    On his fourth team in five years, Robinson signed a 1-year $685,000 with Dallas just before the start of the season. His role grew after an injury sidelined a starter and allowed him to become a key Red Zone target, as he hauled in a team-high 11 touchdowns and recorded 54 receptions for 858 yards.

    wide receiver New York

    Earning $405,000 in 2011, Cruz began the season as New York’s fourth wide receiver until key injuries to starters led to a larger role. In week 16, Cruz eclipsed a franchise single-season receiving record. He finished the season with 82 receptions for 1,536 receiving yards (third-most in the league) and a team-high 9 touchdowns.

    tight end New England

    With a base pay of $405,000 in 2011, Gronkowski enjoyed a break-out year setting the single-season record for both receiving yards and touchdowns scored by a tight end. Gronkowski ended the season with 90 receptions for 1,327 yards and 17 receiving touchdowns. In addition, he was voted a starter for his conference’s All-Pro team.

    Earning $580,500 of base pay in 2011, Bowman led San Francisco in total tackles with 143 and racked up 111 solo tackles (most in his conference). Bowman anchored a league-best defensive squad that allowed the fewest rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, helping the team to their first division title since 2002.

    Forte

    Running Back Chicago

    On pace to have the most yards from scrimmage prior to his season-ending injury in week 13, Forte earned $555,000 in base pay for 2011. He recorded 52 receptions for 490 yards (third most of all running backs), and rushed for nearly 1,000 yards.
