Biggest FA bust of all time

Recommended Posts

Heard this topic on espn radio late sat. Immediately though of Rick Mirer, with the doors come on baby start my fire > > come on wanny start r mirer.

 

Should include:

Peerless Price

 

DB from Dallas who picked off odonnel twice in the SB

 

Maybe even Jake Plummer

 

Thoughts?

 

Also what is the best site for updaded free agent movement?

I assume you are taking about his stint in Atlanta. He was traded to Atlanta for a 1st (!) round pick, not a free agent.

Pat Swilling- the Lions traded a top draft pick for him that could of been used on Willie Roaf while they had Barry. Swilling did nothing!

Not technically a FA, but for all intents and purposes.

 

Buffalo had franchised him, Price and Atlanta agreed to a contract, and the Bills gave up the rights for a 1st rounder.

Alvin Harper, # 2 WR on the first two Cowboys championship teams of the 90's. Signed with the Bucs back when they had their creamsicle uniforms and did nothing for the remainder of his career.

 

Andre Rison signing with the Browns

 

Joey Porter with the Dolphins (just a huge waste of human life)

 

Pretty much every Redskins signing the past 10 years

 

Eric Green, TE and Steve Emtman, DE (sp?) with the Dolphins

 

Culpepper with the Dolphins

 

Jevon Kearse, Eagles

 

Hugh Douglas, Jaguars

 

Neil O'Donnel, Jets

From recent memory

 

2007 winners - Ahman Green, Dominic Rhodes , Tatum Bell, Drew Bennett, and Trent Green

 

2006 winners - Brandon Lloyd, Antwaan Randle El, David Givens and maybe the all-time winner considering the amount of money they spent on him - NATE BURLESON.

FYI, Burleson's 7yr. 49mil. contract was just posturing after the Futch poison pill deal.

 

It was all backloaded with only 5mil. in guarantees. His contract is more like 4yrs. 13mil.

Yeah I forgot that - but even that is too much money.

2007 winners - Tatum Bell,

 

I think he was acquired via trade (for Dre Bly) actually. However, an article in Sunday's Detroit News says that the Lions are interested in bringing him back for 2008...which makes him a frontrunner for the 2008 version of this award.

That DB would be Larry Brown and he is the no.1 bust in my book but his 2007 twin has to be Jason David
