One thing I think people overlook is the ever growing salary cap. I'm definitely guilty of it too. It's hard to keep up with.
The salary cap when AJ signed his deal in 2015 was arojnd 140 mil. It's now projected at 196 to 203 mil in 2020. That's 40% increase.
Sometimes I think we call all get certain figures stuck in our head. i.e. 10 mil buys this, and 12 buys this, 15 buys this, and so on. But the cap is growing so much and these years fly by. Before you know it, the benchmarks you set are totally changed.
A 9 mil dollar per year deal in 2015 looks like 13 today. That's why some of these examples seem so crazy. That's how a guy like Humphries makes 8.5 and a turd like Devin Funchess makes 10.
