NFL's All-Overpaid, All-Underpaid Teams
Here's some more bad news for Al Davis:
The Oakland Raiders aren't eligible for a government bailout.
At 3-10, Davis' franchise is out of playoff contention despite a wild off-season spending spree. Three Oakland players-wide receiver Javon Walker, safety Michael Huff and defensive tackle Tommy Kelly-as well as ex-Raiders cornerback DeAngelo Hall are on FOXSports.com's All-Overpaid team for 2008.
Conversely, Tampa Bay is tied with New England for the most players (three) on our All-Underpaid squad. Not only are both clubs still in the playoff hunt, the Buccaneers and Patriots are among the NFL's most frugal franchises.
According to USA Today , the 2008 payrolls for Tampa Bay ($104.3 million) and New England ($92.7 million) rank 23rd and 30th respectively. Oakland leads the league at $152.4 million-providing further proof that no team can buy a Super Bowl title.
