Joseph

9 missed games (8 seasons)
2 Pro Bowls
1 team (Texans)
14 INT's
105 passes defensed

Hall

40 missed games (8 seasons)
0 Pro Bowls
4 teams (Bengals, Giants, 49ers, Raiders, currently a free agent again)
9 INT's
47 passes defensed

Not that Joseph is making $10 million anymore...but if you just look at his production under the contract he signed in 2011, he made 2 Pro Bowls, has 12 INT's, 74 passes defensed. He earned the contract.

Yea I still think Joseph was worth paying at the time. This is when I first realized the "keep our own" philosophy was just a bullshit excuse to not spend in free agency.
