[Perry87]

And there is a large difference in terms of appearance of selfishness and other LR factors, but in terms of demonstrating how much a team will spend to fill a position of need, it does help his argument.  After all, there are multiple teams starting bots at O-line this year))

It only helps his argument if take away all other factors that influence the willingness to pay that much for a position. Predraft Philly made it clear that if they selected me they were going to invest in my development to a LB. In exchange I'm expected to reciprocate that trust and investment with dedication. My initial contract offer with Philly was a lot higher than the one I accepted. Loyalty begets loyalty.
