but what a bargain now...
I don't know if the list is outdated, but Overthecap.com is the source and I bet they are more up to date and anyone, it's got Suh on there and that is recent

Of course the list is from overthecap...I recognize it from there. Anyway I didn't say the list is outdated, I said the top contract is. The list is accurate. What doesn't work is to claim the top contracts on that list reflect the market in 2018.
That's 3 years ago. Cox signed that contract in 2016. Even then it was below the 19 M a year Suh got in 2015, The market for 2nd contracts at any position goes up, so you can look at it as Donald in 2018 being 3 years away from Cox's deal and 4 years away from Suh's deal.
And either way it is not established that Donald gets money in line with 2nd contracts for DTs. He can also be considered as one of the 2-3 top defensive players in the league, regardless of position. In which case the relevant deal is the one Von Miller signed in 2016 for 19 M. If it is viewed that way, 3 years after Von Miller, Donald should be getting more than 19 M.
