Could just make a list of pretty much any Dan Snyder free agenr signing
Except London Fletcher of course.
@@fortynights1513and Garcon and Jackson somewhat
The Old NFL Top 10 episode of the worst free agent signings had anyone going to Washington as the top selection. That episode (which was filmed in 2010) had one of the most poorly aging statements in any episode of the series: “I honestly think Dan Snyder’s heart is in a good place”. - Peter Schrager
@@fortynights1513 Man it's been a long time since I've seen that one.
Dan Snyder: Legacy of Failure
The announcer calling him "Fat Albert Haynesworth" on a live broadcast tells you all you need to you about how that signing went.
You could honestly do a top 10 free agency fails from Dan Snyder's tenure alone
that 1998-2002 Era was just dreadful, awful
One of the old NFL Top 10 episodes was on worst free agent signing and number 1 was just "anyone to the skins"
London Fletcher worked out.... but thats it.
you are correct. LMFAO "Anyone to the Redskins" @@memeteam2692
@@memeteam2692Yep, and literally the first subject, the late Don Banks said “this category deserves its own Top 10”.
Albert Haynesworth got that paycheck and stopped playing 😂
Jimmy G too. Although he's getting cut now.
@NK-qn6pq Jimmy G never had a particular great season. He just showed flashes and people paid on potential. Not his actual ability
@@nathanielperryii296 The Raiders shelled out to get him...only for him to get outperformed...by a 4th round rookie.
@NK-qn6pq Yeah they did. Like I said it happens when you pay someone based off potential and flashes. He was getting outperformed on the 49ers.
Absolutely
I am a DC area native. I knew that the team with the highest number of bad contracts would be The Redskins under Dan Snyder. I also knew that Albert Haynesworth would be #1 on the list.
There's no way that can be anybody else other than Albert Haynesworth as number 1 he was a dirty player to.
Any list like this is gonna have at least a couple Redskins on it.
@@allonisaacr2929you don’t have to be from Washington to know #1 was going to be fat Albert lol
Me too, Adam Archuleta, Deion, Jeff George, Trung Candidate, McNabb, Josh Norman had 1 good year with us and was average at 16 17 mil a year, Bruce Smith, he was alright but at the tail end of his career, we had some good ones but ones that sucked more, Kendall Reyes, and one orher signed and JayGruden said we got 2 interior guys instead of Calais Campbell who was a beast still 7 or 8 years ago, so basically we got 2 suck players at cheap Bruce Allen prices instead of paying 1 really productive player Bruce would say you want to play here because of the history of the Redskins so take our discount, even low balled Kirk so he left, cut Swearinger for calling out the lazy practices, cut Ricky Jean dude because he was a Scot McCloughan guy and called out bs on something in the organization, he was ok not great but effective,I can go on for hours but I won't 😢😂😂
I was born and raised in MD (Upper Marlboro & Capitol Heights) until I moved to AL Mar-Apr of 2011. I remember the day after the Monday Night Massacre on 106.7 The Fan. Lavar Arrington and his co-host were going off on the effort Washington put up against my Eagles and pointing out Haynesworth literally sitting on his ass. It was hilarious
We all already knew Albert Haynesworth was going to be number 1
i still laugh at the story about him taking 3 weeks to even attempt a conditioning test then couldn't even come close to finishing it possibly the biggest laziest waste of talent we've ever seen in any sport......... the dude went from dominant freak to useless turd in the blink of an eye
As WFT fan, I know this before opening the video. Albert stands above the rest.
Nick Foles & Carson Wentz will always be special in Philly because of Super Bowl season. But they were Injury Prone, Inconsistent, & never had that magic outside of Philadelphia.
Nick foles co-owns the record for most TD passes in a game... with the eagles.. crazy huh lol
“They will always be special in Philly.” I see what you did there.
Fun fact: Javon Walker was the last first round wide receiver, the Packers ever selected in 2002 since then, they never drafted a first round wide receiver
That's crazy!
Another fun fact about Green Bay and drafting wide receivers : they drafted the serial killer Randall Woodfield. The I-5 Killer
@@My_Naginta yup 👍🏻
2nd round thats theyr round for wrs.....
