Top 10 Most Over Paid Player In The NFL

Jamarcus Russell is kind of still in the NFL? Is he on the list? I'm at work and can't see it!

 

peppers cant be overpaid when he hasnt played for the bears yet....he might just blow up in that defense and be worth every penny, something haynesworth failed to do

tommy kelly not being on this list is criminal imo

 

No Nnamdi?

 

hes a premier player at his position...he makes alot, but he deserves it...he never complains, he hates being a raider but davis gave him a ludicrous deal that won him over

 

I'll agree with everything you said but he's not worth $15M a year.

 

no corner is, but he deserves to be the highest paid (well second highest paid) CB....and he is, so no complaint on my part

 

Lockdown corners are hard to come by you gotta pay them what you need to in the Raiders case they had to pay him quite a bit.

 

Why isn't Nate Clements on that list?

 

shouldn't all the cowboys be there??

 

i think hes made the bulk of that $70 million deal he had.

tommy kelly, chris canty, d-hall, leonard davis...just a few names

 

4 Matt Cassel...i can understand him being on here. but his cap number will drop greatly after this year.

the contract 4 him was cheap 4 da Chiefs. the next couple of years are going 2 be important 4 him.

 

Davis isnt overapid. Dude's been worth every penny

For us, William is obvious. Barber is wayyyyyy overpaid. T-New could have gotten more when his deal was up (always been much better than Clements, and would up getting less), but at this stage considering he may be the #2 CB in 2010, he is prolly overpaid too.

We've been roughly 50/50 on franchise level contracts, which isnt all that good

Good:

Romo
Ware
Davis

Bad

Barber
Hamlin
Adams

Debateable

Gurode
Newman

Good thing is, I think Barber is the only burdensome crap contract we have to worry about at this point

 

Cassel should be higher than #4. He's probably more overpaid than Haynesworth considering relative talent levels, production and future potential.

 

eh, davis was the highest paid player (or lineman or something) when he signed his deal....hes good but hes still a guard. hes a good one, but hes way overpaid at his position

 

He is #5. i was using the number 4, 4 for lol

anyways. The Chiefs had no say so in how much Matt Cassel was 2 be paid.

The Pats were smart in franchise tagging him. cuz they didnt want 2 lose him 4 nothing.

in return the Chiefs spend a 2nd rounder and a front loaded contract 4 Matt.

Meaning after this season or next. He he will be cap friendly 2 cut if he doesnt work out.

4 how much the contracts go for franchised QB's he is cheap.

 

His contract is six years, $63 million.

That's an average of $10.5 million a year.

Drew Brees has a six year, $60 million contract. Tom Brady is playing on a six year, $60 million deal.

Aaron Rodgers signed a six year, $65 million deal in 2008.

Is Aaron Rodgers $0.3 million a year better than Matt Cassel?

No, he's far, far better.

Cassel = overpaid. Vastly. I still think the decimal point was in the wrong place in a six year, $6.3 million deal.

 

Bob Sanders....
