Kam Wimbley DE/LB Ten 5 yrs $38 Million

 

2013:

Mike Wallace WR MIA 5yr $60 Million (2013's prize wouldn't do much with out a top tier QB, poor attitude and under-productive.. fans around here wanted him desperately.. good news is he is likely available only two years later)

Greg Jennings WR MIN 5 yr $48 Million (Also not the Same without an elite QB)

Brian Hartlline WR MIA 5 yr 32 Million

Danny Amendola WR NE 5 yr $28 Million (why does NE overpay below average WR's? Imagine if they would spend some money on a top 10 wideout .. Oh wait we did see what happened)

Jason Hatcher DT WASH 4yr 28 Mil

Paul Solai DR ATL 5yr 33Mil

Sam Shields CB 4 yrs 39 Mil to resign w/ GB

Aquib Talib 6yr $57 Mil

2014:

**Ndamukong Suh DT MIA 6yrs $114 Mil ($60 Mil guaranteed) 


**Byron Maxwell CB PHI 6yrs $63 Mil 


<b>these two contracts are horrendous, huge red flags.. Suh has too many issues and Maxwell isn't even a top 10 corner or a #1 corner.. good thing he won't be able to hear all the boos he will receive in Philadelphia</b>

 

Devin McCourty S NE Re-Signs 5 Yrs $48 Million

**Jeremy Maclin WR KC

**Julius Thomas TE JAX 5yr $45 Mil 

**Randall Cobb CB GB 4 yrs $40 Mil to resign
