Ravens Ring of Honor
This x 10.Hes doing exactly what he's paid to do. If he was an dominant pass rusher he would be getting paid much more then what hes making now.
You don't get quality interior pass rushers for $10.5M a year. You want somebody who will get more than 3-4 sacks a year, your opening volley is about 50% more at $15M a year, and that won't get you there in most cases either. Your Grady Jarrett's and Fletcher Cox's of the world cost $17M a year right now, and cost about double the guaranteed money Williams got.
If 2011 Haloti Ngata was playing in 2019, he's a $17-18M a year player all day long. He made more on average than Williams did when he signed his extension... only he signs his 6 years earlier, in a much different salary cap landscape.
Here's the reality... $10M a year isn't a lot to pay barely anybody in the current NFL landscape. You'll have a $200M cap next year. You're talking 5%.
