Except the Eagles just won the Super Bowl with Fletcher Cox who was The 2nd highest paid defensive player in the NFL at the time.
Mack is paid in between Joe Flacco and Alex Smith currently as per the salary per year... neither a top 5 QB and he is a far better and more effective player at his position than either of those players.
QB, Pass rush and offensive line are the 3 pillars of a successful team in this age of the NFL.
