Las Vegas Raiders — Chandler Jones
Base Salary: $16,000,000
A lot went wrong for the Raiders in their first year under HC Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler. Among the worst developments was the decline of Chandler Jones. He inked a three-year/$51 million contract prior to the ’22 season. Jones was expected to relieve some pressure off opposite-side edge rusher Maxx Crosby. Instead, Jones endured the worst season of his career as he registered just 4.5 sacks (3.0 of which occurred in one game). Jones’ play prompted Vegas to spend their first-round pick on another pass rusher (Tyree Wilson) instead of its leaky offensive line.
