Dude, you're missing it. NO ONE earns less, unless they don't play a full season.
MINIMUM salaries for NFL players (the longer you've been in the league the higher the minimum salaries):
Exp. Minimum salary
R $225,000
1 $300,000
2 $375,000
3 $450,000
4-6 $525,000
7-9 $650,000
10+ $750,000
I'll take those over $160k, any day of the week, not to mention all the extra stuff that goes with an NFL contract, like pension pay-ins and the like.
You're really not on solid ground here.
To say nothing of one of your initial statements which compared the salaries in various leagues- each league has totally different salary structures- in some leagues the non-stars make more, but there are fewer superstar-level salaries, in other leagues, there are some great fat contracts, but the run of the mill guys, who do quite well, aren't making near what an NBA benchwarmer makes.
And in all these leagues, no one who has an actual full salary makes $160k or less. Sorry.
