Even the guys that did get a deal landed way below average deals.

Market correction. Thanks to guys like Dorsey, and Schneider who threw ridiculous dollars at Berry and Thomas, the price point for safeties got all out of whack. With teams employing hybrid safeties/linebackers and utilizing more db’s in specialized roles, we are seeing a quantitative shift in how personnel is employed. Interior DL 1 techs for instance are paid less because they factor as 2 down players. As the game has expanded into more specialized personnel groupings, more roster players are being utilized, thus making depth more relevant.
