Then factor in the salary caps mandatory growth; isnt it 7% growth in total dollars from the previous year?

With how much cap there is now, and the way contracts are bloating, $50 million contracts are par for starters now, $75 million is for the above average PB players, and $100 million + is reserved for the super stars such as Manning, Brady, *cough* Vick *cough*.... or so it seems.
