Feel free to find anything different. And that's NOT including Richard Seymour, which would bring that average way up. There are 4 DE paid higher than Kris Jenkins, the richest Nose Tackle on the market. And on the Steelers, the Chargers, the Ravens, and the Patriots, they have a 3-4 DE paid more handsomely than their Nose Tackle. They obviously think their 3-4 DE carries more dollar value than a Nose Tackle.
You are very, very wrong on this. Admit you were wrong. For once.

I've admitted when I'm wrong.
You have to take a look at the ages of those players, not just the contracts.
Casey Hampton? Kris Jenkins? Jay Ferguson?
Why are you comparing guys that have been in the league for a decade versus guys who are on their second contract?
