Devin Funchess got 1$0 Million last year in FA and rumor is Robbie Anderson could get $12-13 million this season. AJ has said he still thinks he has 4 more elite years in him so he isn't going to take a contract that doesn't reflect that. Maybe he goes to the open market and then comes back based on offers, but I have a sneaking suspicion someone like the Saints/Packers would give him a massive deal.

Other than that I think the numbers look about right. I think Eiffert signs for less simply because that number would put him in top 10 territory and his play just doesn't match that. Billings may be a little high too as a NT but it's hard to tell because a guy like Linval Joseph and Star Louteli signed big contracts as NT's.

I kinda responded to this in the post above, but I just want to add a few things on the Green aspect.  I based my price on what I would pay considering the risk and age.  I think if you're signing him its for two years because it gives both the organization and Green a chance to capitalize off of what I consider to be a better quarterback in Joe Burrow.  You can also add to the top end with a bonus structure based on playtime that could put him into that elite level of pay, but what you simply cannot do is front-load the contract with huge guarantees on base salary and then eat that cap when he goes on IR for another year.
