If his brother didn't sign for 34.5mill, then he wouldn't have been offered nearly that much. He's rougher now than peyton was when he came out, but his big bro is kinda super-awesome, so...

Eli at number one has the second most guaranteed (bonus) money in the history of the NFL. That's nothing to sneeze at. If his brother didn't sign for $34.5 million in bonus money a few months ago, he would be first.

A couple problems with this. First, we were discussing total contract value, not just bonuses. Eli is not #2 by a long shot. Then, as far as "guaranteed", that $20 million "bonus" is not. It is actually 5 bonuses, some paid down the road for making the roster.

I would have just passed on this, but my post was an attempt to show how ridiculous the Postons' demands are, and couldn't just watch an attempt to rationalize their foolishness. I hope they stand their ground, and Cleveland stands theirs. Would love to see him home for the start of the season!! He could have been on the field now with a team that would have featured him in their offense, instead of getting drafted by a team with an offense in disarray. The Skins F/O has to be rolling on the floor over this one.
