Physical & Financial Hit

Many free agents around the league ended up signing one year contracts with the hope of having a big season and cashing in next year. It's a risk, but sometimes the only option for them.

TE Justin Keller left the New York Jets after five seasons with the hope of hitting a financial jackpot. Instead, he ended up with a one year/$4.25 million contract with the Miami Dolphins.

Keller was projected to be an important part of the Dolphins offense this season. It all came to an end during Saturday's preseason game at Houston after taking a legal helmet hit to his right knee. He was carted off the field with what the Dolphins called a severe injury. His season appears to be over.

His market value next year will be much less. He will probably end up signing for the veteran minimum if he even gets an offer. It was a very expensive injury for Keller.
