Oh, Byron Leftwich. What has happened to your career? You started off so well with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but you are now relegated to filling in for a dog killer. 

Leftwich was signed by the Atlanta Falcons to a two year, seven million dollar contract. In the pantheon of salaries, this one doesn't make it to the main hall. Still, he has some worth and the Falcons are desperate.

Let's take a look at how the 7 million breaks down:

• $774 per passing yard completed
• $19,230 per rushing yard
• $152,173 for every game he's played in the NFL
• $29,166 per pound, though I think he's heavier than the 240 pounds listed

Are the Falcons getting a deal? Sure, I think so, but you best make sure Leftwich doesn't own any dogs.
