There are lots of logical flaws with this, but let me focus on just one.
For the team, that means that, if they had paid Peyton his earned salary, they would have had an additional $10 mil to sign players. Imagine adding Ray Lewis (cap charge of $5mil for the Ravens last season) to the team that lost the Super Bowl and tell me that having him and another $5 mil player would not have made a difference.
The obvious logical flaw is that it assumes there was a $5 million player that was A. availble to the Colts before the 09 season and that B. that player would have made a difference in the Super Bowl. I contend this mythical player doesn’t even exist. That’s just one of several problems with this thinking.
