I'm not sure why this is relevant. Each league also has a different expense structure outside of player salaries. I wouldn't ever expect players to make the same % in each league. Absolutely - as I said, each league has negotiated different priorities. NFL players get guaranteed money on day #1 and can become free agents or highly paid franchise players within 5 years of coming into the league. MLB players may never have a chance at a big payday until after their prime, which is why they are so pissed now. In the NBA, top players have their salaries artificially capped and they have extensive salary rules that make it harder to switch teams. Every league has different structures, each with things those leagues' players considered most important. You only look at one aspect and then decide they were screwed, but that's not how it works. How do you value freedom of movement vs total pay, for example? Parity is not about outcomes - it's about opportunity. All teams in the NFL essentially have equal opportunity because revenues are nationally distributed for most part, the cap puts all teams on equal footing, and extensive player movement makes it possible for teams to regularly come out of nowhere or fall apart quickly. In MLB, BOS/NYY/LA have structural advantages - other teams can compete, but the playing field is not equal. NBA doesn't have those structural advantages, but it's so heavily driven by star players that it has non-parity for other reasons.
Bell to the Jets 4 yrs/$52.5 mil. Looks like he won’t be making up what he lost for sitting out the whole year
