3. Dre'Mont Jones, Seattle Seahawks — 3 years, $51.5 million
Over the two seasons prior to signing his new contract, Jones averaged two solo tackles per game, two assists, and half a sack. Those are rotational player numbers. You would expect those statistics from a guy who primarily plays special teams, and occasionally gets in on some defensive snaps. You would not expect somebody putting up those stats to get $17 million per year.
Though it would seem nearly impossible to underperform the last two seasons averages, in a 30-10 loss to the Rams, Jones racked up just two assists. The Seahawks gave up 426 yards of offense to Los Angeles. In a game where they needed a highly-paid defensive player to make a few stops, Dre'Mont Jones was no help at all.
