Not all transactions got abosulta approval, and here we identify the most illogical in the NFL open market
The transactions of NFL they continue to announce, even when the current period of free agency – somewhat diluted by the fall in the salary cap recorded for next season – has not offered the high-sounding hiring of past years.
Either way, we’ve seen it movements that have surprised us, for better or for worse. It’s time to ask our experts about the NFL a ESPN, ¿what has been the most illogical transaction of the current period of free agency?
It is worth noting that it is not always easy to find a topic where the consensus in the answers is as broad as this:
Matt Bowen: Hiring Las Vegas Raiders runner Kenyan Drake. Drake can fit into multiple offensive schemes of NFL, Given his style of single-cut running, and speed in short space. However, I question why las Vegas would deliver to Drake a two-season deal – with $ 11 million in guarantees – to subtract ball touches from Josh Jacobs. remember that Jacobs is a volume runner in the head coach power scheme Jon Gruden.
Mike Clay: The New England Patriots overpaying for open receivers. Nelson Agholor i Kendrick Bourne they are very good as No. 3 and No. options on most teams. But, New England seem to miscalculate a declining market for open receivers, committing $ 16 million to the inconsistent Agholor (more than they got Will Fuller V i Marvin Jones Jr., Among others) and $ 5 million with Bourne (More than they got John Brown, Breshad Perriman i Tyrell Williams, Others).
Kevin Seifert: The Raiders dismantling their offensive line and not using the money aggressively to improve on their defense. They did, however, guarantee $ 6,750,000 a Drake, Despite having Jacobs under contract for at least two more years, under the terms of your novice agreement.
Seth Walder: The Raiders sign Drake. I las Vegas he wanted to redirect resources from his offensive line, the alternate runner position was not the ideal destination to do so. It is costing me a lot of work to imagine the meeting where the decision makers come to this conclusion, in particular.
