25. Haloti Ngata, DL, Baltimore Ravens – $8.5 million

Ngata makes $8.5 million in base salary this season in the third year of a four-year deal worth $48.52 million.

Long considered one of the top defensive lineman in the NFL, the former first round pick has been a perennial Pro Bowl player since the Ravens drafted him out of Oregon in the 2006 NFL Draft.

Ngata has been selected to the Pro Bowl five consecutive years and was named an All-Pro each year from 2008-2012 where his versatility to play defensive end, defensive tackle and nose tackle made the 6-4, 340-pound lineman one of the toughest matchups in the trenches in all the NFL.

Through two games this season, Ngata has two combined tackles and one athletic interception for the 1-1 Ravens.

Do you think he’s worth the money?
