I thought it would be fun to take a look at how some former tigers are doing in the NFL (financially)..... Rohan Davey -2003......$ 304,200 -2002......$ 555,000 Kevin Faulk -2003......$ 714,700 -2002......$ 592,700 -2001......$ 687,200 -2000......$ 578,800 Rondell Mealey -2001.....$ 223,675 -2000.....$ 117,700 LaBrandon Toefield -2003......$ 477,000 Domanick Davis -2003......$ 559,000 Josh Reed -2003......$ 368,150 -2002......$ 1,891,000 Jarvis Green -2003......$ 304,700 -2002......$ 470,000 Brady James -2003......$ 640,000
DD is massively undervalued. I wonder when his contract expires? It's a testament to his character that he didn't hold out for more money after last year.
There's no doubt DD will get a huge pay raise after his performance this year. I think coming out of college his size hurt him in terms of where he was taken and how much he received, but now he has proven himself and the future looks very bright for him.
It's actually a testament to the rules negotiated by the NFL and the NFLPA. Guys can't hold out for more money during their first contract in the league.
Yes Domanic was entirely underrated, but his talent is catching on practically everywhere. I still say Josh Reed is and can be something special. Ive seen the man make way too many ridiculously great catches to believe he is washed up, as his QB, Drew Bledsoe very much so is.
Did anyone see what Davey did this last year in Europe. It's time this guy got his own team. He has gotten better year after year. I think we will see alot more of him in the next couple of years.
