Here are the 10 most overpaid players in the NFL for the 2022 season. Follow Nonstop Instagram: / nonstop TikTok: / nonstop Twitter: / nonstop Imagery supplied by Getty Images
I think it's insane that the Ravens made a guy who missed the end of the last 2 seasons with injuries, the highest paid player in NFL history. Yeah, LJ is a damn good player, but I don't see him having another 2019 again.
Jerry Jones is no doubt one of the greatest owners in sports history but he is also one of the dumbest and most stubborn. Elliott's contract was a huge mistake, Pollard is a better back and deserves to be the starter. I'm not even a fan of the cowboys.
long ago I heard it said ,the govt owns pro football,since they merged , now looking at these contracts, at the very least ,no way NFL pays taxes, rooting for players to make that much a year ,while poor people get audited , seems lame ,..🤔
Personally I think no one should be on any more than anyone else, especially when there is such a disparity. Mahomes is on 45 million a year. He is good but not worth that amount, whilst Hurts is not even in double figures, which is insane.
Jamal Adams may have had a great year last year, the Hawks even changed their base defense to better suit Adam's style.... to bad we'll never know because he was out after week 2
Looking at the season so far you could add Stafford to this list. Goff is out playing him big time. And the Lions are looking a a good draft from the Rams this year 😂😂😂
The problem with a video like this is that it forgets that teams develop strategies for these players. Teams don't forget how they got dominated and they make adjustments. I'm not even a Zeke fan, but he can't do it all by himself, hence why they got Pollard.
@@12thMandalorian yeah but their roster is nowhere near competing for a SB, and a QB who hasn’t played in 2 years isn’t gonna just come in and carry a team to a SB
Moral of the story: Give most players a contract of 70 mill and up, productivity drops hard. It makes sense now why the Ravens have been reluctant on giving its players big contracts since Flacco.
Players should get paid around there 3rd years waiting 4 to 6 years do to franchise tags fuck the players football players on average probably only last 5 to 7 years
Don’t forget Andrus Peat. At least MT competes when he is healthy. Andrus gives up mid play and forgets to block. Then, when he does block, he tears his peck, or tears his acl, or his other peck, or even his other acl. Man legit has yet to prove why he deserves that pay check.
I know this is a 'now' list, but none remotely compare to the king of sandbaggers: Albert Haynesworth. Guy got a $100 million 7-year deal from the (then) Skins, then sandbagged his way off the team in less than two years. He once got sidelined for flat-out falling down and laying on the turf to watch a couple of plays while they were still alive. - Guy's a legend.
Actually the redskins changed defensive schemes going from a 4 3 to a 3 4 so he technically quit on them. The all but threatened the same thing in Tennessee when he was ask about switching
Pretty mind blowing so many people still latch on that they are stars and not disposable by- products of the offensive line and fitting the scheme. Last year's super bowl RB1 who most people here can't name got released by them and then cut by another team in training camp this year 4-5 years into his career. Imagine like 26yo starting QB on a super bowl winner getting released like "nah don't need you lmao" and then he gets cut in training camp on a worse team a few months year. That alone shows you how disposable they are
There's no reason to sign an RB to anything but a rookie contract with the 5th-year option. When your RB1 gets to his third year, draft his replacement, rinse and repeat.

@@j.m.5744 it’s okay that you don’t have much knowledge on the Lions but there offense is top 10 and Goff is easily playing like a top 15 qb without his top weapon for half the season, he is also still missing a top 10 pick in Williams, both teams did well in that trade and that contract isn’t too bad.
Yes duprees stats might not look good but the titans d is a whole different group when he is on the field rather than off they get more pressure and more sacks when he is there so really that is what they are looking for now
Frank Clark is overpaid, yes, but he’s having a solid season this year and he’s a decent edge rusher. It’s not worth the money, but it’s not as much of a dead contract as Golladay or Zeke. The off the field issues just suck. At least we’ll be able to dump Clark soon with the emergence in recent weeks of 1st round pick George Karlaftis.
I’d actually pay the O-line way more then other positions with exception to QB and TE. Just look at the previous Super Bowl champs on offense. Great OLine, meaning they can make any RB look GREAT, protection of QB and a QB/TE duo. That’s all you need on offense.
