You comparing salary vs. salary is a strawman set up by yourself to knock it down. The only time I even used the word, "salary" is when I directly quoted the source (USA Today page here) which included all bonuses earned for total compensation.

Pleae tell me which eight players out of the top twenty five were no longer on the Saints roster...
