Something Funny I Found

Have you been watching in disbelief as crazy loot was tossed in the direction of mediocre players? You weren't the only one.

Tom Curran of NBCSports has put it all together in an Absurd Contract All Pro Team.

Check it out, it is pretty crazy seeing this all put together. Josh Brown made the list. And also, what is going on in Oak town? Al Davis is a few beers short of a six pack these days, huh.

UPDATE-- On the opposite side of the spectrum, see who KC Joyner thinks is underrated. Just......

Underrated

D.J. Hackett, WR: Hackett actually is still unsigned, so technically, he doesn't count as an underrated signing. But frankly, I am amazed some team hasn't snagged him. According to my estimations, Hackett is the second-best free-agent wide receiver on the market this offseason. I actually had him ranked in front of Berrian after doing a study of their YPA productivity over the past three years.

If you don't believe Hackett is better than Berrian, take a look at their total YPAs during this time:

Hackett vs. Berrian
Receiver Route Depth Att Comp Yds TD Int Pen Pen Yds YPA
Hackett Total 148 105 1,394 9 4 7 141 9.9
Berrian Total 236 135 1,972 11 14 4 115 8.7

Hackett played only six regular-season games in 2007, while Berrian started 15 games and played all 16. Despite this big difference in games played, Berrian still totaled only 552 more yards over the past three years.

Hackett didn't top Berrian in only overall YPA. Check out their individual route depth totals:

Receiver Route Depth Att Comp Yds TD Int Pen Pen Yds YPA
Hackett Short 94 72 635 1 2 2 13 6.8
Berrian Short 105 76 640 3 4 0 0 6.1

Hackett Medium 31 23 444 4 1 0 0 14.3
Berrian Medium 72 44 713 1 2 1 19 10.0

Hackett Deep/Bomb 23 10 315 4 1 5 128 15.8
Berrian Deep/Bomb 59 15 619 7 8 3 96 11.5

Hackett topped Berrian in YPA at every depth level and was nearly as productive overall -- even with the 10 games missed this past year. Playing in Seattle's pass-happy system certainly helped Hackett, but a 9.9 overall YPA is quite impressive, no matter the circumstances. Hackett has the highest upside of any free agent left on the market, regardless of position.
