Eight NFL players that deserve huge raises

Derek Carr

Jarvis Landry, wide receiver, Miami Dolphins

Jarvis Landry

Over the course of 48 games, Landry has tallied 288 receptions for a total of 3,051 yards. His average catch rate is 71 percent. The fourth-year wideout, selected 63rd overall in 2014, stands to earn a piddly base salary of $893,852 this year.

Landry is playing out the final year of his $3.475 rookie deal. The Dolphins will need to offer him big-boy pay if they want to keep him around for years to come. Landry will likely be looking to receive more money than Miami recently paid Kenny Stills during the offseason. The Dolphins acquired Stills in a trade and then signed him to a four-year, $32 million deal in March.

If the Dolphins do not wish to splurge on Landry, many other teams would be quick to oblige.

Landry is one of the toughest guys in the league. And that 71 percent catch rate is pretty darn impressive. This will be the last season in a long time that Landry earns pennies on the dollar compared to his peers.
