Felonies and misdemeanors are two classifications of crimes used in most states, with petty offenses being the third. Petty offenses are sometimes called violations and are usually punished by a fine with no jail time.
Confidence votes 16. Brett Favre had the first 100 million dollar contract in the NFL when the Green Bay Packers gave him a 10-year, 100 million dollar contract in 2001. That is a complete lie and whoever wrote that is just making that up completely from their head.
Players can thank draft bust JaMarcus Russell, the first pick of the 2007 NFL Draft. His six-year, $68-million contract changed the way NFL owners pay rookies. The NFL implemented a rookie wage scale after the 2011 lockout. Only four years after the Russell debacle, Cam Newton, the number one draft pick in 2011, signed for $22 million over four years. Not chump change, but it pales in comparison to Russell's mega-contract.
