Forbes: Vernon Davis #9 most overpaid player in NFL

Jcool · 2012-09-20T11:00:38-07:00

#1.) David Harris of the New York Jets, $12 million #2.) Karlos Dansby of the Miami Dolphins, $10.7 million #3.) Johnathan Joseph of the Houston Texans, $9.75 million #4.) Marcedes Lewis of the Jacksonville Jaguars, $9.6 million #5.) Santonio Holmes of the New York Jets, $9.25 million #6.) DeAngelo Williams of the Carolina Panthers, $8.7 million #7.) Antonio Cromartie of the New York Jets, $8.25 million #8.) Sidney Rice of the Seattle Seahawks, $8.2 million #9.) Vernon Davis of the San Francisco 49ers, $8 million #10.) Darren McFadden of the Oakland Raiders, $7.8 million "Tight end had 78 receptions and 13 TDs in his 2009 Pro Bowl season. Didn't approach those numbers in any of his other five seasons." http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomvanriper/2012/09/17/the-nfls-most-overpaid-players-2/ I think this sums it up the best: ESPN Stats & Info &rlm;@ESPNStatsInfo @VernonDavis85, Forbes says you're No. 9 overrated player in NFL. Did they know that since 2009 u have 29 TD, tied for most by NFL TE?

Forbes is now immediately un-credible for any further thing it says.

Vernon does not belong on that list. But putting that knee-jerk reaction aside...'

Neither should Johnathan Joseph be listed, he's pretty damn awesome. But other than that (and assuming that they're looking at QBs separately, which they should) it's actually not a bad list. Some pretty astute picks in my opinion, aside from Vernon and Joseph.

Big dollars to an injury-prone RB make McFadden's inclusion defensible, in my opinion. That's where Forbes comment about Davis (getting paid for only putting out one good year) actually applies.

lmao, He is not overpaid, he is right at his slot, maybe looking at an extension, since he is signed through 2015. Plus Davis is Alex's key weapon along with new emerger Crabtree.

One tidbit, I find it funny, Zach Miller, making 9M, isn't considered overpaid, he hasn't done crap for Seattle.
