did you guys read where eli is making more then payton?

[Shallow]

wait if big payton is better than lil why isnt he gettin paid more?
(im talkin on the field wise)

Both he and Brady take cuts to free up cap space. The answer is because NY has more room to wiggle with, and maybe it's for next year with a signing bonus. If there was no cap Peyton would be making more than the top Euro soccer players.

If Peyton was coming to a contract year and the next year the Colts had extra cap space and a team ready for next year then they would take up all that space for Manning's signing bonus, and pay him whatever he wanted.

The other reason they do this is to boost slararies for other QBs and then eventually extend the cap slowly. Eventually everyone gets paid more. This has little to do with Eli wanting to make the most money.
