No one cares unless you copy and paste from the article. You forget, everyone on here is lazy.

Linebacker: Will Smith, Saints
Contract Flaw: Falling in Love With a Player They Shouldn't Have
The Saints have been forever waiting for Will Smith to emerge as an upper-echelon pass rusher, but like the other Will Smith, the football version might be five years past his prime. Smith has only two seasons with double-digit sacks on his résumé through seven years as a full-time starter, and he has averaged a mere 7.8 sacks per 16 games as a pro. Now he'll move to outside linebacker with New Orleans's push into the 3-4, so you can add "inexperienced" to the list of issues with Smith's six-year, $61.4 million contract extension from 2008.

Safety: Roman Harper, Saints
Contract Flaw: Falling in Love With a Player They Shouldn't Have
Harper is a pretty good strong safety in terms of run blitzing and attacking the line of scrimmage. He's an absolute disaster when he's not sprinting toward the line at the snap. Nobody was worse in pass coverage last year, as teams spent the season picking on Harper with their running backs, tight ends, and combination routes. Harper was in the middle of a four-year deal with $16 million guaranteed before restructuring this offseason; he's got $4 million guaranteed over the next three seasons with a max of $10.5 million in salary, but he might very well be benched for first-round pick Kenny Vaccaro and leave New Orleans after this year.

Dude has perfect form. Rotates the hand after the point of contact and everything. Should do a sports science segment.

"Jamaal slap registers a whopping 3400 pounds per square inch. That's equivalent to the force used to lift the trunk of an adult male elephant."

good find, appreciate writers who actually do some research!
Most here thought letting Bushmaster walk was the right move. Ditto Meachem last year. He made the team as a WR...
Wide Receiver: Robert Meachem, Chargers
Wide Receiver: Eddie Royal, Chargers
Contract Flaw: System Guy Out of System (Meachem), Paying for the Outlier (Royal)
San Diego's dip into the free-agent market for wideouts last year proved to be disastrous. In 25 games between the two of them, Meachem and Royal produced 37 catches for 441 yards and three touchdowns. Total. Meachem might have looked better in the old San Diego downfield passing attack when it actually gave Philip Rivers time to throw, but Meachem's $14 million guaranteed is basically a sunk cost now. Royal got only $6 million guaranteed and could have a more meaningful role if San Diego moves to a short passing game, but he has to make the roster first.
