NFL on ESPN: C.Johnson NFL most over paid player

Yes, our DE made the top of the list for over paid players. We will see what transpires down the road with his contract. They say his production does not justify his pay stub. What do you all think and what will happen after this season?

​He's making 20 mill this year.  Not a tremendous amount?  Huh?  

You can't just look at the worst cap hit on a six year deal. It's not his fault Hurney backloaded his contract. Over the course of his contract it averages 12.5 mil a year which is pretty much in line with what premier DEs make.

They didn't watch him play they only looked at his stats and pay then said this. He was hurt and had no one playing across from him last year and even the whole D slumped a bit, but by the end of the season I remember saying to myself that he is finally playing up to his pay check. If he keeps that up all season the 20 mil would be worth it.

You may have a point though I think he's played more like a 10mil per yr guy.

lol @ anyone that thinks he isn't vastly overpaid. this will be the last of the hurney blunders that we have to maneuver around.

He certainly benefitted from an artifically-inflated market when he hit FA, but I think the real crime was the awful structure moreso than the salary itself.

    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit. 
    • Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
