William Moore, safety, Falcons: $839,000
Sherrod Martin, safety, Panthers: $806,000
Mason Foster, linebacker, Buccaneers: $696,000
Akeem Dent, linebacker, Falcons: $691,000
Brandon LaFell, wide receiver, Panthers: $652,000
Captain Munnerlyn, cornerback, Panthers: $649,000
Corey Peters, defensive tackle, Falcons: $639,250
Jimmy Graham, tight end, Saints: $613,785

Good Jesus, Jimmy Graham is the most underpaid player I've seen in the last 10 years. When is his current contract up?

2014.

He gets a little bump next year to $700,000, iirc.

Should be making a hell of a lot more.

Edit: I did not recall correctly. Graham is gonna make over 1 million next year.

No doubt. To compare, Akeem Dent is making more than Graham and Dent hasn't really proved anything yet in the NFL.
William Moore making 839k to be that bad at safety makes me cry inside...

Why do I get the feeling a franchise tag is in his future?

Pretty sure they will re-negotiate his contract before he becomes a FA.

a franchise tag would be somewhere around 6 million dollars.

I would love to lock Graham up long-term asap.

Definitely a great bargain, but I think I read somewhere that Clay Matthews will only make like $800k this year, so it isn't unheard of for these young guys to make a relatively low amount their first couple of years. I do still think Graham is more of a bargain though.

Jimmy is breesessed. He will be back in black and gold as long as we have our HOF QB.

Bargains like Graham will be commonplace with the rookie scale how it is now

That's why I love finding steals in the draft

Matthews was a 1st round pick. If he is only making 800k this season it's probably cause he had a size able signing bonus

I would argue that some of those guys are not bargains. Aquib talib is a problem. Mason foster may not be in that lineup next year.
