Comparing kickers and punters to Slater is like comparing a quarterback to Slater. There fewer kickers in punters in the NFL, than there are players who can perform the duties of a gunner.Umm.. Gostkowski has a higher cap hit than Slater. In fact, there are 8 kickers who have a higher Cap hit than Slater. There are also 10 Punters who have a higher cap hit than Slater.
No, I am trying to compare Slater to other players in the NFL who play the same role for their teams.For you to say that Slater "is the highest cap hit of any core four special teams player in the NFL that does not contribute on an offensive or defensive unit" without actually providing a list of players that it would include SCREAMS of you trying to narrow the field down so you look like you know what you are talking about. So, let's see the list. Show us all the players who are "core four special teams players in the NFL that do not contribute on an offensive or defensive unit" so we can see if what you say is true.
These are those 10 players cap figures for 2014 –
Bethel -$598K
Lane -$730K
Slater-$2.26M
Easley-$490K
Stuckey-$1.16M
Smith-$762K
Campbell-$656K
Jones -$745K
Davis -$570K
Bademosi-$570K
Izzo was paid around the minimum for his service years every season he was here.As for what Larry Izzo received as compensation, you seem to have overlooked the fact that the salary cap was significantly less during Izzo's tenure than it has been while Slater has been here.
Slater does not play on the field goal protection or field goal block units.Slater's on more special teams units (there are 6 in total, not 4 like you stated, btw).
