Julian Edelman signed a new deal, but he is somehow still grossly underpaid. Edelman’s contract extension is two years averaging $9 million per year. Factor in the last year in his current deal, and it’s $ 21 million over the next three years for the Patriots most important wide receiver. The following wideouts make more than Julian Edelman per year:
Odell Beckham, Jr.
Antonio Brown
Mike Evans
DeAndre Hopkins
Brandin Cooks
Adam Thielen
Sammy Watkins
Jarvis Landry
A.J. Green
Davante Adams
Stefon Diggs
Julio Jones
Allen Robinson
TY Hilton
Alshon Jeffery
Keenan Allen
Tyrell Williams
Emmanuel Sanders
Larry Fitzgerald
Tyler Lockett
Sterling Shepard
Devin Funchess
Jamison Crowder
Golden Tate
Quincy Enunwa
DeSean Jackson
Adam Humphries
John Brown
And those wide receivers all make at least $9 million on the average annual value on their contracts. If we use the $7 million over the next three years, well then it adds names like:
Marqise Lee
Kenny Stills
Paul Richardson
Albert Wilson
Cole Beasley
Marvin Jones
That’s 33 wide receivers making more than the Super Bowl MVP.
