Spotrac decided to lock up past stuff behind membership now, so I can't see 2015 when he got the deal, but in 2017 he was the 25th OG in the NFL... I find it hard to believe he went from 10 to 25 in 2 years unless 1-9 was paid highly and then there was a MASSIVE gap after that before where Boling was.

Also he got $5.2m/yr (with only $2.5m signing bonus and $5m total guaranteed) and Kevin Zeitler got $12m/yr (with $12m signing bonus and $31.5m total guaranteed).... trying to portray Boling's contract as anything but team friendly is a foolish task.

At the time Boling signed in 2015, he was the 8th highest paid LG and the 14th highest paid G overall. By 2016, both of those ranks plummeted. As it turned out, it definitely became 'team friendly' because they ended up paying middle of the pack money for a quality LG.
