Yes, sir, yes sir. Welcome to the Yahoo Sports NFL Sunday Night Freestyle. I'm Yahoo Senior

NFL writer Torez Paler. As always joined by my fellow senior NFL writer Charles Robinson, Charles

is week 17, my man. So what's going on with you brother? I'm doing well man this is

long-waited finally getting to the playoffs. I got a little interesting tidbit here though I think it's kind of interesting.

What'd you got?

Let me give you six names here.

All right?

Aaron Rogers, Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, Jimmy Garopolo, Matthew Stafford, Derek Carr. Those are the six highest paid players in the

NFL. Six highest paid contracts, biggest contracts per year average.

Aaron Rogers, Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, Jimmy Groppolo, Matthew Stafford, Derek Carr,

none of them will be playing in the post season,

which just goes to show you baby, just because you got the quarterback, just because you pay them all that money and you feel like you got that centerpiece, that doesn't guarantee you anything.

Football is a team game.

There's 22 starters on that field, man.

So you got to build a good team.

That's kind of hard to do.

A lot of the times when you've got that percentage of the cap tied up in one player.

All it takes is the injury to make that guy less effective

and all of a sudden, you know, you're not kind of getting the value on the contract. It's a bit of a warning

to teams who sign quarterback's to big money deals, unless the guys that elite stood.

I don't think the chiefs for instance will have any problem paying Patrick my home's 200 million

after next season.