Javon Walker was never the same after Darent Willams died in his arms the death of a teamate really screwed up his mind
The Old NFL Top 10 episode of the worst free agent signings had anyone going to Washington as the top selection. That episode (which was filmed in 2010) had one of the most poorly aging statements in any episode of the series: “I honestly think Dan Snyder’s heart is in a good place”. - Peter Schrager
To be fair to Schrager, that was before Snyder's more heinous acts came to light.
@@KMC5240The statement was before we knew a lot of things about Snyder, and I agree that the statement is a tad more understandable in its own time. But still, it’s comical just how poorly that statement has aged.
@@fortynights1513to be fair he was always known as a piece of trash....look up how he made his fortune....also the channel urinating tree did a good video covering all his wrong doings
This is a little off topic, but... George Paton: Hired a bottom five head coach in NFL history. Agreed to a bottom five trade in NFL history. Handed out a bottom five contract in NFL history. Still has a job. God I'd love to have that level of job security.
Working at Walmart will do that to you
Mile High Matt Millen
He knows what’s going on with Denver International Airport
They could’ve kept John Elway as lead football executive if this were the alternative lol
I’m see t
Dan Snyder, Dan Snyder, Dan Snyder, and Brock Osweiler. David Boston still hurts. My poor San Diego Chargers. _"Always a flower girl, never a bride."_ Sam Bradford was the last #1 pick before rookie contracts were restructured. He fleeced the NFL like no other. His knees were just slightly stronger than Fred Taylor's hamstrings.
"Always a flower girl, never a bride" is the greatest description for the Chargers I've ever heard. Personally, I ragequit from them in 2016 when they became the only team to lose to the Browns in two years. I haven't looked back. I applaud you for staying loyal.
Yea back in the mid 2000s #1 picks were negotiating their rookie signing deals. I remember Jamarcus Russell held out for $50M and was the biggest bust in raiders history and maybe NFL history as a #1 pick next to Ryan Leaf but he was a #2 pick after Peyton. I just can’t believe Sam Bradford was still playing in 2018? I thought he had retired in 2015 but teams were throwing money at him.🤷♂️
@thenumberquelve158 Oh, I quit following the Chargers when they moved. I will NEVER cheer for an LA-based team. Now, I am a sports atheist. I just hope the games I watch are entertaining, and both teams have fun.
@itsascaryworld9788 Leaf still beats Russell for biggest bust ever. The Raiders always fucked the draft up, but everyone thought Leaf was IT. It was to be him v Peyton for 10 years.
you should do the best ones next
I think they did that exact list a few years ago.
number 1 is the staffod goff trade. Rams wanted a qb who could give them a ring, Lions wanted a qb who could give them a future, both won
@@come.n.get.yo.girl. interesting, thanks dude
yes! God bless! Jesus Christ is King and saves and is the way! Psalms 62 - "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." ✝🤍💪 Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."✝🤍💪
My dad and I were in a fantasy draft together in 2019, and he asked me to draft bc he would miss due to work. For his first round pick, I chose Le’Veon Bell over Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott had 1300 yards and 12 TDs while Bell had the year he had with the Jets. My dad hasn’t allowed me to draft for him since.
Love this narrator! He relaxs me.
i love that there's some new Top 10 content........ i know it's not official NFL Network / NFL Films but it's still great and well done, for years i'd have NFL Network Top 10 shows on as background noise, could watch stuff like this all day! Love the new lists, appreciate the work of you guys putting these together!
Matt Flynn definitely deserved to be on here
Literally!... Dude had an amazing throwaway game for the Packers in Week 17 with Rodgers out (rest) and got handed the keys to a Cadillac elsewhere
@@MarloSoBalJrYo Marlo this Omar. The game is the game
yes why was he not on here, he literally got the bag for having one great game, that's pretty historic if you ask me
In 2015 the Browns signed Dwayne Bowe, he made five receptions that year.
Totally forgot that , he was solid with the chiefs
Wasn't that the Johnny year?
