in order to tell if they can even be "close" we have to find jordies true number

its widley reported that jordy signed a 4 year 39 million dollar contract meaning his number per year is 9.7 ish (this is the number we're all thinking it is)

in fact, he signed a 4 year 39 million dollar EXTENSION to what he was already suppose to make in 2014, which was about 2.75 million i think

making it actually a 5 year 41.75 million dollar deal or less then 8.35ish million per year

so if cobb were to get 10 million a year, he would be making a lot more then jordy makes
