Obviously but that does mean teams he should be paid more than Mosely. If they think Mosely was only worth $13-14MM then they might only off Bobby $15-16MM
Wagner isn't a used car. " Worth" does not apply here. You said obviously. That's it. Mosley's contract set the market. Wagner's contract starts there. Wagner is a better player. Seahawks are paying it and/or Wagner us giving the team a discount or he is gone after this season. This isn't that difficult to follow.
I think you have kinda a binary issue it is not a 0100010 black or white, yes or no world. Mosely is 26 Bobby is negotiating for his age 30 season because he is under contract next year and is 28 today. Mosely has been a 4 time pro bowler and you could argue he is as good now and will be better over the 2019 to 2013 window than Bobby will be at age 30 to 35 2020-2024.Really Bobby does not have as strong as a position as you think. The Hawks can keep him in 2019 and tag him in 2020 now he is a free agent. The 2 figures for the differnt tags for LB is 15.77 Mil and 13.62 and if they tagged him a 2nd year they would just have to pay him 120% of his previous salary. Oh and both these would be big per year salaries but not some huge guarantee.

Not to mention Washington (7 states do not) does not have a state income tax which gives players here a true income that is higher than most other states the max fed bracket is 37% but try LA or NYC
10 mil in Seattle is 6.3 Million net
10 Mil in LA 37 fed tax plus 13.3 Ca state income tax = 4.97 M net
NYC 10 mil -37% FED, - 8.82 NY state income tax, - NYC income tan 2.9 to 3.648 use the bigger =4,9468,000 year.
If you wanted to know the other 0 income tax states with big time sports franchises are Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and Nevada, along with WY, and SD that are not. So if I am negotiating I am baking that in. Especially any mention of of signing bonus up front being non taxed vs taxed.
10 million in Seattle is worth 12,676 Mil in Ca, and 12.736 million in NYC
IN NYC that 17 = 8.449 million per year that is worth
13.41111111111 million /year in Seattle so there you go.
Because the more you know,,,. The more you know.
