Which free agents will be paid too much

lovelystyle

Free agency is fool's gold more often than most fans want to admit. We all get excited about shiny, new signings while suffering from collective amnesia.History tells us that the majority of the big names on our will get overpaid. Players usually get to free agency for a reason, and it's hard to find the right fit in the right scheme for the right money.Here's a list of players the crew believes will get overpaid this yearernell McPhee general manager Ozzie Newsome doesn't let the great ones get away. McPhee reminds us a lot of Adalius Thomas, , , , Jarrett Johnson and Bart Scott. They were all excellent defenders who played their best football in Baltimore. McPhee is versatile and intriguing, but he was a part-time player throughout his run. Even in his breakout 2014 season, McPhee played under 600 snaps. He's a fine pa s rusher, but not every team will know how to use him. *-- Gregg Rosenthal *Ndamukong SuhFirst, I am in no way opposed A.S. Roma Jersey  to anyone getting paid. Now that we have that out of the way, I think whatever amount of money wrangles in will be too much. The NFL has created a system in which top-heavy salary caps often fail. Positional spending balance is nece sary to ensure a harmonious locker room and a roster that maintains a competitive fire. All that aside, Suh will likely be looking at something in the neighborhood of 's $51.8 million guaranteed. Is he a true face of a franchise like might be? Can he rally a fan base like Watt, or ? All of these factors come into consideration when factoring a player's salary at this caliber. And it might be difficult for Suh to deliver. -- Conor OrrTorrey SmithSmith is a very good player. He'll likely get paid like a great one. Receivers with speed often get overpaid when they hit the open market -- see -- because they po se s a very specific skill-set that front offices desire but struggle to attain. Smith is a good No. 2 or No. 1B receiver. He isn't disruptive enough on a consistent basis to be ranked with the top No. 1 wideouts. However, he might get paid like one of them soon. -- Kevin PatraByron MaxwellAs free agency's top-billed cornerback, Maxwell is bound to break the bank. Reports out of the NFL suggested that the former cover man wants $10 million annually. We tabbed Maxwell on a  C.F. Pachuca Jersey recent podcast as a potential free-agent disappointment if teams hope to make him their No. 1 corner. He thrived in a Seattle secondary stocked with , and , but there is little proof he can do it alone for a le s-talented team. Maxwell has told his teammates  Bukayo Saka Jersey , NFL Media's Albert Breer confirmed Sunday.-- Marc Se slerMichael CrabtreeCrabtree was coming off the best stretch of his career, registering six of eight games with at least 90 yards to close out the 2012 season. Since tearing his Achilles' tendon in May of 2013, Crabtree has reached that 90-yard mark just twice in 24 games. Rumored to be battling yet another foot injury, Crabtree was among the NFL's slowest and most drop-prone starting wideouts. Similar to a year ago, it takes a leap of faith to sign Crabtree with visions of a return to pre-injury form. -- Chris We selingNick FairleyFairley appeared to turn a corner last season, slimming down with the help of a personal trainer and putting up the best stretch of play in his enigmatic career before a Week 8 knee injury ended his season. Fairley just turned 27 and has all the potential in the world (teammate has said Fairley has more raw talent than him). But any interested team has to be wary of Fairley's i sues with inconsistent play and conditioning cropping up again after signing a fat second contract. Do you want to be the GM gambling that Fairley finally "gets it"? -- Dan HanzusOrlando FranklinNo one gets overpaid in free agency quite like the solid interior guard in a thin market. Like a lot of offensive players, Franklin has looked better while playing with . *-- Gregg Rosenthal *Torrey SmithI love for any offense, but unfortunately we live in a world in which a team's perception of a player financially directly correlates with fan expectation. Basically, someone is AFC Ajax Jersey  going to pay a good deal of money to get Smith because his breakneck speed opens up offenses. But, if he has a production equivalent of a -- again, not Mike's fault he was expected to produce at a certain level -- then we might end up painting his deal with broad strokes and saying it was too much for a player like Smith. Make sense? -- Conor OrrTerrance KnightonYou "win" free agency by signing guys like Knighton to a two-year, $4.5 million contract like John Elway did two years ago. You lose by signing Knighton -- a player with up-and-down motivation in his career -- to his next megadeal. * -- Gregg Rosenthal *Jeremy Maclin obliterated his career highs in receptions and receiving yards as Chip Kelly's "X" receiver in 2013. Once Jackson was discarded, Maclin a sumed the "X" spot, promptly shattering his own career highs in 2014. In both cases, the numbers were inflated by Kelly's system. Maclin is one of the NFL's best No. 2 receivers, but he has never been reliable enough to be cla sified as a true No. 1. Because he's too often in the trainer's room, it took him six years to surpa s 1,000 yards in a season. That said, he's sure to be recruited by coach Andy Reid (his former coach) and general manager Ryan Grigson ( director of player personnel when Maclin was drafted) if he hits the open market. Buyer beware. -- Chris We selingBuster SkrineReports indicate that Skrine could earn between $5.5 million and $7 million per year on the open market. Those figures could put Skrine in the -Dominique Rogers-Cromartie Brazil National Team Jersey  range. The 5-foot-9 Skrine had the luxury of playing alongside and still struggled at times. Pro Football Focus ranked him their 82nd corner out of 108 in 2014. Skrine is a solid No. 2 corner, but if a team pays him No. 1 money this year they will quickly regret it. -- Kevin PatraThe latest Podcast and discu ses where will land. Find more content on .
