Some of those Oline from years past. Thankfully I can't remember their names besides O'day Aboushi.
For the purpose of this thread I'll have to say Cary Williams and be completely disappointed by all the names I see follow mine.

Cary Williams.

My dad is a hardcore Ravens fan and prior to us getting him, I could recall far too many instances of my dad cursing his name for his garbage play costing baltimore leads and even games. I was shocked when we handed him a boatload of cash and brought him in. It was one of the very few times that I questioned the FO's judgement ... the dude was hot garbage and literally did zero while he was with us, except give up yards at a 10 spot clip.

Hot

Garbage.

Luke Joeckel

The guy just couldn't play, absolute turnstyle. Usually I don't mind the FO taking a flyer on a cast-off that hasn't lived up to their draft potential, but I think we paid Luke Joeckel significant money.

Damn, stole mine! Nate Odomes is always my go-to when it comes to this topic. So, along those same lines, I’ll go Phillip Dorsett.

Only geezer Hawk fans like myself would remember this unfortunate signing. He was really good too but never played for us.

Since this is technically another post I'll add another one...

Matt Flynn
(damn that Russell Wilson ruined this guys Seahawk career)

Sidney Rice was pretty bad. Signed a 41 million dollar deal and played less than 10 games 4 out of the 5 seasons he was here.

I have to agree that Carey Williams. not only was he a complete flop, I think he was the sole reason for the Kam Chancellor holdout and started the deterioration of the team chemistry.

TJ Houshmandzadeh

Slow receiver. Bad signing.
Another brilliant move by Jim Mora Jr.

The front office taking him on a helicopter ride before signing him made me puke in my mouth.

Julius Jones for secondary reasons.

His signing seemed to preclude taking advantage of a historic draft for RBs.

But . . .it is not like Ruskell would have ever drafted a running back from Tulane, anyway.
