this post).

You might see something not adding up when you tally the annual salaries and compare the total to the terms of the contract.  That’s because all of these contracts are loaded with an initial signing bonus, annual signing bonuses and other bonuses (incentives based on performance, for example).  Those all add up to the total contract terms (or more in the case again with performance incentives) – and impact the salary cap.

Tom Brady, Eli Manning and All the Super Bowl MVPs

Joe Montana is the Only Three-Time Super Bowl MVP

Joe Montana is the Only Three-Time Super Bowl MVP (usatoday.com)

The Green Bay PackersAaron Rodgers was just named the 2011 NFL MVP.  He’s the seventh Packer to win it, most of any team.

Rodgers was also last year’s Super Bowl MVP.  Here’s a list of all the Super Bowl MVPs and final score of every game.

Eli Manning won it in 2008 when the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots in a classic.  But don’t feel bad for Tom Brady too much.  He’s got two Super Bowl MVPs of his own (with Deion Branch being the other Patriot winner).

Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw and Bart Starr are the only other multiple winners of the SB MVP.  Montana is the only player with three.

In 1977, there were two winners: Harvey Martin and Randy White of the Dallas Cowboys.  That’s the only time that’s happened.
