GP did not say anything about million dollar contracts. The statement "millions of dollars for 8 - 10 years" is correct for any and all NFL players who remain

GP did not say anything about million dollar contracts. The statement "millions of dollars for 8 - 10 years" is correct for any and all NFL players who remain on a team roster that long, since per the 2014 minimum salary table[1] such a player will make no less than $5.175m. Using the conservative estimate for an average player's career given by the earlier link (3.5 years), the average player going forward will make approximately $1.8m. Thus, the majority of NFL players will gross over $1m in their careers. Edit: beat to it while I was typing.
