I think it's Lloyd, quite honestly.

First, Stubblefield, George, and Deion at least all started for us. So at least they played. So to me, it rules them out.

Archuleta, Lloyd, and Duckett are the candidates I'm considering for this dubious distinction. None of them played hardly at all.

But Archuleta was a free agent who we gave a lot of money and managed to recoup some of his cap space in a deal with the Bears. So all we did there was give him $5 million.

Duckett was a guy we gave a pick for, but we didn't pay him hardly anything. He was cheap on cap space.

But Lloyd cost a 3rd round pick, a 4th round pick, plus a $10 million bonus of which we'll eat about half in deadcap space in 2009. We gave up picks, we gave up money, and we didn't recoup any of it. To me, that move hurts the most.
