Does Marcus Williams deserve to be the highest-paid safety in the NFL?

The New Orleans Saints are in a pickle. In fact, they have been in a financial pickle for the last four years, as they pushed all their chips to the middle of the table to try and win that elusive second Lombardi trophy. They restructured contracts, signed expensive free agents (Malcolm Jenkins, Janoris Jenkins), extended Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara, and expensive and controversial guard/tackle Andrus Peat. Doing so left them a gazillion dollars over the cap. In fac, the Saints have, by a fairly wide margin, the worst cap situation in the entire NFL as you can see here, courtesy of Spotrac.
