Quote:That is absolute insanity.  There is zero way Olivier Vernon, Mr. 7.5 sacks, makes $18 million.  If he gets $18 million Andre Branch gets $10 million.  The salary cap went up 8% and some of you are acting like it went up 50%.  No, players aren't suddenly going to make $10 million dollars more than they would have last year.  Insanity.

 

This your problem, teams aren't going to pay guys based off "numbers" alone, teams also consider how guys "effect" the game. Olivier Vernon and Malik Jackson are disruptive football players, Todd Walsh in his introductory press conference used the word "disruption" several times, for a reason. The Jags had 40+ sacks in 2014, which is a nice number, I personally wouldn't call that 2014 D-line a "disruptive" unit, numbers can be deceiving.
