Every year Bleacher Report lists every team’s most overpaid player. According to them, the most overpaid player on the Chicago Bears is Trey Burton. To be honest, I cannot disagree with Bleacher Report on this one. Burton is clearly the right answer here.
Burton signed a four year, $32 million dollar contract, of which $22 million was guaranteed. Going into the 2020 season, Burton is set to make the sixth-most amount of money in AAV among tight ends. Last season, Burton was paid $8.55 million dollars. I wanted to use the word earned, but really he did not earn a dime.
