NFL: Eli Manning Highest Paid Player
Um...really? Him? 
If he's worth that much, how much is Adrian Peterson of the Dikes and Tom Brady worth then...? $20M per season? Minimum?

Eli Manning has agreed to a new six-year, US$97-million contract extension with the New York Giants that will make him the highest paid player in the NFL with an average salary of roughly $15.3 million.
A person close to the talks who asked not to be identified because the deal was not signed says Manning is guaranteed $35 million under the deal which will keep him with the Giants through the 2015 season.
Manning, who led the Giants to a Super Bowl upset of the New England Patriots in February 2008 and was named the MVP of the game, was in the final year of the contract he signed as the No. 1 overall pick in 2004.
Manning took over as the Giants starter midway through his rookie season and he has led New York to the playoffs in each of the past four seasons.

Running back are not going to get a top contract because of their lack of longevity and the fact that it's much easier to find a top running back than it is to find a QB.
