Buffalo Bills: WR Kelvin Benjamin

Contract: One year, $8.5 million  customizable nfl jerseys

When the Buffalo Bills traded for Carolina Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin last October, the financial obligation was minimal, as the Florida State alum was in the fourth year of his rookie contract. Benjamin cost the Bills just $529,412 in 2017. But as they’re also on the hook for his fifth-year option, they’ll be paying a lot more in 2018, and Benjamin’s value is yet to be determined.

Buffalo will pay him $8.5 million this season. That’s a lot for a receiver who’s failed to gain $1,000 yards in a season since his rookie campaign of 2014. Last year, Benjamin caught 48 passes for 692 yards and three touchdowns, but only 16 catches for 217 yards and one touchdown came on the Bills’ dime after the trade.

When a receiver has a higher 2018 cap hit than Odell Beckham, Jr. and Antonio Brown, and he’s a relatively slow-footed possession receiver with limited breakaway ability, that’s a decent definition of “overpaid.”
Contract: Five years, $55.5 million buy nfl jersey

Carolina’s decision to sign Kalil to a five-year, $55.5 million contract with $31 million guaranteed before the 2017 season was one of the more questionable free-agency moves of the last few years.

Dave Gettleman was the man in charge of that choice, and he was also behind the 2018 signing of Nate Solder for the Giants, which puts Gettleman on our list as a GM twice. Perhaps he should consider that the next time he makes fun of analytics.make your own nfl jersey

The fourth overall pick in the 2012 draft, Kalil spent his first five seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. Outside of his rookie year, he posted a series of below-league-average performances in which he struggled to handle power from run-stopping ends, and he looked even worse facing up against edge rushers. Kalil should have been on a short prove-it contract, but the Panthers evidently thought he had proved all he needed to.where to get cheap nfl jerseys

In his first season with the Panthers, nfl jerseys cheap from china Kalil worked through injuries and showed little improvement. His tendency to set high off the snap gives him a leverage disadvantage when run-blocking, he needs guard help when pass-blocking because his footwork is choppy and inconsistent and he has a hard time keeping up with pass-rushers looking to bend the edge.
