Not all transactions have received massive approval, and here we identify the most illogical on the NFL open market.
Transactions NFL they continue to be promoted, even though the current period of free agency – somewhat diluted by the lowering of the salary cap posted for next season – has not offered the bombastic employment of previous years.
Anyway, I saw it movements that surprised us, for better or worse. It’s time to ask our experts at NFL in the ESPN, ¿which was the most illogical transaction of the current free agency period?
It is worth noting that it is not always easy to find a topic in which the consensus in the answers is as broad as this:
Matt Bowen: Las Vegas Raiders employees for Kenke Drake. Drake can fit several offensive schemes of NFL, given its single-cut running style and speed in the short space. However, I wonder why Las Vegas would deliver to Drake a two-season deal – with $ 11 million in guarantees – to reduce earnings Josh Jacobs. Do not forget that Jacobs is a volume runner in the power scheme of the head coach Jon Gruden.
Mike Clay: The New England Patriots overpay for wide receivers. Nelson Agholor Yes Kendrick Bourne They are very good as options no. 3 and no. On most equipment. But, New England seemed to misjudge a urinary market for large receptors, committing $ 16 million to the inconsistent Agholor (more than they got Will Fuller V Yes Marvin Jones Jr., among others) and $ 5 million with Bourne (more than they received John Brown, Breshad Perriman Yes Tyrell Williams, among others).
Kevin Seifert: The Raiders dismantle their offensive line and do not use money aggressively to improve their defense. However, they guaranteed $ 6.75 million to Drake, despite the fact that it has Jacobs under contract for another two years, under the terms of his rookie contract.
Seth Walder: The Raiders signing Drake. And Las Vegas he wanted to redirect resources from his offensive line, the back-up position was not the ideal destination to do so. It is difficult for me to imagine the meeting in which the decision-makers came to this conclusion, in particular.
