The Most Underpaid Saint

Easy answer if you know the least bit about contracts and caps.
nice list
The former Miami Hurricane power forward earned second team All-Pro honors in 2011 after having one of the most prolific tight end seasons in NFL history (99 receptions, 1,310 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns). Graham has been slowed by an ankle injury this year but is still playing at a Pro Bowl level. The 2010 third round pick is under contract through the 2013 season on a four-year deal averaging $613,785 per year (including a $665,140 signing bonus). Graham will attempt to supplant Rob Gronkowski ($54 million, 6-year extension, $18.17 million in guarantees) as the NFL’s highest paid tight end on his next deal.
The virtual free ride will prolly be over after this season. We've discussed the mega cap run provided by Smith, Ellis, Vilma, and Harper. A chunk will be needed for the JG deal. Bushrod needs a new deal, go after some other OT, or draft one (unless Charles Brown busts out big this year).
Any of those other names look attractive? Atkins or Bowman would be killer but prolly too sky high to be affordable. I was down with getting Phillip Wheeler as a LB when he was available. He still might not be a back breaker cap-wise.

Dude is a beast. It's fun when you have a stud TE for your qb to fall back on for the tough yards. I'm gonna miss Gonzo next year.

Thomas Morstead?

Morstead got a new 7yr/$23mil deal last year. Puts him only behind Lechler in avg pay for punters if I recall correctly.

Debatable. Not sure of his specific numbers but at times he has looked pretty damn lazy out there with some of his catches. Pretty frustrating considering we all know his capabilities.

I hope they resolve his contract issue this off season.
HM: Brian de la Puente's salary = $540,000.00

I'm right behind you buddy. I'll be on it if I could get more reps with my current $125K per attempt rate.
