Every week in this space, Chris We seling will roll out the power rankings for one specific NFL position, attribute or award.A few weeks back, we reviewed the . It's now time to unveil the companion piece, biggest free-agent flops.On to the list:1. , wide receiver: This was an easy call. Even though Bowe had been moving like a tight end for two seasons, the opted to hand him $9 million in guarantees. As a result, they've been forced to carry a player they would rather release. A healthy scratch most weeks, Bowe has contributed a catch in just one of 10 games this season. If there's a silver lining, it's that "only" $2.85 million of his 2016 salary is guaranteed.2. , wide receiver: After recruiting Johnson Ozzie Albies Jersey with a three-year, $21 million offer, coach Chuck Pagano insisted that the 34-year-old receiver was a "dominant guy" and a "." Johnson was supposed to be a major upgrade on an injury-ravaged , accelerating 's development. Instead, Luck has regre sed beyond all imagination while Johnson has been outplayed of late by fifth receiver .3. , running back: Murray is the poster-child for the perils of building through free agency in the NFL. Chip Kelly conceded this summer that Murray's extraordinarily heavy 2014 workload was a , but opted to hand him a five-year, $40 million contract regardle s. An investment of that size can't be allowed to fail, even if it means re-tooling the offense to suit Murray's strengths after watching him get outplayed by and early in the season. Murray is a power runner who struggles to move laterally. The should have realized he was a poor fit for their spread attack.4. , cornerback: Signed to a three-year, $15 million contract two days after the declined his 2015 option, Browner has been an unmitigated disaster in a historically bad secondary. A pa s interference call waiting to happen, Browner has been charged with an astounding 16 penalties this season. As if that wasn't distre sing enough, he opted to take a at guard rather than attempting to tackle ball-carrier last week.5. , cornerback: The had the right idea, landing Cromartie at the bargain rate of $3.25 million on a one-year contract in 2014. The got hornswoggled, throwing $32 million over four years at the 31-year-old cornerback after a bounce-back season in Arizona. Cromartie has been one of the NFL's least effective corners this season, allowing six touchdowns and a pa ser rating of 135.3, per Pro Football Focus. The have surrendered 1,227 pa sing yards over the past four games, more than any four-game stretch with last year's patchwork secondary.6. , wide receiver: The received 249 yards and one touchdown over five games for their one-year, $6 million investment in Harvin, who was so frustrated with a chronically injured hip that he has at age 27. In exchange for the $31.5 million he has collected from the , and over the past three years, Harvin has delivered a grand total of five touchdowns.7. , wide receiver: How many parties have been aggrieved by Smith's defection to San Francisco for $40 million over five years? The have desperately mi sed Smith's speed and playmaking ability whereas Smith's field-stretching skills have gone to waste at the wrong end of 's scattershot arm. At least 50 receivers and tight ends have produced more plays of 20+ yards than Smith this season.8. , cornerback: Speaking of signings that have gone wrong for both teams, the next two players on this list were e sentially swapped for each other. The "upgraded" from to Maxwell, shelling out $63 million in the proce s. Brought onboard to neutralize No. 1 receivers, Maxwell has been toasted by , and this season.9. , cornerback: Given $7 million upfront on a three-year, $18 million contract, Williams was signed to replace Maxwell opposite while stabilizing the celebrated secondary. So much for that plan. The allowed as many points in their Week 10 lo s to the as they allowed in their final six regular-season games combined last season.There's not been a game in the last 4 years where the Hawks corners were defeated the way AZ did so tonight. Humbling night on the perimeter Brock Huard (@BrockHuard) 10. , defensive end: America loves a redemption story. As we understand the proce s, second chances are granted to those who show true remorse, contrition and a sober-minded reevaluation of the harmful decisions that have left them at a cro sroads in their lives.Granted a second chance despite thumbing his nose at that all-important contrition phase, Hardy has rewarded the with a rap video heavy on strippers and guns, about 's wife, a with the special teams coach, at team meetings and a with teammate in Week 10.The have lost five consecutive game since Hardy's suspension lapsed in Week 5. They can accomplish that much without a continually divisive force undermining the efforts of everyone else in the building.Honorable mention:, , , , , , Kurt Suzuki Jersey
