DE salary

why is it so high? why is an 80 rating DE with salary of ~10k while same rating on DT with salary of ~3k?

I haven't seen discrepancies that large but in the NFL the average salary of a DE is generally about 20% higher than DT so the sim should reflect some of that.

Salaries are relative to position. If a DE and DT both have an overall rating of, say, 80, but the DE's 80 is #1 at his position and the DT's 80 is #17 at his position, there will be a wide discrepancy.

Salaries are based on the data at http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/football/nfl/salaries/position/DT/2009 .
