Hard money or total contract. It doesn't matter. Both tell the same story.

Money is the discussion.

What is inconsequential is who could take his place, but Adams and Faj-JJ were both available in 2025, would have cost half the money, and played significantly better. This year the pickings are slim, but that doesn't mean that Collaros is being paid properly

No, only one tells the story of whether, or by how much a player might be over paid in comparison to his peers. TOTAL salary. Any comparison of partial salary attained thru Hard money vs bonuses does not and cannot tell that tale. Using it out of context is either the author of the post not using logic, or the author of a post hoping that the lack of logic is overlooked.

If, as you say, both tell the same tale then post up total salary amounts as they are required to prove your point.
