Random Fact of the Day: 3.888 million dollars vs 1.69 million dollars

Assuming that both players play out their $61 million and $99 million contracts, that is the approximate worth of touchdown passes thrown by JaMarcus Russell and Peyton Manning. The first overall pick of 2007 signed a 6 year-$61 million contract and has thrown 18 touchdown passes. In 2004, the other former first overall pick-Peyton Manning- signed a 7 year-$99 million contract and has thrown 168 touchdowns since that season. So by those numbers, every touchdown pass by Russell costs the Raiders 3.8 million and Manning is only costing the Colts 1.69 million. Manning is better every way you look at it.
