06.11.09 SANCHEZ SIGNS: 5 YEARS, UP TO $60 MILLION
New York Jets quarterback and upstart sex object Mark Sanchez has signed the most lucrative contract in that team’s history. The 5-year deal will pay Sanchez $28 million in guaranteed money, and could be worth as much as $60 million, according to Sanchez’s agent, David Dunn, who tried to capture the spirit of the thing. From Y! Sports:
“I think from the Jets’ standpoint, there’s probably a little bit less money at risk,” Dunn said. “And from our standpoint, I think $28 million in guaranteed money will tide him over fine for a while. And, obviously, he reaches free agency a year sooner.”
From the moment he was drafted by the Jets fifth overall in April, Sanchez insisted to his representatives—Dunn, Andrew Kessler and his brother, Nick Sanchez—that he wanted the negotiations to be taken care of quickly and not set up a potential holdout situation.
Comparitively, No. 1 pick Matthew Stafford signed a six-year deal worth up to $78 million with about $41 million in guaranteed money, which is about $40.999 million less more than I’m guaranteed to make this year. And, yeah, we’re gonna go all-WAGs today for as long as we can. I don’t think anyone will complain.

sigh…fine, Imma just go beat off in the corner to my Bo Jackson poster
This is going to turn out well. When I think of “money shrewdly invested in overrated QBs,” I think immediately of the New York Jets.
He looks like Johnny Damon…only loftier!
sigh…fine, Imma just go beat off in the corner to my Bo Jackson poster.
women can beat off? That must be a mighty large clit.
They call me Dimpie “Nostradamus” Chimplins. Did I call it or what with the Dirty Sanchez… I mean Mark Sanchez post.
With the way Matt Leinart worked out, this all makes perfect sense.
So let me get this straight - you make 81.999 million a year?
I am in the wrong line of work…
@devang..relitave term there, Literal Jones….
@dimpie…oh oh can you read my palm next?

Woman that use the term “beat off” are instantly hotter!!
@Prep - What numbers did you use to come up with that amount? With number crunching skills like that, I’m guessing you’re an accountant at GM.
Mrs. Parker- I will read your palm, but you should know that my snake eye does most of the reading. Oh and you’re husband should be in the closet during that time.
Oh, did I do the math wrong on that? Whoops.
Punter - The numbers are right, the words are wrong. You could care less and so do I. I still got what you were shooting for there.
@Chris Wallace - Please don’t make me walk you through that one. Read it real slow. Were you one of the ones buying the awesome cars we were making? I don’t even buy that garbage.
Boobs.
