19. Terrell Suggs – $88,170,000

Suggs, 31, has been a mainstay on the Baltimore Ravens defense since they made the former Arizona State Sun Devils defensive end their first pick (1oth overall) in the 2003 draft.

As one of the premier outside linebackers in a 3-4 scheme, Suggs entered the 2014 season with 94.5 career sacks, 25 forced fumbles, 12 fumble recoveries and seven interceptions.

His contract runs through the 2018 season so it is likely the  four-year $20.7 million deal he signed that included an $11 million signing bonus and $16 in guaranteed money is his last big payday.

When Suggs finally retires, the Ravens defense we came to know and respect will be gone with Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Suggs and likely Haloti Ngata off that once dominant unit.

Next: Andre Johnson
