Not all transactions received massive approval, and here we identify the most illogical in the NFL’s open market
Transactions NFL they are still being advertised even now that the current period of free agency – somewhat diluted by next season’s drop in the salary ceiling – has not offered the bombastic hires of recent years.
Either way, we’ve seen it movements that have surprised us, in a positive or negative senseIt’s time to get our experts on it NFL in ESPNwhat is the most illogical transaction of the current period of free agency
It’s worth noting that it’s not always easy to find a topic where the consensus in the answers is as broad as this:
Matt Bowen: The Las Vegas Raiders hire the backsliding Kenyan Drake. Drake fits into multiple offensive schedules of NFL, given its single-cut running style and speed in the short space. Still, I wonder why Las Vegas would deliver Drake a two-season deal – with $ 11 million in guarantees – to deduct anything from Josh JacobsRemember that Jacobs is a volume runner in the head trainer’s power plan Jon Gruden
Mike Clay: New England Patriots are paying too much for wide receivers. Nelson Agholor Y Kendrick Bourne They are fine as No. 3 and No. Options on most equipment. But, New England seemed to misjudge a bear market for wide receivers and allocate $ 16 million to the inconsistent Agholor (more than they got Will Fuller V Y Marvin Jones Jr., among others) and $ 5 million with Bourne (more than they have John Brown Breshad Perriman Y Tyrell Williams, among other things).
Kevin Seifert: The Raiders dismantle their attack line and don’t use aggressive money to improve their defenses. However, they guaranteed $ 6.75 million to it Drake, despite Jacobs under contract for at least two more years, under the terms of his rookie deal.
Seth Walder: Los Raiders firmando a Drake. And Las Vegas to divert resources from his offensive line, the backup running back position was not the ideal destination to do so. In particular, I can hardly imagine the meeting where the decision-makers came to that conclusion.
