I think we overpaid him b/c of the pictures you posted. I don't think the market would have paid him that

Look how that is going for us in the kicker category.
We signed Hartley to a 5 year contract and took a 2+ million hit to cut him this season.
He made $2.7 million last year, and punters =/ kickers. At least Morstead has earned his money

Saints paid him because he is one of the best at doing what he did in those pictures, along with the touch backs on kickoffs and pinning opponents inside the 10 yard line on punts.
You will not find someone off the street that can do all that consistently....

Field position is extremely important to Payton and Morstead greatly affects that, especially with the new kick off rules and moon shot deep punts.
I do agree that $3m per is high for any part time player though. But at least he is one of the best at what he does.

And we have a good indication he will be playing like this for a long time so I'm fine with this kind of pay here as long they keep it under 3 million.
There's nothing wrong with paying for security a long term solution gets you.
