Every NFL Team's Most Overpaid Player
DOUG FARRAR
Los Angeles Rams: DL Ndamukong Suh
Contract: One year, $14 million
At Ndamukong Suh's peak with the Detroit Lions in the early part of this decade, it could be argued he was the game's most dominant defensive player and certainly one of the most impactful defensive tackles of his generation. He was one of the rare players who dominated in college and then made his professional opponents look like so many college kids.
But when the Miami Dolphins signed him to a six-year, $114 million contract in 2015, they unfortunately replicated Washington's disastrous Albert Haynesworth signing
in 2009 by making Suh the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history and moving him from an attack 1-gap player to a more reactive 2-gap lineman. That didn't last a season, but Suh's production has decreased in sacks, tackles for loss and quarterback hits over the last three years.
Miami cut ties with Suh on March 12, and the Rams swooped in and
signedhim to a one-year, $14 million guaranteed contract. In Wade Phillips' defense, Suh will most likely play a hybrid role on base downs and tackle when the Rams move to their nickel and dime units.
Pairing Suh with Aaron Donald will give the former a ton of one-on-one opportunities and align him with the defensive tackle who took his title as Best in the Business. But though Suh is still a prime run defender, doling out this much cash even over one season will look like an overpayment if he can't re-create his production from the early 2010s. Because if he can't do it in this scenario, it's hard to argue he'll be able to do it anywhere.
