The NFL's most outsize contracts: 20 players with bloated deals (19. Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions - Three-year compensation: $87 million (30.4 percent over baseline): As a No. 1 overall draft pick under the old rookie system, Stafford entered the league on a six-year, $72 million deal with $41.7 million in guarantees. The deals handed to Stafford, Ndamukong Suh and Calvin Johnson were so onerous that the Lions had to restructure Stafford's rookie deal twice and give him a three-year, $53 million extension with three years left to go on that rookie contract. After four years of that contract, the Lions were staring down the final year of Stafford's deal with little leverage and had to give him a five-year, $135 million deal to stick around. Stafford has made the Pro Bowl once, and that was as a replacement in 2014 for Peyton Manning. He's obviously a good quarterback, and this isn't to say the 30-year-old Georgia product has been greedy or selfish in negotiating with the Lions. Because of where and when Stafford was drafted, though, the Lions have been behind the eight ball in paying him like a superstar for virtually his entire career.): http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24107215/nfl-20-most-outsized-contracts-adjusting-position-2018
NFL's best bargain contracts: The underpaid and the overachieving (14. Golden Tate: years, $31 million, $14.25 million guaranteed - Tate had a breakout year in 2013 with the Seahawks right before he entered free agency. Teams back then were more cautious with receivers, which allowed the Lions to pounce on a deal worth just more than $6 million per season. In his four years with the Lions, Tate has had three 1,000-yard seasons. He underpaid by at least $5 million per season.): http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/list/nfl-best-contracts-bargains-aaron-rodgers-packers-gronk-patriots/nkbdsupo61aj1guz2cskv34e9/slide/19
