In 2007 the then St. Louis Rams took a huge chance on wide receiver Drew Bennett after one magical season in the NFL. The Tennessee Titans signed Bennett as an undrafted free agent in 2001. He played for the Titans until 2006, having a career year in 2004, catching 11 touchdowns and receiving for over 1,200 yards. Like we said, one very magical season! Two years later the Ram signed Bennett to a six-year contract worth $30 million, with $10 million guaranteed. That might not sound like a lot of money right now, but the salary cap was a measly $109 million back then.
