The New England Patriots may value one member of their practice squad a bit more than others.
Safety Obi Melifonwu is reportedly making $645,000 to remain on the practice squad, which amounts to a weekly salary of $37,941, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss.
The 25-year-old was released Monday in order to make room for newly-acquired Antonio Brown, but was re-signed Wednesday after clearing waivers. Melifonwu ultimately couldn't land a roster spot, and that's no surprise considering he had to compete against the likes of Patrick Chung, Duron Harmon and Devin McCourty.