Johnny drafted in 2014 but started in 2015
Remember Peyton hillis? He was on the madden cover and was a bust!
Stumbled upon this, and. liked it immediately. Great narration and content, binged for 3 hours and there's still more!! Thank you!!!
I think we’re gonna remember the Golladay signing like we do the Haynesworth signing. Man could not catch a cold
Next on the list: Aaron Rogers with the Jets. 4 snaps! Count 'em. FOUR!
As Packers fan woodson and Reggie White and Julius peppers
Aaron Rodgers still has time to prove himself with the Jets but as a commanders fan, no one will ever take that from Albert Ainsworth and Dan Snyder worst free agent signing in NFL history. I’m just gonna lay on the grass and dream about all my millions this fool is paying me while the game goes on around me.
I Love Your KZhead Channel So Much NFL Throwback
Always love these videos
Hurts seeing Nnamdi here😢...He was my favorite player as a kid. Loved him in Oakland
Hurts as an eagles fan too lol…that dream team was such a flop, you still shutter when you hear the phrase dream team
@@Heller103085can’t believe Byron Maxwell wasn’t an honorable mention
@@Heller103085I’m a redskins fan bro, haven’t seen a superbowl in my entire lifetime 😂😂 this whole list is basically us
@@ebn128 don't worry, Snyder is finally gone and there are brighter days ahead...... but for me, as a Panthers fan with David Tepper, i'm now bracing myself to get ready for the same BS you've endured the last 25 years 😮💨
@@mattcarberry368 Thanks for the kind words man and y'all gonna make it don't worry. Tepper is a businessman at the end of the day, eventually he'll notice his meddling will ruin the team
Most defensive players who leave never amount to much. Bill was always able to put people in the right spot to make big plays for them, but without that it's rare they shine.
receivers and running backs especially when they leave good teams with a great QB and online to get the big money, most of them end up flopping
Great episode
this is like a top 50 with all the honorable mentions! I'm not complaining
If it wasn't for Carson Wentz, Foles would've never left Philly
Eagles mistake was keeping wentz over foles. Cowboys mistake is keeping Dak over the unknown
Should add this player on honorable mentioned: Randy Gregory. Signed 5 years $70 million dollars contract with Denver Broncos than deal with injuries, in his career like always not impact player and troublemaker in 2 seasons with team, then got traded to 49ers half to 2023 season and lost in Super Bowl
Same ocfseasin as Russell Wilson as Packers fan I remember Jimmy Graham and martelus Bennett back to back busts and killed our salary cap in Arron Rodgers prime
Thanks for the video. I remember every single one of these players and forgot about some. Neil odonell beat Jim harbaugh in the ‘95 afc champ game and made the SB with Pitt but lost to a great Dallas team. If we’re not talking money, he ended up the best of all of these guys in the video.
Foles wasn't a bust. He got injured. Then he went to where all QBs to die - Chicago
There's a few of these that I really think the team they went to was the problem like the WR that went to the raiders when Russel was QB
Aww I’m sorry the video talking about your husband (Foles) hurt your feelings. Lmao
@@kspence98 this was weirdly homophobic for no reason
@@kspence98 uh, okay, fella.
I disagree. Foles was horrible when he got back from injury and never won a game as a starter. Meanwhile rookie Gardner Minshew went 6.6 and played a lot better with the same team. Minshew has never looked that good since.
Kirk to the falcons has to be on the future list
I love how they rework the list from the original shows into these new ones!
Shidddd you need to make a part 2 Deshuan watson is about to make these top 10 hold his Beer!!!
To be fair to Nandi, he played on the left side of the field only in Oakland and Philly thought he was a shutdown corner that could travel with the best receiver (ala Darelle Revis). It was a bad system fit, but no one is crying for Nandi, he married Kerry Washington.
this just goes to show how underrated some QBs and O lines are making these players seem better than they are
Leveon Bell, he played with Big Ben and Antonio Brown in their prime and the steelers o line was great
Some of these free agent signings don't always have to do with players underperforming it sometimes is due to stars going to bad teams, nmadi was a great zone corner but when he signed with the eagles they had him play more man and press than he ever played in oakland.
