John Koncak
Known to many as simply John Contract, in 1989 Koncak was a nothing back up center when the Hawks (who were fearful that he might sign with Detroit) bit on his bluff and signed him to a ridiculous six year $13 million deal. I know it doesn’t seem like much in today’s terms, but this deal made Koncak a higher paid player than Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. This deal is what many critics believed open the flood gates for many sorry ass over-hyped players getting paid ridiculous long term guaranteed contracts.
Wow:
Third Base: Bobby Bonilla - Team Captain
Team: New York Mets
Contract: $1.19M/year from 2011 to 2035
No, you’re not reading that wrong. When Bonilla was released by the Mets, he was due $5.9M. Instead, the Mets agreed to pay him the above sum for the above length of time. You can’t make this kind of stuff up.
