When it comes to the most overpaid players in the NFL, there’s no question Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin ranks near the top of that list when comparing his contract to lack of production from last season. For reasons that can’t be explained, the former first-round pick out of West Virginia received a hefty $42 million extension ($30 million in guarantees) from the Rams last year, and thanks to a recent series of tweets, it’s hard not to wonder if the team asked Austin to take a pay cut.
A few days ago, Austin posted an interesting message on Twitter about never dropping the price once someone discovers the value, which plenty of Rams fans obviously had a field day with.
