What is the worst contract in the NFL? With NFL revenue skyrocketing and the salary cap following suit, salaries for players at nearly every position have exploded. Plenty of deals work out but it’s also not hard to find some of the worst NFL contracts that continue to look bad as time goes on.

It should come as no surprise that the Deshaun Watson contract is the worst in the NFL. Many around the league were critical of the Cleveland Browns for doing it back in 2022. Two years later, the deal looks even worse. While no other contract is on that level, there are quite a few pacts around the NFL that won’t work out for the team.

Here are the worst NFL contracts in 2024.
