Adrian Wilson is one seriously overpaid mutherf**ker. Giving a safety that much money is insanity.

Cue the people who are going to see these and make assumptions believing these are yearly averages.

A lot of these that seem inflated are so because guys received bonuses this year. Ex: Athyba Rubin is not the top paid DT, but signed an extension last year which included a bonus this year, thus the highest salary for 2012.

This thread reaffirms the great job that our Front Office has done. We have arguably the most talented roster in the NFL from top to bottom, and we have very few players who rank in the top 10 paid at their respective positions. Just a great job of determining the player's value and paying them accordingly.

LOL @ the Bucs committing $22 million on 2 guards. I'm also shocked to see how much Zach Miller, Atyhba Rubin, and Calvin Pace make.

I think willis salary is heavy upfront then drops to like 12 mill. I could and probably am wrong. Also if I recall didn't Andy lee make a fuss about getting a new contract like 3 years ago. Did he get it or no? He should easily be up there

Willis' numbers drop by like 3M a yr after 2012 thanks to the redo of his deal.

Lee hasn't asked for a new deal since he signed his RFA offer from the Steelers in 2006 or 2007, it was a 6yr deal, and he should be paid top 5 Punter money,
