Just a little more explanation on the multi-year issue. The player listed from 2000 signed a 10 year, $252 million contract in 2000. Because the contract was backloaded (the salary was higher at the end than the beginning), he technically didn't cross the $25 million mark until 2005. But I still listed it as 2000 because that's when the $25 million was locked in by a signed contract.
