Worst contracts in sports history

[Birdman]

Albert Haynesworth back in 2009 comes to mind.  7 years, $100 million with bonuses.  Signs the contract and then basically quits on his team.

Yea he might be worst in NFL history or all of sports

[Walker Wiggle]

Hayward's contract -- even if he never plays a game -- is not close to the worst in basketball history.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this already but Joh Wall is coming off a torn Achilles' tendon and about to start a 4y $170m extension.

John Wall, Amare, Gilbert Arenas ...

how about the dude withe long hair we took his awful contract in the Nets deal for Pierce and KG .  I mean at the time people were say n it was a top 5 all time screw up .   We kept him for like 3 years as our highest paid player

Hayward's contract the worst in sports history? Hah. I can name 3 Red Sox contracts worse than that

Pablo Sandoval 5 years $95 million
Carl Crawford 7 year $142 million
Adrian Gonzalez 7 year $154 million

[nickagneta]

The monies may be different due to the times but the contract Danny gave Mark Blount(6 years $40 million) was way worse than the contract Hayward has.

Yeah, Wallace's contract was bad but not all time bad. But taking on that contract was the price we paid for those Brooklyn picks, so it was a good contract for us.

Grant Hills contract with the Orlando Magic

[Bobshot]

The Sandoval contract is killing the Red Sox right now, because they are paying Sandoval $19M against their cap to sit on the Giants' bench, and the owner Henry doesn't want to go over the cap to sign Kimbrel as closer, which could kill the season.

[ozgod]

In Boston sports I'd say Sandoval's was the worst. Panda never got on the field and when he did he looked like this:

Gordon Hayward's going to have some people eating Crow Sandwiches - this season and playoffs AND especially next season....



If he's still inconsistent NEXT season then we can revisit this thread. But I believe he'll be just fine - and be a key player for us down the stretch.
