Highest Paid Center in NFL

[Southieinnc]

The Eagles show how they feel about centers by making their center the highest paid center in the league.

Must be important?

Eagles C Jason Kelce signed one-year extension, now highest-paid center in NFL

fitting, they dont amtter

Why pay all that money to the least important position on the team?!?!

Has Howie lost his mind?!?!?

Waiting to hear the Philly two step for this one? Let me guess it will go something like this;
Kelce is different. I mean all the other centers aren't important. Come on, Kelce not only meticously and fabulously snaps the ball to the magical and wonderful AMVP or the incredible best ever back up QB SB MVP from two seasons ago. He also without fault calls out the blocking scheme.
Kelce is a Super Bowl champion, two time Pro-Bowler and is a two time First Team All-Pro. Of course you pay him the most ever.
Slurp slurp slurp

Kelce > Wentz

Why would the genius of the cap pay the most in the league for the least important position ?

10th highest paid player on the team... and only got it for one season 3 years from now. Til then he will be paid about the 20th highest paid player on the team. Best C in the league making 6 million per for a very long time now.

The 3rd year doesn't count because the team could release him at anytime. Virtually making this a non contract.

Good for him. He is now our 4th highest paid OLineman behind Brooks, Peters and Johnson. Sounds about right. The 4th most important guy on your line should be the 4th highest paid.

Think about that. The best Center in the game is now the highest paid yet still our 4th highest paid OLineman. Sinking in yet fellas?

That’s not what they are getting paid. Peters is making over 13 million next year. Brooks is making over 11. They are all making more. Lane Johnson is making over 15 mill next year? Where did you get these numbers?
