5 overhyped NFL free agents bound to be overpaid
  • 7 years ago
Alshon Jeffery —Make no mistake about it, Jeffery is a superb talent, but he's injury plagued and he also served a four-game suspension in 2016 for PEDs. Dontari Poe —Poe will be a coveted player this offseason due to his physical traits alone. However, the Chiefs' defensive tackle is coming off of a disappointing season and is best suited for a 3-4 defense. Kirk Cousins —It's hard to argue with the fact that Cousins has guided the Redskins to the playoffs and that he can rack up big yardage, but he's not worth the $22-24 million he will be paid. Martellus Bennett —Being a key cog on a Super Bowl-winning team has its perks, like the tremendous possibility of signing a lucrative contract in the offseason, despite turning 30 in a month. Stephon Gilmore — Gilmore has lacked consistency over the last two seasons, following a productive 2014 campaign opposite then-rookie Ronald Darby.
