In a recent ranking of the worst contracts on each of the 32 NFL teams, Jason Fitzgerald of Sporting News claims the Philadelphia Eagles have overpaid for DT Timmy Jernigan. Fitzgerald has Jernigan ranked No. 16 among the most overpaid players in the league.
Jernigan’s situation is a little different than some of the others on Fitzgerald’s list — which includes players like Washington TE Jordan Reed and Baltimore QB Joe Flacco — with a back injury sidelining the DT just months after signing a new 4-year, $48 million deal, including $25.
