If you're going Strictly off the Total amount Possibly lost, the Answer Starts and Ends with Vick! From the $100M contract that was null in void, to the Millions in Endorsements also lost!

Now while the Money back in the day pails in comparison to Todays Athlete,  I'd go Dexter Manely before Josh Gordan as well.

It wasn’t Aaron Hernandez’s fault he had antisocial personality disorder and was raised in an environment of crime. He had mental illness...so it’s not his fault

Seriously dude, these are the dumbest posts I’ve seen in NFL General and that takes that some effort. 

The title of the thread is ‘Guys who lost money for reasons they can control’, the point is Josh Gordon has not been able control his drug addiction (for whatever reason) – I’m not defending his reasons for doing so. It’s not that hard.

IMO Tom Brady.

Contracts and outside money. He never exploited his Name. He should of went the Manning route put his name on everything.  Gronk is doing it however the people guiding him are idiots. He's a clown and they should keep him off of live TV. Gronks  act will grow old quick if it hasn't all ready. Who idea was to expose him on new years eve!!!

PS This is not a knock on Manning. Max your dollars until you can't. MJ did it right.

I was just coming back to make an argument for Brady, but on contracts alone.

He's playing to a specific demographic. If you're not the type to chug White Claw by the case, then you're not part of the demographic.
