There are guys getting paid huge contracts all over the league due to rise in the cap and massive money available for every team.
Fair point. I've been aware of the cap going up, but it's still hard to wrap your head around $10 million for Dennard.
Even if you adjust and say it's the equivalent of a $7 million a year deal a few years ago, that still seems high for a very average-at-best performer.
That might explain why $7 million for Hart sounds so bad though. Maybe that would've been a $3-4 million deal a few years ago.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
