In case you missed your NFL offseason goings on over the last week, your favorite MACtion #1 draft pick, Central Michigan alum Eric Fisher, just signed a healthy new contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs. Fisher’s contract is for a robust $63 million over 6 years, which is not blogger good, but pretty serviceable.
For most of us that’s an amount that is simply unfathomable. If the average person works from the time they are 22 until they hit the sweet social security pot at 62, that’s 40 years to earn. If you just look at Fisher’s guaranteed money ($40M), that’s a million per year for the common guy or gal over the course of their entire working life.
