Derrick Mason

Remember when the Jets thought it was a good idea to replace 28-year-old Jerricho Cotchery with 37-year-old Derrick Mason?

On the surface, signing Mason and letting Cotchery go made sense. The veteran wideout caught 61 passes for 802 yards and seven touchdowns in 2010. Cotchery, meanwhile, saw his production dip to a mere 41 receptions for 433 yards.

Things didn’t exactly pan out for Mason in New York, though. After signing a two-year deal with the Jets, Mason was traded five games into the 2011 season in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick.

Mason was supposed to be a reliable slot receiver that could help Mark Sanchez take his game to the next level. Instead, he contributed essentially nothing. His contract was not the biggest, but his lack of production considering the expectations that followed him to the Big Apple land him on this list.
