9. Cody Ceci
Contract: $4.5M x four years

I’m going to say something that may come across as controversial from someone who primarily focuses on analytics: Cody Ceci got a bad rep throughout most of his career.
I know, I know, we’re all trying to find the guy who did this.

Ceci certainly qualifies.
