NFL's Best/Worst Contracts

CBSSports La Canfora took the liberty to list what he thinks are the best and worst contracts in the NFL, and here is what he came up with...

Worst

 

Jonathan Stewart -- Carolina Panthers ($3.2M cash; $3M cap): Stewart looked like about the fourth-best option in this crowded backfield in 2012, and even after redoing his deal to stay, this figure still seems bloated. De'Angelo Williams (another strong candidate for this list) remains with the Panthers, Cam Newton is becoming the best rushing quarterback perhaps in NFL history, and fullback Mike Tolbert sees a lot of the ball around the goal line, with seven touchdowns himself. In an era where running backs have been largely devalued, and none were taken in the first round this spring, that's a lot of money for a role player at this position.

 

Best

 

Cam Newton -- Carolina Panthers ($2.4M cash; $6M cap); Robert Griffin III -- Washington ($1.4M cash; $4.8M cap); Andrew Luck -- Indianapolis ($1.4M cash; $5M cap):I've combined all three of these guys -- all of them a top-two overall pick or higher in the past two drafts prior to 2013, because all look like true franchise quarterbacks, all have set some sort of rookie quarterback record or another, and all will be stuck playing for this through 2013. Newton, who is entering his third year, will be the first test case for the new CBA when it comes to extensions and options.

 

Luke Kuechly -- Carolina Panthers ($961,000 cash; $2.9M cap): I didn't want to put too many second-year players on this list, but given the dearth of impact inside linebackers these days, and this kid's tackling-machine numbers as a rookie, he's earned his way on it. He looks like the leader of the Panthers defense and their on-field brain for years to come ... and it will be years before he is paid like anything close to it.

With all the fuss with DeLo in the past, folks should honestly look at this with value. Stewart has never out done Dwill in YPC over his time here and has yet to separate himself with enough distance to justify his contract, specially considering the fact that Dwill re-structured his contract and has been the most proven RB in Panther history.......

 

Love Stewart, know he is younger, but he has never proven he is the future...

 

We are blessed to have them both + Tolbert + barner, but the $$$ is a waste.... (isn't that what everyone was saying about DeWill before he re-structured and he has ALWAYS been our homerun threat and not to mention healthy)

 

 

Flame away....

he's not wrong. both his and williams were bad. williams got rectified somewhat, but both were still bad.

From a cash/cap standpoint, his numbers are still both bigger than Stewarts this year. His is less worse than the original....both those guys should of been on the list.

Little surprised Beason wasn't there

totally agreed. forgot about beason. good catch. at least he'll be getting a lot of snaps this year, but he hasn't played but a handful of games the past two years and lost his job to a rookie and he's getting paid how much? ridiculous. he should have absolutely made that list. i think lacanfora was just being nice in not having more than stewart on that list. we should have had 3.

Stew also cant stay healthy.  Since we've got tolbert i'd be fine if we could move stew.

My how the mighty have fallen. Few months ago J-stew could do no wrong.

Healthy, he is still the bed overall RB at this point....

Still overpaid. But I think Williams should be listed before him....older and cost more

      Qbs aren't defined by physical abilities. Brady, Brees, Manning, Montana, Warner,.....doesn't seem to correlate.

      Corbett might not be gone

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
