Aaron Donald recently received (essentially) a new contract from the Rams making the DT the highest paid non-QB in the league.

But is he worthy of that type of respect (financially, or otherwise)?

Here are the current top-10 highest paid NFL players:

1) Aaron Rodgers
2) Patrick Mahomes
3) Josh Allen
4) Dak Prescott
5) Deshaun Watson
6) Russell Wilson
7) Jared Goff
8) Kirk Cousins
9) Carson Wentz
10) Aaron Donald

Two questions:

1) Assume you were the GM of an NFL expansion team and league rules allowed you to select ANY current player off of an existing team. Also assume that the owner of the team has told you that they want an immediate return on their investment (i.e. Super Bowl appearance within two seasons). Where does Aaron Donald fall in your list?

2) Would Aaron Donald even be the top defensive player on your list?
