Nearly four months have passed since we discussed NFC West veterans with salaries of at least $4 million for 2010.

Five of the 13 have since been released or retired, meaning they will not collect their scheduled salaries. A sixth was told to stay away from minicamps.

The chart revisits the status of those players, with updated comments for each.
