Other Liabilities

The components of the “Other Liabilities — Other” balance in our Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

(In thousands)	December 31, 2017		December 25, 2016
Deferred compensation	$	29,526	$	31,006
Other liabilities	52,787		47,641
Total	$	82,313	$	78,647

Deferred compensation consists primarily of deferrals under our DEC. The DEC enabled certain eligible executives to elect to defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis. Participation in the DEC was frozen effective December 31, 2015, and no new contributions may be made into the plan.

We invest deferred compensation in life insurance products designed to closely mirror the performance of the investment funds that the participants select. Our investments in life insurance products are included in “Miscellaneous assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and were $40.3 million as of December 31, 2017 and $34.8 million as of December 25, 2016.

Other liabilities in the preceding table primarily included our post employment liabilities, our contingent tax liability for uncertain tax positions and self-insurance liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and December 25, 2016.
