So Boyd rec 1.6 mill of a 10.6 mill salary cap last year? 9 million left for the other 40 players?
It's better than that.
Using his figures:
2015 - ~$100k due to the rookie wage.
2018 to 2021 - $550k pa works out to $2.2m total.
$7m over seven years minus $2.3m over five of those years leaves Boyd earning $2.35m pa in 2016 and 2017.
Except:
"Annual salary figures released by the AFL show only six players were paid more than $1 million a year — up from four in 2016 — and none as much as Gillon McLachlan’s $1.7 million pay packet."

It still doesn't add up.
Edit: As much as I hate Barrett's "journalism", this seems more reasonable - https://www.triplem.com.au/sport/afl/news/damian-barrett-reveals-tom-boyds-extraordinary-2016-salary.
$1.7m last year leaves it at an average of $1.04m a year over 2017-2021. Even if this year was frontloaded at between $1.2m and $1.6m it still leaves it at an average of $900k-$1m a year for the rest of the deal.
