Without even looking at the lists, you just know the Pats will have some of the best bargains. They do--two. And the Redskins would have some of the worst contracts. They do--two also. Jets have three on the worst contract list.

My Philly Eagles have an uncanny ability to get good young players for cheap contracts and always seem to know when to get get rid of veteran players right before they tank into oblivion. It always seems to drive the fan base crazy but when they look back at it a couple of years later it's like "oh that's why they get rid of so and so".

I agree, the Pats always seem to know how to get good deals as well and the Redskins are always the opposite.

 
I don't understand the Flacco one. They act as if he isn't a terrible QB. The Sanchez and Kolb ones are comically bad.
