Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson got himself a big contract last year. His 2014 wasn't his best year. He had up-and-down play and had health issues -- an ankle injury, a head injury and diabetes. The result is landing himself on a list that is both good and bad. He is on an ESPN list of the most overpaid veterans in the NFL.
Peterson is number six on the list and using some calculation, he is being paid $9.2 million more than his actual value (according to the Jahnke Value Model).
Peterson was rewarded with a contract extension after an excellent 2013 campaign.
