Yet for some reason the salary for the top five guys you mentioned should have been the following if the salaries of the top 5 guys had kept pace with the increase in the salary cap
1) 15.63 million
2) 14.21 million
3) 14.21 million
4) 14.21 million
5) 13.09 million
The top salaries have not kept up with the salary cap increase and likely will not keep up over time.

Except for the fact that the highest salary has also been CAPPED at 20% of the CAP in case you forgot.
So it went from $7.8 million ($39 million cap) to $15 million ($75 million cap).
Funny how a salary cap works to cap salary. Perplexing I know.