Ha, Name five TEs that should be paid more then Justin Jefferson actually name one. TE is a position u put a player that has talent but doesn't fit any position. You don't draft a TE and be like yep now we are title contenders. GB losses Adams they shit now
Lol if, that's the case then why are dolphins have such success with Hill and Waddle and not just Gesicki. They are spreading defenses out with great WRs. If, the dolphins offense can keep this up then Tua is mvp this season.
id say its karma, you guys have had several good QBs that got thrown to the wolves and called bad by fans despite the majority of the issues with the broncos being coaching and bad receivers. well that and all the taunting you guys did to us seahawk fans before the season started about the trade.
i hate franks contract as well but he made some very key sacks/play in the chiefs 2019 playoff/super bowl push and it’s lessened the blow of him not hitting that 13 sack mark.
I love Cj Moseley alot when he was with us and I cant hate him for leaving, we weren't going to give him that money, he got burnt when he was in coverage but number 1 when it came to the run stop, and blitzing, hes the middle linebacker that you wanted back in the day until these much faster type of style offenses came out! Always hope the best for him, he seems to be doing good this year!
Tbh, Zeke hasn’t really been bad since the contract. But pollard is getting more and more Carries each season. Elliott still had at least 4.0 y/a each season since. It’s obvious that he isn’t as good as his 2018 self, but I feel like pollard being added hurt Elliott’s contact cause you’re almost obligated to give him more attempts with how he played. I think Elliott’s contact is an interesting subject because his contract would probably be considered “worth it” if they never drafted Pollard. It’s safe to say the contract wasn’t worth it, but it hasn’t been a horrible return either. I feel like 5 million less than his current contract would he a fine contract.
@@idontcarebricks8253 when he had that hurdle last game I was so happy seeing that! Don't get me wrong Zeke is one of my favorite players I have 3 different jerseys home away & alternate
@@nandogee1205 yup. I love Elliott too. Sad to see his name to be dragged through the mud when him not living up to the contact wasn’t really his fault tbh. I have Elliott blue jersey and 2016-17 and 2018-19 pro bowl jerseys. Never could find 2019-20 pro bowl Elliott jersey 😔
giving RB big contracts is always a bad idea. you draft one and use the 4 or 5 years of rookie contract and then draft antoher one. its not a premium position and you can take top 5 RB in the 2 3 round
Yeah I would absolutely never pay a RB. Even if you end up "giving up" an all time great like Adrian Peterson, you never see these teams win superbowls anyway. Derrick Henry has yet to make a SB. So it seems even someone of his talent isn't going to carry your team to the promised land
The worst thing about zekes contract from my understanding is the way years are guaranteed. From listening to a cowboys podcast they explained that seasons became guaranteed a year in advance unlike typical contracts which become guaranteed in the offseason once finished with guaranteed part; for example the 2021 season became guaranteed at the start of the 2020 season, the 2022 season became fully guaranteed at the start of the 2021 season. The 2023 season became guaranteed back in august. They This made sure if you moved on early you were going to get around 30 million in dead money instead of just the remaining signing bonus. Their out is at the end of 2023 which will be 11 million in dead money. Horrific. He’s gotten around 50 million of his contract so far but more has been guaranteed because of how it’s structured. You could see with your eyes in 2018 he wasn’t the same guy even though the stats didn’t show it yet.
@@Jason-lk9yi hes made of glass, or he is doing something that's not sustainable? Adams loves playing around the LoS, blitzing, and shooting gaps.....that's great and all, but he only weighs like 220 max if that. Him constantly taking on Guards, and TE's is going to put his body under massive stress.
The Rams might crash and burn in the next few years, and the Lions might take that pick they gave em and ride it to prosperity. But the Rams got a ring out of it, so it'll never be a bad deal
I hear a player wanted to kill himself for mIssing out on future income of 36 million and I'm sitting here with my 9-5 and broke as shit. I feel so privileged. Gtfooh.
Sacks are overrated.. A lot of them you fall right into.. A lot of them are 3rd and long and they didn't have much of a chance anyways, Some guys are double teamed some aren't, etc, etc.
I like the fact I have to work everyday and go to the grocery store and spend 300 dollars a week to feed myself and one other, I hope these guys can survive
@@emitrin24 so because someone paid Brock Osweiler (Houston Texans) means that it was worth it? I like to pay my players on success, not off the merit that someone else may be willing to overpay for them.
Great video and I know this was made awhile back, but CJ Mosely ended up being an all pro this year. Would agree that the contract looked bad over the majority of the contract
This is why I want to see how this NIL stuff affects young college players. SO many players fall off after their ‘big’ contract. Some of these guys in college will enter the league being worth $10-20m. Get ready for supersized attitude and dog shit energy/desire to be more. I think the NIL is an amazing concept, but they should get a % allocated every year through college until they either graduate, or leave college for the NFL. These ‘kids’ are going to have such an inflated ego that the NFL will be a bunch of Odell’s
Now at the end of the season, CJ Mosley looks like an all pro, Christian Kirk had his best career year and looks like he is building great chemistry with Trevor Lawrence. Might be a great duo in the future.
