There will be some inflation on top of Vernon Davis's deal for the 6th pick this year, but it will certainly not top the proposed $7.5 million per year Briggs would hypothetically receive.

So much of the guaranteed money has to do with position, though. If Davis was a WR rather than a TE, his number would have been higher.
