Edge rushers: this one is harder to do because there is no "edge rusher" category, so I just did 4/3 DEs and 3/4 OLBs together.
Plus, as with many positions--WR, CB---there are "superstar" 2nd contracts that are ahead of the norm. So I won't count either Mack or Von Miller. Those guys really belong in an unofficial but very real category loosely called "best defender" (Donald belongs to that too).

Maybe Fowler won't cost that much. Spotrac uses different comps and puts his re-signing cost per year at a little more than $9 million.
