Details: Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill signed a 4-year, $77 million contract in May of 2015. His total cash payout for 2018 is $17,500,000, according to Spotrac.com.
Expectations: Tannehill is one of the oddest cases on this list, considering he missed all of last season and was basically supplanted as Miami's franchise quarterback by a half-retired Jay Cutler. The Dolphins had been waiting patiently and optimistically for Tannehill's breakout moment to come, but the injury he suffered last year effectively put those hopes on hold. Miami has to dig up those old expectations, dust them off and pray that this gigantic cash payout isn't a total waste.