The issue with Zeke is he has way less rushing attempts. 244 in 2020 (15 games) and 237 in 2021 (17 games). If you multiple his YPC by at least 300 attempts then you get 1,200 and 1,260 yards.
The NFL hasn't seen a safty like Adams before that could get to the quarterback and be a disruption to an offense the entire game? Have you not heard of Troy Polamalu ?
Idk man. Goff looked better then Aaron Rodgers this year and Rodgers got paid 50m this year. I'd take that with a good team then a qb that is questionable every year
What!? They demand to get paid then their performance drops off after they do!!? Why, that’s never happened before…except for nearly every other time. NFL overpaid execs: Repeat the same mistakes and then expect different results. NFL players: Gotcha again…and again…and again…and again… JuJu Smith-Schuster: I demand to get paid! (To be continued)
This just proves that they do it for the money. Getting $70M+ sets you up for multiple lifetimes, so just play it safe until you're cut and enjoy the rest of your life in relative peace.
WR's are going to start going the way of the RB's when it comes to big FA paydays. These days, with the rules favoring offenses the way they do, teams can pick up a decent to very good WR in rounds 1-3 and milk that rookie deal until it runs out. If the guy is a stud, lock him up. If he's simply average to good, let some other team overpay and draft his replacement. FA is fools gold most of the time anyway. Teams don't typically let their foundation players reach FA until it comes time for a third contract and by then their best years are in the rearview mirror. As for crap deals, I'm surprised Deshaun Watson didn't make this list. All that guaranteed money? That's going to keep Cleveland in salary cap hell for a long time. And what about Kyler Murray? I don't know how much of his deal is guaranteed but a five year deal worth 230 million for an immature QB who's under six feet tall? Goff looks like a bargain against those deals. I think Lamar Jackson is going to discover he has overvalued himself as well. He wants a ton of guaranteed money and it ain't gonna happen. FA's are finishing pieces. So far Brad Holmes has a done a nice job not offering long-term deals with my team the Lions. Pay your guys first, then see what you can afford and what you need right now. That's his philosophy and I agree with it. I think it will pay off in the next couple years. The Lions are coming, and it's damn well about time because they have been overdue since the 1970s.
I wish I got paid this "below salary" type of money. 😆😆😆😆 You think people say this just because they can't handle their money right? Zeke is a joke. 😆😆😆🤡 The only running back I've seen in this era play as hard as he did in college or in his first few seasons was Adrian Peterson. He didn't downfall much at all, even with him being at the end of his career with the skins. Smh. If smith didn't get hurt, the skins may have won a Superbowl.
A lot of these contracts are just bad luck (for the teams). When a young player is an all pro and one of the best at an impact position, how can you justify not paying them? If the alternative is shipping out a guy who seems likely to keep producing, you just have to suck it up and pay the guy. You never know how any player will perform next year, but if Zeke Elliot walsk away and puts up 1600 yards per year then yeah, that's a huge mistake.
I don’t know why you got to overpay a rb, just built your o-line great then any decent cheap, fast rb can run through holes they created
Unless it’s Trent Richardson
Agreed!
That 2016-2018 Dallas Cowboys O-Line got Elliot payed!
That's not true.
Not excacly true still need a average Rb
RB is 1 player
O line is 5 maybe 6 player. It’s easier to find one.
Carson Wentz-4yr $128 million and is now one his third different team in as many years
I think it's insane that the Ravens made a guy who missed the end of the last 2 seasons with injuries, the highest paid player in NFL history. Yeah, LJ is a damn good player, but I don't see him having another 2019 again.
This aged well
there's no need for these players to perform with guaranteed contracts
Jets robbed the Seahawks for two first round picks for adams he’s great player but no where near worth what they paid
Jerry Jones is no doubt one of the greatest owners in sports history but he is also one of the dumbest and most stubborn. Elliott's contract was a huge mistake, Pollard is a better back and deserves to be the starter. I'm not even a fan of the cowboys.
Defund the police? NO. Defund NFL Rookies.😭😂
patriots have a history of paying two tight ends with nice contracts, Grimm and Hernandez as an example.

this is no surprise, sports has a history of players that drop in output once they get a long term contract.