I thought it was the other way around.
I'd like a vid on 5th year options. Players like daniel jones where the player was signed after the 5th yr option, and was a bad investment and players like Patrick Queen and Josh Jacobs, where a 5th yr option wasn't picked up and were also bad investments.
Could do a couple hour video of jett or dan snyder failures in drafting/free agency
Oh man. Kenny Golladay was so good here in Detroit and then he just completely gave up. He started caring more about posting his cute designer outfits on Instagram than football. Glad we dodged that bullet not resigning him. I was so upset when we didn’t too lol.
Definitely could update this
As a Chargers fan who started watching football in the early 2010's, I'd never even heard of David Boston until now. Guess the placement checks out then.
I've been a Chargers fan since I was 14 and turned 56 today! Trust me you missed nothing 😂😂😂
Happy birthday!@@rickpeterson8825
We’re brushing the dust off this classic !!
For me, the lasting image of Haynesworth in DC will be a clip someone made of the play from that Eagles game where Haynesworth was blocked, put on the ground, and just laid there while the footage played in slow motion to Bob Dylan's "Lay, Lady, Lay."
Raiders signed the 30 year old for a 6yr 55 million dollar deal. Never heard a more raiders sentence in my life
It’s crazy seeing what were considered overpays back then
Yes 5 mil a year for 5 years was a overpay in the 90s
Love this channel
War eagle 🦅 Auburn University represent
7 year deals is wild
while we look at these dudes falling off they all still rich 😂
Bell was offered a bigger contract than what he got, which is funny
he had it good in Pittsburgh
Can you do 10 best free agency signings
As a Falcons fan I will give shoutouts to Ray Edwards 5/30 mil- 3.5 sacks in 20 games) and Ed Hartwell 6/26.6 mil in 2005 for 13 games 63 tackles)
I remember us in cleveland wanted Ray Edwards that year so bad to come here to be the pass rusher, man that was a flop
The Browns made a mistake signing Andre Rison. His season didn’t end well after one season only because he was dropping passes.
For me, I do take injury into consideration. Being a former player and injuring myself, it's nearly impossible to get out of your head and to ever be the same player before you were injured.
Chappell show wouldn’t be anything without d Rollins ? That’s like saying Deion branch wouldnt Tom Brady be anything without him 😂
Tampa Bay signed Alvin Harper a 4 year $10m deal, which was the biggest Free Agent contract of 1995. He rewarded the Bucs with 65 receptions for 922 yards and 3 TDs before they released him.
4:37 I was calling him Nnamdi Awesometoast after getting burned by Julio on that play. Man the 2012 Falcons were a joy to watch until the postseason.
I remember that sky scraping good troop Denver signed😂😂😂
As a cowboys fan seeing Demarco play portly in Philly was so bittersweet
Great video, as a titans fan fat Albert didn’t work in Washington because the titans just let our defensive ends wreck havok, the system for the d line in Tennessee was bull rush and kick whoever’s in front of you ass the entire game. The redskins it was more about gap control and taking on double teams and sometimes triple teams and Albert and not many players were made for that kind of defense
I'd probably give Javon Walker a break here. Let's not forget he was never the same after Darrent Williams was murdered. Williams literally died in Walker's lap. That's some horrible trauma to endure.
As Packers fan he tore his knee up and did well with broncos but it was as bad if not worse than DeAngelo hall move but that was a trade remember that ?
Not to mention he had Andrew Walter and Jamarcus Russel throwing him ducks during those two years in Oakland...
I'm surprised not to see Culpeper signing with the dolphins it's not on here
Almost all of Jon Grudens 2019 free agent class that included the highest paid O Lineman of all time Trent Brown, Antonio Brown, Vontaze Burfict and Lamarcus Joyner.
3rd but cool vid! this is cool but i just started weeeee edit: i finished, pretty good, led to search is the jags have a hof lol
That first foles throw was cold
Foles still got a ring. Rison was fire until Left Eye sent fire to his house In Atlanta!
As a Washington fan I'm hurt
Could make TOP 10 with only Dan Snyder signings
I don’t give two craps for Dan Snyder. I say the only thing he might’ve done good for us and free agent was signing in London Fletcher.
