AngusMcFife Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Off the top of my head, for Ravens I'll go: Elvis Grbac Earl Thomas (he did play well for 1 year) Joe Flacco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INbengalfan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Easy one for the Bengals... 1. Antonio Bryant. Signed for nearly 30 mill. Somehow passed the signing physical, but "injured" twenty minutes into the first camp practice. never played a down. Mike Brown avoided free agency for a few years following, as if every FA somehow was injured or something stupid. 2. Trae Waynes Agreed to terms during COVID, but since his agent advised him to not even work out until the ink met paper, he did nothing. Then tore his pec during an after practice lifting session. Became injured the whole time he was here. 3. Preston Brown Brought the hometown kid home for a three year deal. Was an out of date player here. Marvin never seemed to adjust his prototype. Needless to say, it didn't work out. He got cut mid year two. Honorable Mention Gus Frerotte Anyone trying to throw left handed to avoid a sack, only to turn it into a pick six should vbe barred permanently from the league. After he left, his play did it anyway. Laverneus Coles We are great at drafting WRs. We suck at bringing them in as top end free agents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree, but I think the spirit of the thread is free agents that weren’t home grown. Your first two certainly came to mind for me as well. I’ll go: 1. Elvis Grbac- Sucked and was hyped to be the guy to finally solve our QB woes. 2. Lee Evans- No durability and then dropped a crucial TD that would’ve put our “destiny team” above the Pats with little time left in the game. Might’ve completed the run a year early. 3. Earl Thomas- Was a prick, talked a big game, embarrassed the squad, cost a penny, and then got used as Henry’s FB come playoff time. HM: Billy Cundiff- Wide left, only reason he’s not higher is he’s a kicker, he was actually pretty good the year prior, and as a kicker the mistake didn’t cost much monetarily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Kenny Golladay, Nate Solder, Lavar Arrington. HMs to the other 2018 disasters who Dave Gettleman signed for way more money than they'd ever get anywhere else. Kareem Martin (3 years, $21 mill in 2018; played in 21 games over 2 years and had 1.5 sacks), Patrick Omameh (3 years, $15 mill in 2018; started 6 awful games before getting hurt and cut in the same season he was signed), and a washed Jonathan Stewart (2 years, $7 mill in 2018; played in 3 games and had 6 carries for 17 yards).

BetterCallSaul Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Browns: 1. LeCharles Bentley “Injuries killed him. No fault on him or the organization—just bad luck.” 2. Gary Baxter “Kinda same. Blew out both knees in 1 play. Sucks to be him.” 3. Dwayne Bowe “Garbage. Didn’t try. Wasn’t good. Total and utter bust of a roster spot.” HM: 1. Kenny Britt 2. Robert Griffin The Turd 3. Andre Rison (apparently…b4 my time) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Albert Haynesworth Adam Archuleta Jeff George (plenty more to pick, but those are my 3) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we throw Michael Huff into this as well? We signed him, he played a massive part in Peyton Manning's record opening night against us, then was cut a couple weeks later.

7DnBrnc53 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 1. Dale Carter (1999): Brought over from the Chiefs, he was a huge disappointment, and lasted only one year. 2. Daryl Gardener (2003): DT only played a handful of games, and got trouble getting in a fight at IHOP. 3. Case Keenum (2018): Another dumb Elway signing that was bad from the start.

NYRaider Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 This is difficult as a Raiders fan, we've had so many terrible FA signings over the years. 1. Javon Walker 2. Trent Brown 3. Corey Littleton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp0k2 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Detroit has a fairly deep pool to draw from here, but if I have to choose the top 3 I'll go with: 1. Daunte Culpepper 2. Rick Wagner 3. Bill Schroeder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknowcool Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Matt Kalil is the worst for us. I've seen my fair share of bad OTs being a Panthers fan... but Kalil is right up there with the worst of them Panthers don't really have that many that stick out though. Mainly because we aren't usually big players in free agency. Even Bridgewater wasn't THAT bad in the grand scheme of things. Now top 5 worst contract extensions... could definitely make a big list out of that. Jake Delhomme for starters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
