Its standard operating procedure to pay players commensurate to their production/potential and age. Sure salaries generally go up but its not a simplistic slotting procedure as you suggest and the data follows that logic. If you want to ignore the data that's on you. You can continue to parrot what you hear others say rather than apply logic and reason. For example will Blythe and Scherff make roughly the same money next contract? Both starters and both up for second contracts.
Gadfly? I would have thought personal insults were below you but I am wrong on that. Luckily I'm not easily offended.

And a poor one at that because you need to explain why exception after exception doesn't fit the theory. This is because it ignores talent level. Theres no doubt that the salary for young talented guys generally goes up each year. But there is significant variation in salaries as their is variation in talent or perceived talent even among starters. Its NOT slotted as the draft is. Any theory that ignores talent is wrong imo. I dont care that someone wrote about it. I can find example after example that diverges from it.
And incidentally whitehair is listed as a guard at spotrac.
It's standard operating procedure among sports writers who follow NFL contracts to note that 2nd contracts for starters go up with the cap. Relative percentage of the cap stays around the same, but since the cap goes up the annual average amount goes up.
And you have not named exception after exception. You didn't note that Whitehair was paid as a center and was moved to guard this year, and you didn't realize Barrett was on a one-year "prove it" deal after not starting in Denver.
So again---not listening (it's not a "theory" and it's not "mine" ) and trying too hard to be the personal gadfly.
You like to go on but we're done. Don't get us deleted now.