I will never forget the NFL Network Top 10 special on this subject when they announced, "And the number 1 worst free-agent signing of all time... ANYONE to the Washington Redskins!" I fell out of my chair!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Trae Waynes with Cincinnati was next level terrible
LeCharles Bentley with the Browns in 2006 could be on the list since he gotten injured on the 1st play of practice in training camp and never played in a game with Cleveland after that. Contract was 6 year/$36 million at signing.
As a broncos fan I’m surprised Russ ain’t up here
Yeah yeah yeah as a Texans fans I remember oopsweiler
As Packers fan Reggie White and Charles woodson and Julius peppers were my personal favorites from years as a Packers fan and still can't believe the contract that javon walker got from al Davis who has a habit of overpaying super bowl mvps Larry Brown and Desmond Howard lol
Some of the honorable mentions are examples of desperation by a team. It's not that this player is worth that money, but we need a player of at least their talent so we will pay them as if they are a higher talent and assume that is the case. Its a move usually done by someone desperate to fill the shortcomings of their drafting and free agency finds from a season before, or to patch the roster they obtained from someone else. There's only so much talent to go around but to bid against yourself for a player you know and everyone knows is a reach is a quick way for someone to reach for your contract as GM/HC and tear it up.
The commentator was so pisst that he called Albert Haynesworth, fat Albert Haynesworth at 19:58 of the video
Wonder how many of the WR's on this list are there due, at least in part, to poor QB play. Last clip of Walker shows JaMarcus Russell throwing him the ball (6:27).
yeah these clips are bad examples cuz not every incompletion is the WRs fault but the overall stats for the season(s) dont lie
@@Packerfan130 Yeah, but ... JaMarcus Russell! Jerry Rice would have had a bad stat year with him at QB.
Can you do the evolution of the MLB like you did the NFL one please I would really want to see that
deshaun watson is an honorable mention already
Bruh, I don't even remember Paul Richardson, lol. I'm glad I don't.
He was a fun player in Seattle but you knew when he left he was gonna get paid to take on a bigger role. I don't think the financials for a 5 year/40 million is the worst deal if he had continued growing as a player. I think it was a rare worthwhile risk by Washington under Snyder considering just how bloated WR salaries randomly got.
Very talented but could never stay on the field. He only had one year where he wasn't on the DL. And he signed elsewhere and gave you nothing but time on the DL.
A number of these bad signings was the failure to understand what system made them successful with their previous teams. Don't just chase the name and stats, know what made them successful.
Have to agree with #1
Haynesworth ran off on the Plug lol
I think Deshaun Watson will be up here soon
100%. Especially with Flacco's resurgence.
Watson was traded then signed
That was a trade. Now if they do a top 10 horrible trade list, he’ll definitely be on it.
See the Cowboys avoid being on the list by ignoring free agency and re-signing their own guys to ridiculous contracts that end up in them being cut early 90% of the time. Always having dead cap from this also makes it so we never use free agency
Jags thought they could capture that Foles magic.
When are you doing a top ten trade fails to include Russel Wilson?
Interesting to see dollar amounts over the years - Even 20 years ago.
As a Texans fan I remember the Osweiller signing, and to this day I truly believe the Texans signed him on due to him beating Brady and the patriots the year before
Im sorry but Laveon bell was plagued with a terrible o line.
He was. But even after he left he never did anything
Don’t think I couldn’t click any faster!!!!
As a saints fan we will never get over Jason David. Torched by his former team in week 1 never recovered
washington with deion and Haynesworth!!😂
17:56 this was definitely offensive pi😂
Every time i hear Javon Walker i remember him for getting his ass beat and robbed at a club the most
When will teams stop overspending in free agency, build through draft fill holes with budget free agents
As a Texans fan it's still hard to fathom the Brock Asswiper era.
I remember the Bengals offered Golliday. Glad he didn't sign with them now 😅
Nick Foles to Jacksonville
props to the javon walker signing, that was painful.
Boston always showed flashes. Sucks that one didn’t work out for the player
