OT: Interesting. Highest Salaries in 1986

[manxman2601]

Lawrence Taylor's $850,000 in 1986 is the equivalent to $1,848,000 today. That's less than Tarell Brown.

Some of the unintended consequences is its harder to keep players in line...heck many make more than the HC. Whats a fine? Money for playoffs and Pro Bowl....who cares?

Once again the Jets embarrass themselves with a crappy team despite three of the top twelve highest paid players at their positions.

Boy now I see what old stingy owners like Mike Brown still offer their players.

Ha. That was the year the started 10-1 and lost the last 5 allowing Pats to sneak in and win the division.

Then in divisional round Jets blew a 10 point lead with 4 mins left and lost to Cleveland in double OT. Charley Steiner said on radio "Jets are gonna win this game" after Jets scored to make 10 point lead with 4 mins left.

I was too lazy to look it up. There are only two possible variations of every Jets team since Super Bowl 3, so I knew it had to be either:

(A) a crappy Jets team that was an embarrassment, or
(B) a talented Jets team that choked like a dog and was an embarrassment

So I picked the wrong one. In fairness, picking option A is usually the way to go.
