just wondering who everyone thinks of when they think of awful contracts, right now arenas' contract has to be up there over 100 million to a guy with a bum knee, he has barely played at all since he signed that contarct and will most likely never play in a wizards uni again.
this is open to all sports
I agree that Arenas's contract ranks up there with the worst of the worst. His value was overestimated even before he was injured. At one point the Wizards were playing the best Basketball in the east, but they still were not as good as EG thought they were. A jump shooting team that does not play defense is a bad combination.

Albert Belle when he signed with the Orioles. Proceeded to do nothing for the Birds, degenerative hip forced him into retirement, and the Orioles were paying him for years afterwards.
Walker is a good one.
I don't know if you mean Carlos Beltran or Adrian Beltre, but neither has really failed to perform to his contract size. At least to date. Beltran's injury could change that, but long term deals kind of have to be judged differently on the back end, as they are signed with a certain expectation of risk of injury/decline to get the excess value on the front end.
I meant Adrian Beltre.
Great year with the Dodgers then tanked in Seattle.

It wasn't worth anywhere near 250. They essentially pulled number that out of thin air.

That was mosty endorsement money. LA was paying Beckham around $6.5 million per season.
His playing contract with Galaxy in 2007, 2008 and 2009 was worth $6.5m per year.
