No everything reported was saying Sherman would have been getting 3+ million per year.
While I don't mind Jauron, I think this is partly about money. There has to besomething about the business side wanting "super star" key position players that they know they can recoop part of the cost by selling lots of Jerseys. How many people buy Olinemen jerseys? But LBers, RB, QB, WR, etc... are sold by the dozens and brings income in.
