13. $2.1M---C A.Q. Shipley (#17 C)
Notes:
* Did you realize that the Cardinals are scheduled to pay 8 player Top 10 $$$ at their positions in 2018?
* When you look at where the players are salary-wise versus the top paid players at their positions, it becomes more difficult to justify the salaries, with the exception of OLB Chandler Jones.
Justifiable Salaries:
1. WR Larry Fitzgerald---legends deserve to be paid coming off another fabulous season.
2. OLB Chandler Jones---coming off best season as pro.
3. CB Patrick Peterson---talent is obvious.
4. S Antoine Bethea---coming off one of his best seasons.
Questionable Salaries:
1. Tryann Mathieu---coming off two mediocre seasons in a row.
2. Jared Veldheer---may need a $2-3M adjustment, coming off solid season.
3. Mike iupati---will need to accept a significant pay cut and could be willing.
4. Deone Bucannon---two sub-par seasons in a row, not worthy of top ILB money.
5. Jermaine Gresham---being paid as a top 10 TE is unfathomable.
6. Phil Dawson---might be worth the salary this time around.
7. Josh Mauro---coming off sub par season at a position where the team has depth.
8. Adrian Peterson---coming off neck injury, can he accept a secondary role?
9. A.Q. Shipley---his salary is reasonable if he remains a starter, but should the team get younger at C?
