Most overpaid NFL player at every position

The Ravens are taking a cap hit of nearly $25 million from Flacco in 2018, fourth highest in the NFL, yet fans can't wait to see him depart. He had only 3,141 yards passing and 18/13 TD/INT last season, and Baltimore drafted Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson in the first round to be his successor.

Murray filled in adequately last season after rookie Dalvin Cook got injured, but he still lacked consistency with less than four yards per carry. The former Raider also lacks great versatility as a receiver, yet he counts $5.2 million against the cap this season, 10th most at his position. Minnesota hopes he does more sitting behind Cook this season.

Juszczyk blew away the fullback pay scale when he signed a four-year, $21 million deal with the 49ers before last season. With a cap hit of more than $4.4 million, he makes almost double that of the second-highest-paid fullback. No matter how much he helps the 49ers, it's clear they overpaid.

At his best, Cobb is a true playmaker, but that hasn't been the case over the last few seasons. He's averaged around 10 yards per reception over the last three years, among the worst at his position, and had just 66 receptions for 653 yards and four scores in 15 games during 2017. However, he's the eighth-highest-paid wideout against the cap this year, making nearly $12.8 million.

When the Bucs signed Jackson last season, they thought he'd take the lid off the defense and make star Mike Evans even more effective. Neither scenario occurred. Jackson regressed from a 1,000-yard season with Washington in 2016 to just 668 yards on 50 receptions last year in Tampa Bay. However, Jackson counts $11 million against the cap this season, 12th most in the league at wideout.

Gersham signed a four-year deal with Arizona before last season and will count more than $7.2 million against the cap this year, seventh most at his position. However, Gresham was last a major receiving asset in 2012 and had only 33 receptions for 322 yards and two scores last year. Arizona should have saved its money on a different blocking tight end.

Glenn has struggled to stay on the field over the last two seasons due to injuries, playing 17 games combined for the Bills. Cincinnati was still desperate enough to acquire him from Buffalo in the offseason, hoping that he can show better durability at age 29. Glenn's $11.25 million cap hit is the eighth most among left tackles, so the Bengals are taking a huge risk on his health.

Desperate for help at right tackle last season, Denver signed Watson to a lucrative two-year deal to be its starter. He played only seven games due to a foot injury and could be pushed to guard after the team's offseason moves. But he's set to make nearly $7.2 million, ranking fifth most among right tackles in 2018.

The entire Jets offensive line struggled last season, Winters included. He played only 13 games for the second straight year, and the Jets ranked tied for the seventh most sacks allowed. Still, Winters will count $7 million against the cap this year, tied for 11th most among guards.

Winters' teammate also struggled on the Jets line last season, though he did manage to play all 16 games for the third straight year. His $6.8 million cap hit is 13th highest among guards.

A five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, Kalil has seen better days. He hasn't been able to stay on the field over the last two seasons, combining to play only 14 games. Counting $9.9 million against the cap in 2018, Kalil is the fourth most expensive center in the league.

The Jags did finally get some significant production out of Fowler in his third year since getting drafted with eight sacks, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. However, Fowler was mainly a passing down specialist and benefited from one of the most talented defensive line groups in the league. His cap hit of nearly $7.5 million ranks 20th most among defensive ends, which is a huge commitment for a situational player.

Gholston was rewarded with a five-year contract before last season, but he was an absolute dud in his first year of the contract. He failed to get even one sack, and the Bucs added Jason Pierre-Paul and Vinny Curry in the offseason to replace him. Gholston will still count $6.5 million against the cap, tied for 26th among defensive ends.

Lotulelei became Buffalo's highest paid player in the offseason after signing a five-year, $50 million contract, but it's unclear why the Bills spent so much. The former Panther takes up a lot of space but isn't a factor as a pass rusher with only 1.5 sacks last season and just 25 tackles in 16 games. He counts only $6.7 million against the cap in 2018, 14th most among defensive tackles, but that's a hefty sum for the likely return.

The last Browns front office regime acquired Collins from New England and extended him, much to the detriment of the new front office. At more than $12.1 million this year, his cap hit is the seventh most at his position, but he played only six games last year due to injury. Even at his best, Collins had only 5.5 sacks in 2015.

The Chiefs struggled to get to the quarterback last season, and much of their issues were due to Ford's injured back. He played only six games and had two sacks, and his past play has also been inconsistent with many nagging injuries. Ford is set to count more than $8.7 million against the cap in a walk year, 16th most expensive among outside linebackers.

A converted safety, Bucannon was a tackling machine in his sophomore year. Unfortunately, he's regressed over the last two years, sliding to 82 tackles in 12 games last year. Now in his fifth year, Bucannon will count more than $8.7 million against the cap in 2018, tied for fourth most among inside linebackers.

Often maligned in Dallas, Claiborne joined the Jets last season and had his share of struggles in 15 games. He slots in as the 24th-highest cap hit among cornerbacks in 2018, making nearly $7 million.

Verrett has proved capable when he's on the field, but those occasions are few and far between. After making the Pro Bowl in 2015, he played four games in 2016, one game in 2017 and is set to miss all of 2018 with a torn Achilles suffered early in training camp. His cap hit for the Chargers is more than $8.5 million, tied for 16th at the cornerback position.

A utility safety for the Chiefs, Sorensen was extended before last season but really struggled when thrust into regular action after Eric Berry was injured in Week 1. He's set to see less playing time this year but is still the 22nd-highest-paid safety in the league with a $5.3 million cap hit.

Crosby will count $5.25 million against the cap in 2018 for the Packers, the most of any kicker. However, he's made only 80 percent of his field-goal attempts during his career and missed that mark last season, putting his accuracy in the bottom one-third of the league.

At $3.2 million, Seattle's cap hit at punter is the third highest in the NFL this year with Ryan. However, Ryan's performance was far from elite last season, as Seattle's net punt average of 40.1 yards was third worst in the NFL, and he pinned only 29 of 92 punts inside the 20-yard line.