Adams contract isn't the worst he set the sacks record for safetys and is the perfect box player
i thought nate solder was the worst free agent contract ever for the giants, but it looked great compared to what the lunatic gave golladay
Should do a best contacts video
Keenan Allen? Sam Darnold?
The worst part about Zek contact was the two years early!!!! None compare to the Albert Hayworth contact!!!
Zeke earned his contract. Point blank period! He fell off now. But he earned it !
I think there is a new number 1 D. Watson for Cleve. 49 mil. a yr. for less than 10 pt`s a game great move Browns
If you know a player is gonna *CRIPPLE* your ability to add contributing players? Why invest so much? A QB I get
Looking at the season so far you could add Stafford to this list. Goff is out playing him big time.
And the Lions are looking a a good draft from the Rams this year 😂😂😂
Goff played good this season tho

Goff's contract is WAY too high, he’s an average QB but a good one with talent around him.

The 2023 season became guaranteed back in august. They This made sure if you moved on early you were going to get around 30 million in dead money instead of just the remaining signing bonus. Their out is at the end of 2023 which will be 11 million in dead money.
Horrific. He’s gotten around 50 million of his contract so far but more has been guaranteed because of how it’s structured. You could see with your eyes in 2018 he wasn’t the same guy even though the stats didn’t show it yet.
Adam's should be bulking up and playing outside linebacker
Get barton of the field
Adams is made of glass, dude wouldn't have a chance making it through an entire season at linebacker.
@@Jason-lk9yi hes made of glass, or he is doing something that's not sustainable? Adams loves playing around the LoS, blitzing, and shooting gaps.....that's great and all, but he only weighs like 220 max if that. Him constantly taking on Guards, and TE's is going to put his body under massive stress.
The Rams might crash and burn in the next few years, and the Lions might take that pick they gave em and ride it to prosperity. But the Rams got a ring out of it, so it'll never be a bad deal
I hear a player wanted to kill himself for mIssing out on future income of 36 million and I'm sitting here with my 9-5 and broke as shit. I feel so privileged. Gtfooh.
Sacks are overrated.. A lot of them you fall right into.. A lot of them are 3rd and long and they didn't have much of a chance anyways, Some guys are double teamed some aren't, etc, etc.
Zeke secured big 💰💰💰
I think Rodgers and Kyler Murray should be on here too. Also if the ravens pay Lamar he might end up on a future video like this.
I like the fact I have to work everyday and go to the grocery store and spend 300 dollars a week to feed myself and one other, I hope these guys can survive
Kirk Cousins, love him, gotta root for the guy in the captains chair if he’s on your team, but he is NOT worth his contract. My man got his bag.
If you don’t pay it someone else will which means he’s worth that.
@@emitrin24 so because someone paid Brock Osweiler (Houston Texans) means that it was worth it? I like to pay my players on success, not off the merit that someone else may be willing to overpay for them.
Pollard- 81 attempts 506 yards 5TDs
20+yd plays 5 40+yd plays 3
Zeke- 109 attempts 443 yards 4TDs
20+yd plays 1 40+yd plays ZERO
Zeke is eating a lot of cap
Can we put Dak on this list also😂
Well I'll give him one more season and after that I'm done
Frank Clark has turned up every post season, he's like 1.5 from breaking the all time post season sack record
Great video and I know this was made awhile back, but CJ Mosely ended up being an all pro this year. Would agree that the contract looked bad over the majority of the contract
Frank Clark isn’t bad either. Overpaid but he does great in the playoffs
Never hand RB these huge contracts…they naturally are injury prone
Haha! I knew Jerry Jones got duped into giving Zeke a big contract.
This was Jamal Adams last big contract, to get the money you have to be on the field.
Where’s Russell Wilson? He might be the worst signing since Albert haynesworth
러닝백은 무조건 5년넘으면 루키로 바꾸는게 낫다. 그냥 소모품
This is why I want to see how this NIL stuff affects young college players. SO many players fall off after their ‘big’ contract. Some of these guys in college will enter the league being worth $10-20m. Get ready for supersized attitude and dog shit energy/desire to be more. I think the NIL is an amazing concept, but they should get a % allocated every year through college until they either graduate, or leave college for the NFL. These ‘kids’ are going to have such an inflated ego that the NFL will be a bunch of Odell’s
Now at the end of the season, CJ Mosley looks like an all pro, Christian Kirk had his best career year and looks like he is building great chemistry with Trevor Lawrence. Might be a great duo in the future.
