Ben Graham: $7million In NFL Salary
Ben Graham made the right move when he went to the NFL. Here are some of the salary numbers, converted to Australian dollars.
He was the oldest rookie in NFL history when he joined the New York Jets and was paid Au$308,133 for the season.
He then signed a six year extension, and if he plays for all of this contract it will equal Au$6,893,333 in total payments.
In his last game Graham had to kick the ball 3 times, which worked out to around $24,000 per kick.
With these numbers it is likely that many more AFL players will try the NFL, and possibly at a much earlier age than Graham did. While Bennett had a long career there, and Saverio Rocca should make it too, former Bear and Hawk Nathan Chapman was not successful when he tried out with the Green Bay Packers.
Scott Lucas, Brendan Goddard, Brendan Fevola, Dustin Fletcher and many others have the leg to be as successful as Graham.
But while many will think about going, there are only 32 teams using 1 punter each in the NFL, not a lot of vacancies.
