You can't compare their wages with your own. It all comes down to this, if the going rate for any position in a commercial workplace is at a certain mark then you will expect compensation comparable to that mark.

If you accept less then you are just going to be shorting yourself value that someone else is going to be compensated with.

Considering the average NFL career is 3 years they essentially get paid a normal lifetime's worth of checks in the short amount of time they are expected last...works out if you ask me.
