Nick Cannon announced his departure from America’s Got Talent earlier this week, following controversy over a joke he’d made about the show’s network, NBC, being racist. In his statement, Nick alleged that he was leaving before he was inevitably fired, something he said the network had plans to do.

NFL: You Think NFL Players Are Making Money? Wait Till You See What Commissioner Goodell Make$!
NFL superstars make a ton of money. Peyton Manning made almost $20 million this past season. Tom Brady was also near that same number. After winning the super bowl last year, ravens quarterback Joe Flacco turned that into a new $20 million a year contract as well. But none of them are stuntin’ like commissioner Roger Goodell. Last year alone he raked in $44 million dollars! The year before that it was around $30 million, which makes the $11.5 million he made a few years ago look like chump change. So basically he has a three year total of over $80 million which would put him far ahead of any athlete in any sport salary wise. I definitely picked the wrong side of sports to be interested in.

Football players especially have it tough because in most cases contracts are written with no guaranteed money and a player can be cut at anytime. However, with that said, if you can hang around a pro sport for even just 4-5 years, you can come out living pretty comfortable. Some numbers are outrageous, for example, if you break down Kobe Bryant’s salary for 2012, he was paid $37,940 for every shot he made! So basically after making just 2 shots, he already made more than a average citizen will make an entire year! Hit the link after the jump to see what these players can make.
