“Clearly ahead” means the gap is bigger than what the plays behind each number could produce by chance. “Slightly” means it points one way but could still be noise.

The money

Contract and cap numbers side by side. Bars share one scale, so the longer bar is the bigger number. A bigger number is not a better one: it is only what each is paid.

  • Average per year

    A$16.5M
    B$4.3M

    What the contract pays on average each year.

  • Cap hit this season

    A$5.1M
    B$3.9M

    What he counts against his team's cap in 2026. It can be far from the average year on a deal that is backloaded.

  • Share of the cap

    A1.7%
    B1.3%

    This season's cap hit as a share of the league cap.

  • Total value

    A$49.5M
    B$17.2M
  • Guaranteed money

    A$32.4M
    B$17.2M

    Fully guaranteed at signing, as OverTheCap reports it.

  • Pay rank at his job

    A38 of 161
    B92 of 161

    Among the players at that job we hold a contract for, 1 is the highest paid.

  • Among the 161 offensive linemen we have a grade and a contract for, Zion Johnson is 159th on the field and 38th in pay. His grade is still an early read, so this says nothing yet about whether his pay is fair.
  • Among the 161 offensive linemen we have a grade and a contract for, Donovan Jackson is 155th on the field and 92nd in pay. His grade is still an early read, so this says nothing yet about whether his pay is fair.

Contract figures as of 2026-10-12, read from public cap pages for all 32 teams. A player with no row there, such as a practice-squad name, shows “not tracked”. See pay against play for every position.
