Not sure why the Eagles are so low...

But I figured they are not including Dickersons extension.

For context, you may want to add the number of transactions and the average per transaction.

I also view these contracts in terms of their Guaranteed Money.

A little misleading as Burns' contract is almost the entire enchilada and is spread out over a 5-year contract, which will probably be reworked in the future

33rd team is an excellent resource, I am not sure why people are saying the information they are creating is misleading (I was also told their stat on RB contracts, on another thread, was misleading)

While the 33rd team has become a bit more fan-friendly, it's still one of my favorite resources.  I have a hard time believing any of the stuff they put out was intended to mislead.

Interesting how you replace context with misleading. I didn't think it was intentional, just sensational. You could be right though. Another matter of semantics. The context however could validate the veracity of the statement.

I think Jolly used the term "misleading" I also think he used it correctly.  :greetings:

If we want to get into semantics, Burns was not a free agent.  When it comes to compensatory picks, trades aren't included.

I don't like this.. the top spender in FA?!
I have always thought that teams should build through the draft, only the ones who don't know how to draft good players resort to overpaying their players and selling their draft capital.
Not good imo.

I don't think they are being intentionally misleading so much as the nature of NFL contracts are intrinsically misleading.
