Money in the bank
Johnson is now third largest lions player in history to get paid $132 million with 27.2 million guaranteed. This is over a 6 year deal. I wonder how he's team mates feel about that, it have to be a blow to the ego. The contract didn't go smooth at first, Johnson put the big boy pants on and held out for 8 days. Now that's called writing your own check.
Some professional football players barley $100,000. The better you are the more you get paid. It isn't easy being one of the greats. It takes a special king of person to make millions on top of millions. I use to think football players make a lot of money.
