Good players often get paid like superstars in free agency. That's just how it works. The regrettable deals -- from a team perspective -- detailed below often go further than that, creating inflexible contract terms with big risks.
NOTE: All contract figures are from Over The Cap or from numbers filed to the NFL Players Association and the NFL.
Almost everything the Cincinnati Bengals did: Bringing back some familiar veterans is fine, but the numbers behind Cincinnati's moves to re-up struggling tackle Bobby Hart and linebacker Preston Brown were surprising, with both guys signing three-year pacts that could end up paying out more than $20 million. Other moves, like signing guard John Miller (three years, $16.5 million) and cornerback B.W. Webb (three years, worth up to $13 million), made bargain shopping look expensive.
NOOOICE!
