After NBA free agency tipped off just at midnight on Saturday, one of the first deals that got done was Steph Curry's monstrous contract with Golden State. 

If you somehow missed it, Curry agreed to a five-year, $201 million deal that will pay him an average of $40.2 million per year, which is the highest average annual value of any contract ever signed by a player in the four big North American sports. 

it also means that Derek Carr now has only the second richest contract in the Bay Area signed this year.

Even though the deal went down late at night, there were still plenty of NFL players paying attention to what happened, and let's just say they sounded pretty envious of Curry on Twitter. 

Let's start with the reaction of Lions offensive lineman T.J. Lang, who will "only" be making $3 million in base salary in 2017, or $37.2 million less than Curry.  

49ers backup quarterback Matt Barkley was so shocked by Curry's deal that he sent out two tweets. 

Of course, Barkley will only be pulling in a $1.4 million base salary in San Francisco this year, which might explain why he was shocked. 

Broncos linebacker Shane Ray is eagerly waiting for the day where NFL players are getting Curry-sized deals. 

The highest total value of a contract in the NFL right now belongs to Andrew Luck, who will pull in roughly $140 million if he plays out his deal, which includes the $18.4M salary he made in the option year of his previous deal before his five-year extension kicked in. Basically, Ray could be waiting awhile if he's hoping to see an NFL contract get to $200 million. 

Let's check in on Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon. 

We also have a reaction from Lions tight end Eric Ebron, who sounds like he might be interested in quitting football and going to the NBA. 

Ebron was reacting to Blake Griffin's five-year, $173 million deal with the Clippers. 

These NBA contracts are so crazy that Takkarist McKinley, who just signed a rookie deal with the Falcons that includes $7.89 million in guaranteed money, now feels broke.

Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall had a one-word reaction when he saw all the gigantic NBA deals getting done. 

With a $2.55 million base salary, the linebacker will be making slightly less than Curry this year. 

Finally, although he doesn't play in the NFL anymore, former Lions defensive back Gerald Alexander had a pretty entertaining response to NBA free agency.
