Nnamdi Asomugha got 12 million per year. Johnathan Joseph got just under 10 million per year. Antonio Cromartie was overpaid a bit with 8 million per year. Now Ike Taylor gets 7 million per year. Taylor is 31 and might not even be starting caliber if it wasn’t for the Steelers scheme, front 7, and Troy Polamalu. I have no idea why they overpaid him like this. It’s not like them. I know their pass defense isn’t very good, but I’m not sure it would have gotten a ton worse if Taylor had left because he’s not all that great. The only thing that saves this deal from being an F is that only 9 million over the 28 million over 4 is guaranteed so they didn’t guarantee a ton of this deal.
