22. LaVar Arrington, New York Giants (2006):
Hulking former Penn State linebacker Arrington had some solid years with New York’s divisional rival Washington, so the Giants decided to pay him a king’s ransom to play for them in 2006.
Let’s just say the experiment did not work out. Despite warning signs of obvious injury concerns and reported discord with Washington coach Joe Gibbs, New York signed Arrington to a seven-year deal worth $49 million. He played one year in New York, tearing his Achilles tendon in Week 7 and missing the rest of the year. Arrington was cut after less than a half of a season in New York and retired in 2007.
