The Arizona Cardinals wanted to land former Philadelphia Eagles and now New England Patriots defensive lineman Milton Williams. The Cardinals were one of the teams in the mix vying to sign him. The Cardinals lost out and Williams got a four-year, $104 million contract. The $26 million per year was the highest contract average given out to an unrestricted free agent.
While he was a player the Cardinals wanted, according to Pro Football Network, it was one of the five worst contracts given out so far.
Williams will be only 26 years old this season, and players do improve as they develop.
