Reggie White is already on the list

1994: Deion Sanders, 49ers

Former team: Falcons

Position: Cornerback

Reported terms: One year, $1 million

Though he played only one season in San Francisco, Deion Sanders was largely responsible for helping the Steve Young-led 49ers finally overcome the Dallas Cowboys and win a Super Bowl. He had a career-high three interception returns for touchdowns in his one year with the 49ers and finished with six picks and 303 return yards. Showing his penchant for clutch play, Sanders also had two key postseason interceptions. Honorable mention: DE Sean Jones (Oilers to Packers).

1998: Curtis Martin, Jets

Former team: Patriots

Position: Running back

Reported terms: Six years, $36 million

When Bill Parcells moved on from the Patriots to the Jets, he targeted his former running back Curtis Martin as a necessary conerstone signing for his new team. He handed the rusher such an exorbitant contract that the Patriots declined to match the offer for the restricted free agent. In his first seven seasons with the Jets he never rushed for fewer than 1,094 yards and had 67 total touchdowns with New York. Honorable mention: RB Ricky Watters (Eagles to Seahawks)

1997: Tony Siragusa, Michael McCrary, Ravens

Former team: Colts, Seahawks

Position: Defensive tackle, defensive end

Reported terms: Four years, $16 million/three years, $6 million

The two Ravens acquisitions share the 1997 honor. They were both vital contributors for the Ravens' record-setting defense that led the team to a Super Bowl XXV victory over the Giants. Siragusa played five seasons in Baltimore and helped Ray Lewis become one of the best middle linebackers in the game by keeping blockers off the fleet playmaker. McCrary was an elite pass rusher who had 51 sacks in six years at Baltimore. Honorable mention: LB Chad Brown (Steelers to Seahawks)

Deion may have been a good athlete but he was 100% jerk. I woudn't have him on my team.