Hey Mosley isn't bad with the Jets they have beast Defense once again. He just can't cover the pass
An inside LB that can’t play the pass is bad. Therefore mosely is bad.
The issue with Zeke is he has way less rushing attempts. 244 in 2020 (15 games) and 237 in 2021 (17 games). If you multiple his YPC by at least 300 attempts then you get 1,200 and 1,260 yards.
Thats because hes injured and his backup is more talented
He’s washed man, give it up
@@sixx88 Doesn’t negate the stats.
@@daveczarnik6017 stats say otherwise
@@sixx88 Pollard is no where close to zeke
It’s amazing that 30 years ago. These contract numbers would be unheard of.
30 ? Try 10
Money always goes up
Clark took a pay cut for 22 and will likely take another in 23
The part about Goff has aged like warm milk.
The Cowboys extended the wrong player.
As a jets fan…i absolutely love Mosley and I believe he is the anchor of our defense
Say what? He’s always ranked near the bottom of LB’s
Packers signed their left tackle for 15 mill plus. Has played in a handful of games since the contract. Their are dozens of examples of this.
Never pay a running back
goff has one of the best contracts in the league you fool
jamal adams is one of the best safeties i don’t understand the hate for him😭
Hes constantly injured. Everybody in seattle loves him its just unfortunate.
All the 12s love the man and when him and diggs play together they are special
lol how is Russel Wilson's deal not in this..... cmon man
$72,000,000 NOW THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY
Ravens and that Flacco deal hurt us for years
ARE YOU PART OWNER//
@@tomeagen1039 Ravens Nation for life that's what I am. Are u interested in buying the team 🤣
The NFL hasn't seen a safty like Adams before that could get to the quarterback and be a disruption to an offense the entire game? Have you not heard of Troy Polamalu ?
Idk man. Goff looked better then Aaron Rodgers this year and Rodgers got paid 50m this year. I'd take that with a good team then a qb that is questionable every year
What!? They demand to get paid then their performance drops off after they do!!? Why, that’s never happened before…except for nearly every other time.
NFL overpaid execs: Repeat the same mistakes and then expect different results.
NFL players: Gotcha again…and again…and again…and again…
JuJu Smith-Schuster: I demand to get paid!
(To be continued)
This just proves that they do it for the money. Getting $70M+ sets you up for multiple lifetimes, so just play it safe until you're cut and enjoy the rest of your life in relative peace.
WR's are going to start going the way of the RB's when it comes to big FA paydays. These days, with the rules favoring offenses the way they do, teams can pick up a decent to very good WR in rounds 1-3 and milk that rookie deal until it runs out. If the guy is a stud, lock him up. If he's simply average to good, let some other team overpay and draft his replacement. FA is fools gold most of the time anyway. Teams don't typically let their foundation players reach FA until it comes time for a third contract and by then their best years are in the rearview mirror.
As for crap deals, I'm surprised Deshaun Watson didn't make this list. All that guaranteed money? That's going to keep Cleveland in salary cap hell for a long time. And what about Kyler Murray? I don't know how much of his deal is guaranteed but a five year deal worth 230 million for an immature QB who's under six feet tall? Goff looks like a bargain against those deals. I think Lamar Jackson is going to discover he has overvalued himself as well. He wants a ton of guaranteed money and it ain't gonna happen.
FA's are finishing pieces. So far Brad Holmes has a done a nice job not offering long-term deals with my team the Lions. Pay your guys first, then see what you can afford and what you need right now. That's his philosophy and I agree with it. I think it will pay off in the next couple years. The Lions are coming, and it's damn well about time because they have been overdue since the 1970s.
Why do any "sports team members" get paid that much anyway??? Stupid to watch. Thats what ESPN is for lol
I wish I got paid this "below salary" type of money. 😆😆😆😆 You think people say this just because they can't handle their money right? Zeke is a joke. 😆😆😆🤡 The only running back I've seen in this era play as hard as he did in college or in his first few seasons was Adrian Peterson. He didn't downfall much at all, even with him being at the end of his career with the skins. Smh. If smith didn't get hurt, the skins may have won a Superbowl.
A lot of these contracts are just bad luck (for the teams). When a young player is an all pro and one of the best at an impact position, how can you justify not paying them? If the alternative is shipping out a guy who seems likely to keep producing, you just have to suck it up and pay the guy.
You never know how any player will perform next year, but if Zeke Elliot walsk away and puts up 1600 yards per year then yeah, that's a huge mistake.
