Every once in a while, regardless of the sport, a player comes along who is indefensibly awful, with their one saving grace being that they came cheap – the team got what they paid for.
Fans from each team will instantly be able to bring that player into their mind, and enough time may have passed to be able to laugh at them, now they’re no longer within a 100 mile radius of their side.
You will not find a single one of those players on this list, instead, this list will crown some of the NFL players who were earned enormous contracts, without justifying the masses of cash thrown at them. Some players were even hailed as stars at one point.
None of the players survived their entire contracts, while some barely scraped through their first season, but even one campaign on top-dollar is a ludicrous pay...

The NFL is a money-making juggernaut, raking in billions of dollars from TV coverage, advertising, tickets and merchandise.
A career in the NFL offers instant ‘rock star status’, and almost incomprehensible riches generated by hard-working fans who invest heavily to enjoy the game in-person or even just to watch on TV at home.
Even the controversial NFL commissioner Roger Goodall earns a staggering $44 million each year, almost a quadruple rise from his $11.6 million salary in the year ending March 2011.
According to Forbes, each franchise is worth an average of $1.43 billion each, with each of the 32 teams amassing around $53 million profit in 2013, and that is paving the way for some monster contracts to be handed out to the league’s finest players.
Packers’ veteran Qb Aaron Rodgers leads the way in terms of each player’s yearly average wage for 2015 with $22 million, while Dt Ndamukong Suh’s contract...
