There are really horrible baseball contracts every year. Jose Guillen's 3/36 comes to mind. Vernon Wells' 7/120 is a classic.

But in terms of sheer ridiculousness, I've never seen anything worse than last year's 5yr Delhomme extension in which he pocketed $20 million on signing it. Look, the Redskins have had their hands forced by the salary cap more times than we can count in the past seven years, and I objected to guarenteeing megabucks to a player like Portis at the time, as well as the ridiculous Lloyd extension of 2006...but Delhomme got $20 million AFTER the playoff meltdown from last year, with a year remaining on his contract, and at the age of 34.

That's the worst contract ever.
