Those don't reflect what they are actually making. I don't even know why they publish those numbers they are always so misleading.
What the union shares is only the guaranteed compensation for each player. Basically, that's their base salary and a prorated portion of a signing bonus. Any other performance-based bonuses are not counted, nor are transfer or loan fees. Also retention funds and money for designated players over the base 350k are not counted.
