The numbers above are right on, maybe you just forgot on a couple guys. Either way it's a negligible difference and doesn't affect the discussion.

thats good to know, thanks for the info. Salary in the NFl is so flexible. Snyder keeps us otu of trouble by giving guaranteed money. its amazing how many different ways you could give someone 10 million over 4 years between signing bonuses, workout bonuses, roster bonuses...

anyone think they will ever be more strict about salary? do something like in basketball where rookies salaries are capped for teh first four years? make it so you have to honor teh contract as a player and as an owner, you cant just cut someone and not pay them. theres no point to long term deals in the nfl. we restructure so many salaries every year
