This is a list of the top NFL IDL per year salaries.
Look at the players around Jones pay rate. They're all 2 tiers above him.
Look at the players around Williams projected pay rate. They're 1-2 tiers better than he is. I've seen every one of them take over and have huge impact in multiple games. I haven't seen Williams play at that level, ever. He is a very, very good player. But he is not at the level that warrants a huge contract.
After those listed above, salaries drop off quickly. My evaluation has Jones equal to players in the 8.0-10.0 range, and Williams in the 12.0-16.0 range.
This board seems to be infected with the JS "overrate and overpay replacement(-) to replacement(+) level players in the trenches" virus.
I've been hoping it was mostly on PC that we could never build the trenches after the SB era guys moved on. I was hoping JS would turn it around, with MM's help, and start building the lines successfully. Hope is waning.
