The thing about the "leaked" contract offers is you never really know. Depending on what agent you asked you could get several different answers for the highest paid, MLB, TE, etc...Even gauranteed isn't always gauranteed. So when hear things like "second highest paid MLB" I always wonder what criteria is that based on? Are they talking about Total possible value of the deal, average annual salary, signing bonus, something else? Even like in Dunta's case where the rumor was 23 million gauranteed, there's too many ways to manipulate the numbers to make it sound like a better offer than it is. Agents do it all the time after the fact as a recruiting tool.
