I believe the Bears need to figure a way how to pay Hester based on the production he's had as a Bear, and not his position. You gotta think about it, the guy lead the team in total touchdowns! And he's done it with way less time on the field than other players. He had more total touchdowns last year than Muhammad and Clark combined! And many of the touchdowns and field goals the Bears scored where a direct result of the field position Hester gives the Bears, even when teams kick away from him. When you look at the production on most special teams, you can probably hope you get maybe 2-3 touchdowns a year, AS A TEAM. Hester did six by HIMSELF, and the next closest TEAM was the Texans with four. That's still a 50% increase on their TEAM special teams' touchdown production. That number is insane!
Let's forget all this talk about Hester not being a proven #1 wide receiver and he shouldn't be paid as such. The whole purpose of having a #1 wide receiver is so that the guy can go out and score TOUCHDOWNS, which Hester did more of than any member of the Bears team, including the $42 million man Bernard Berrian, who only scored five touchdowns. If that's worth $42 million, then what are Hester's eight touchdowns worth?
Hester scored as many total touchdowns last year as Chad Johnson, Wes Welker, Chris Cooley, & Santonio Holmes, who are all FULL TIME PLAYERS, who ALL make more money than Hester. Now that Hester will become a full time player, he should be paid accordingly, and who out there doubts that with more time on the field will come more touchdowns for Devin Hester?
One more stat for you Bears Junkies to chew on: There were 30 total kick and punt return touchdowns scored in the entire NFL last season, and Hester had six of them, meaning 1 in 5 special team touchdowns was scored by Hester, and that's lopsided, especially since there are 30 NFL teams. Just pay Hester and get on with camp, people!!
