Not in my mind... It is a fact. It's exactly why Suh who is a DT makes more than Watt. The position is everything in Houston's contract. It is the hold up. He wants to be paid like a d-linemen because he puts up elite d-linemen numbers. He wants to be paid as a "pass rusher." Dorsey and most of the rest of the league's businessmen probably don't want to go down that road because he's a linebacker and LBers make significantly less.
See where I am coming from?
Clay Mathews got 5 years $66 million with $20.5 million guaranteed. I think he deserves 6 years $75 million with $50 million guaranteed. That would be a very generous contract for a LBer. It would make him the highest paid in the league by a lot.
