Haynesworth easily if we're talking all time. A deal so horrifying both sides regret it.
Best thing is Haynesworth basically signed his career's death warrant the day he was introduced;
"You're not going to remember Albert Haynesworth as a bust."
I mean, you're pretty much asking for it with that.

Cutler deal is fine especially with declining #
One year of dysfunction under Trestman lead to a lot of "What a bad contract" stuff but that faded away rather quickly
Also as always the 100M+ number is misleading as actual guaranteed money on deal is only 54M most of which has already been paid out
And I haven't heard any negative views on Flacco contract from any major media folks or Raven fans

Its still a pretty bad deal considering gets similar money to Rodgers, people were saying it was bad when he signed it, he's a mid tier qb, with the money guys like Dalton and Kapernick got (a loooot less guaranteed) its definitely an overpayment.
Flaccos contract is definitely one of the worst, his cap hit is insane
Not that it matters that much to over-guarantee a qb, half the time you cant even cut them because theres nothing else out there.

Which Vick contract? The first was fine IMO. He was worth every penny, obviously before he turned that into a dog fighting ring.
He gets paid as much as an elite QB but he is an average one. Its not like had a great Super Bowl run like Flacco or had elite-level seasons like Stafford.
There probably isnt, but its still an awful contract.
What the Faulk
You'll know when you go
Jared Allen? When he signed that he was coming off 7 consecutive 11+ sack seasons. It's Chicago's fault they didn't want to use him at DE.
And the amount of hate Cutler gets is unreal. They can cut him next year for basically nothing. His cap hit next year will be 15th among QBs at $17m. It would be lower, but Luck hasn't signed an extension, Brady leaves money on the table, and some guys haven't been signed yet.
Joe Flacco's cap hit, meanwhile, is nearly double that of Cutlers at $28.5m. It goes up to $31m while Cutler's actually drops to $16m. The Ravens can't even cut Flacco before 2018 without eating that much in dead money, and it'd still cost $5 million post June 1 2018 to do that.
Meanwhile, one guy is coming off a significant knee injury and the other had a mini resurgence. Yeah, Baltimore won the SB with Flacco, but it had a whole lot more to do with their defense, Rahim Moore, and extremely poor coverage on jump balls than Flacco himself.
The two contracts aren't even on the same planet.

Problem for me is if you have a **** contract in the NFL you can just terminate it. You may have to dish out the guaranteed money but if you look at NFL contracts in comparison to other sports bad ones aren't a big deal.
