20. Plaxico Burress
Plaxico has played just one full season since 2008 -- most of that was because of his time spent in jail. He should just quit trying to make a comeback and retire from the league.

It's hard to believe that Juwan Howard is still in the NBA. He hasn't been relevant since 2006-07 and has been at the end of the Miami Heat bench for the past three seasons.
Remember when Byron Leftwich was considered a solid quarterback with Jacksonville? Yeah, that seems like decades ago. Since leaving the Jaguars in 2006, the quarterback has played in just 14 games and passed for less than 1,500 yards to go along with seven touchdowns and six picks.
Talk about a bust. This guy was a top-10 pick in the 2006 NFL Draft but has since fallen off the map. He has 'played' for three different teams since 2009 -- looks like it's time to hang up the cleats, Matt.
No one wants a guy back in the NFL that takes selfies with fans -- pictured above. Also, he dropped passes better than Calvin Johnson catches them.
Not having played a full season since 2008 with the New York Yankees, Giambi has been the token old man power hitter who gets one at bat every three games.
Mark Sanchez is just not a good NFL quarterback. He was considered the worst starting quarterback in the league before his injury and now maybe he can turn his sights to modeling.
Worst contract in NBA history. Arenas is set to make more than most superstars this season -- over $20 million -- and he isn't even in the league. Let's hope it stays that way for Agent Zero.
From hero to zero, Armstrong was caught doping in order to cheat bicycling. He also called out many people in the process. Not many people are fans of this fraud.
Since 2010, Moss has been irrelevant and it's time for one of the best receivers of all time to hang it up for good. He had a good run, however.
Russell was drafted solely on potential back in 2007 out of LSU and the quarterback never lived up to that potential. He's been trying to make a comeback, but he's just embarrassing himself at this point.
Young is guy who played well in his first couple years in the league for the Tennessee Titans but was another quarterback who never lived up to the hype. He has been known to beg teams for a tryout. Just sad.
Tracy McGrady could never succeed in the playoffs throughout his entire career and didn't get out of the first round until last season with the Spurs. Now that he's retired, teams are praying he doesn't come back because signing him is a hex on any title hopes.
The phrase "Manny being Manny" got old pretty fast and the guy hung around far too long for anyone's good. He's currently trying to make a comeback to the MLB, but he should just hang up the cleats.
Iverson retired a short time ago and was very emotional about it. He was a "me first" type of player, but one of the most exciting selfish players of all time. Let's hope he doesn't make a last-ditch effort at an NBA return.
Next up: Chad Johnson. Or Ochocinco. Whichever name he goes by these days. He was cut from the Miami Dolphins in the preseason in 2012 after a domestic abuse charge. He's a cocky, arrogant guy who will not be missed.
Terrell Owens is just like Chad Johnson in the way that he was an arrogant receiver who tried for too long to make an NFL return. However, he is pursuing a bowling career now, so he might be out of football for a while.
Talk about a sad case at quarterback in which the guy can't throw worth a lick. He might have the worst throwing motion out there and if he doesn't change positions, I don't think any football fan will be mad if he doesn't come back to the sport. Maybe he will become an actor or motivational speaker.
Brett Favre was giving everyone a headache with his indecisiveness a while back about retiring and un-retiring. Let's all be happy he is retired for good.
This has to be the easiest choice on this list. Not many people would be sad if this arrogant cheater was gone from baseball forever.
