Crains: List of top-paid Detroit athletes

[BShea]

I compiled the list of top-paid pro athletes in Detroit. It's by single-season, not full contract, and is for the most recently completed season (not the ongoing Pistons/Wings seasons). Cutoff was $3m. Salaries were taken from the USA Today salaries database.

Some surprising names on there.

wow, thats crazy money.
AI made 20 million, what was he whining about.
I wonder how much Justin Verlander is going to get, he barely made your list.
Willis at 10,000,000 a year? In 2 years he has made $20,000,000 million and has one win to show for it.
Sometimes you gotta think our world is upside down.
