Who's Stealing Money in the NFL? (1 Viewer)

Some players are overpaid - grossly in fact.

Most Raiders come to mind, as an example.

However, I'm interested in some names (and pricetags) that are out there and come to mind.

 
Detroit Lions Cory Redding, 7 years 49 million. 37 tackles 1 sack in 07, 33 tacks 3 sacks so far this year. Worst defense in league.

All Jaguars receivers since Jimmy Smith, with the exception that Matt Jones recently stopped stealing.The entire secondary of the Cleveland Browns.Norv Turner.That's my list.
 
Will Smith.

For the sake of my serotonin levels, I will not type out how big of a thief he's been.

 
Burress this year

McNabb

Santonio Holmes this year

Shaun Rogers

Andy Reid

Burress got his big 5 year deal in the preseason and has sucked all year...not to mention multiple suspensions from the team. :thumbup:

I agree completely with all of yours except Mcnabb! If he actually had a coach and not a drug pushing loser named Reid .......(also a thief) than he would be earning every dime. On another note the player this year stealing the most money for least output................L.J. SMITH. they should make another Oceans movie about this ******* and his thieving skills.
 
justin mccariens, regardless of how much he's making or what team he's on. He should have been on the FBI's most wanted list after his Jets tenure.

 
Tommy Kelly , Raiders and Flozell Adams , Cowboys are both making about 14 mil and sucking all year.....

At least Adams was good at one point... cant say that for Kelly.

also Berrian at 13 mil is not living up to the Top 5 WR money he got.

QB's Alex Smith , Derek Anderson, and Vince Young are making a lot more than us watching football

At this point, the Yorks must be thinking of pressing charges against Nate Clements. Dollar for dollar, he might be the biggest thief in the NFL.

Rogers seems like the only Brown's defender who is trying.when he plays well the browns have a chance to win.

its the coaching staff in cleveland that is currently over paid

Please list the 27 Raiders who are stealing money.
:wolf: okay, I meant most of the examples I thought of were in OAK. Russell's overpaid and unproven for example, but any young QB that underperforms is.

J Walker.

A Lelie.

Sorry to single out one team but first few names were there. I think it is league-wide and there's a reason I'm looking for these characters - they're likely to be cut next year.

agree w/ the aboveRogers is a total beast! Don't know how he could be mentioned. It is pretty much Rogers taking on 11 offensive guys week in/out. He has already been mentioned as an all pro by everyone who watches him (tv broadcasters and players from whatever team cleveland is going up against). I'm a browns fan and watch every game. Trust me, I will not give this lousy browns team credit unless deserved. Rogers will go to the pro bowl. The only reason he could not is b/c he is a brown. Look at his tackle totals....

 
Steven Jackson, Jerry Porter and Javon Walker were the first three that came to mind before opening the thread.

I'd add Ocho Cinco - seems to be mailing it in now.

Two far bigger thieves on the Niners are Jonas Jennings and Vernon Davis. Could almost make an arguement for Alex Smith but 1.1 picks usually make stupid money. Jennings got paid Larry Allen type money, has never played and is just plain fat, lazy, and now on IR. Vernon Davis is what is wrong with the NFL Combines. Freak athlete amazes scouts who never even had him on the radar who in turn convince GM's with blank checks that this is "they're" guy. God I love Hockey.
 
Deion Branch down?

$39 million, six-year contract in September of 2006

Texans pretty much any veteran FA signing, just not the names invloved with the 49ers and Raiders

Ahman Green (hurt again)

Chris Brown (on IR)

Jacques Reeves 20 miliion over 5 years

Morlon Greenwood (around 5 million for 2009)

Anthony Weaver (11-12 million guarantedd)

 
Didn't Deangelo Hall make 8 million in his 8 games with the Raiders? 1 million dollars per game... That's thievery.

 
My top 10 list.

1) All 32 NFL owners

2) Any player making over 2 million a year.

3) Ticket scalpers

4) The beer guy.

5) The peanut guy.

6) Anybody in a paper hat trying to get you to buy a $6 hamburger.

7) The guy you pay $20 to for a parking place.

8) The girlfriend that knows nothing about football and begs you to take her to a game and then does everything in her power to keep you from watching it.

9) John Madden

10) That guy with his 2 cents about Shaun Rogers. A 400lb man that blocks kicks and makes backside tackles and sacks is very entertaining in my book.

There were plenty of weeks he dogged it in Detroit, but I haven't heard those negative reports since he moved on.

I think his high level of play is being lost in the shuffle a little bit because Jenkins and Haynesworth are playing at equally high levels on two of the AFC's top teams. Nonetheless, I agree that Rogers is a beast and he does seem to have moved on from his past issues with taking plays off.
 
Underwear Man Vernon Davis was stealing once he ran at the combine and if you did not see if coming shame on you. Thank you 49ers for being foolish.

Javon Walker is going to the bank each payday because he has one great season and got a team to pay for it when he has done nothing since.

He had the one great season in Green Bay and his first season in Denver was pretty good - and not just statistically, he looked every bit the part of an elite receiver. The way he played that season, it really looked like Denver stole him from Green Bay for a second round draft pick... But then the DWill thing happened, he had a couple of injuries, and he's never been the same. I actually feel for the guy. He's not very bright so he often makes himself look bad when he's interviewed. But having one of your best friends die in your lap would shake anyone up and I'm not sure he ever got over that mentally. Still, you're right in that he is presently not earning one cent of the huge paychecks he's receiving. Nonetheless, I still kind of root for the guy, despite the fact he's a Raider. I'd like to see him get his career and life back in order.
 
Joey Porter...oh wait, that was last year.

(2nd best option since the Tatum Bell line was already gone)
