Defensive Backs Highlight 2009 Base Salary Increases

Several players have hit escalators in their contracts that raised their 2009 base salaries. Other players have had their salaries reduced. Below is a list of these players, their previous 2009 base salaries, their new 2009 base salaries, and the amount that salary increased, or in some cases, decreased.

*-This list does not include contract extensions, or the large increases in base salaries earned by rookies at the very top of the 2008 NFL Draft. I'll have more on those contracts in a day or two.
