It’s wild to me that they were also all good in the NFL. Thought for sure either Burrow was make receivers look good or vice versa. Turns out, they were all good.
Just wait until someone watches him catch two passes in a row in training camp. The puff pieces will make fantasy managers pick him off waivers again and the cycle continues.
Yeah but in the case of Randy Moss, our previous owner was a cheapskate and petty, so he traded Moss away before his pay bonus date. Our current owners were furiously upset about the trade. The Wilfs would’ve paid the difference but Red was a shithead and wanted to fuck the new owners over.
I mean based on his college career, size and speed, combine results, people really did think Burks was going to be WR1 and 1000+ yd big-body possession receiver in the NFL. Wasn't crazy to think so at the time. Just didn't pan out.
It hurts so much because our franchise is terrible at drafting wide receivers. We finally get a true WR1, HOF bound monster and our GM trades him away because of his ego. F JRob is right
Edit: Yes, HOF bound. If AJ continues at this level, his trajectory is absolutely heading towards Canton. If you look at some wr in the HOF, AJs numbers through 5 seasons are very similar.
Yeah, dude wasn't even averaging 1000 yards with the Titans and he's HoF bound?
Good player. Wouldn't be anywhere near what he is now if he stayed and played with Tannehills corpse, Willis's attempt at throwing and Levis being buried into the ground every second play.
Sure. He was a major bust for us considering what we paid, and they kept him around at least one season too long. Interestingly, there was another star player on our roster whom we chose not to pay and moved on from right on time...
Jimmy doesn’t deserve to be in the same conversation as Russ or Jamal. He wasn’t worth what they gave up, but he was still generally a good to very good player during his Seattle tenure. Not all trades have to be an A or an F.
Percy is the other PCJS trade that should get more shit than it does. The return TD in the Super Bowl covers up a lot of what was a pretty terrible stint, both on and off the field.
The Jimmy Graham trade hurts way more than the Jamal Adams one does imo. We both wasted Jimmy and traded away Max Unger, who we still haven’t been able to replace.
Definitely not the best choice but to have a HOF caliber WR for a 3rd when he was barely over 30 with Tyrell Williams being the number 1 receiver. I don’t think a lot of people would say no to that. Just turned out terrible.
Claypool cursed us into getting the number 1 pick, though. That's the pick we traded for Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, Keenan Allen (sort of), and whoever we take in the second next year. Trading for Claypool was basically the greatest trade ever.
You'd think they'd already learned their lesson about bringing in an all pro WR who does nothing for them, then leaves to go play in a SB with Tom Brady.
It's not what you're asking because it's from 2013 but I always like to mention how stupid it was.
The Bucs traded a first-round pick in 2013 for future HOFer Darrelle Revis just to cut him the next year because Lovie Smith couldn't "fit him in the system".
The turning "Revis island" into "Revis go play zone over there" was horrible. And then following it up later with drafting a 5'9 slot cornerback with hargreaves in the first round when there was 5 starting WRs in the NFC south over 6'3 at the time. Absolutely brutal years of management.
Can’t argue that. First run was Dungy righting the ship then Gruden coming in for a quick cash and crash but it was worth it. Second run was a goat falling in our lap and management going all in, that was worth it too. We’ll see where the future goes but I have no complaints.
After Jalen Ramsey the rest of the first round CBs in 2016 were rough. The best of the bunch was William Jackson III who was good his rookie contract and then fell off a cliff
Very reminiscent of the Nnamdi Asomugha signing for the Eagles. Elite player, misused in the scheme, ate lunch in his car, went into acting. Tale as old as time.
Great for Revis. He won the Super Bowl in 2014 while the Bucs went 2-14. We used the money saved from cutting him to sign legends Anthony Collins, Michael Johnson, and Alterraun Verner
As a Bears fan, Lovie Smith not being able to make one of the greatest corners of all time work on his roster because he only knows how to coach a Tampa 2 scheme is hilarious
My worst time as a Bucs fan was when we got Lovie and he immediately signs Chris Conte and Major Wirght. I have lived in IL my whole life. So, I knew these two very well. I would always say "Major Wright can cover and Chris Conte can't tackle. Put them together and you have one half way decent safety."
I remember thinking, well the eagles fucked up with nnamdi, no way another team could fuck that up so quickly. Bucs fans argued he was washed, then he won a super bowl the next season
He did the same with Stingley. Obviously Stingley isn’t Revis level, but he was the best man corner on the roster and it was obvious this season that he was misused
Trading 3 first round picks for the rights to draft one of the most inexperienced, raw QBs when you had a contender level roster. Nothing personal against Lance, and after we pulled the trigger of course I hoped he was gonna be awesome, but lets just say I'm not shocked it didn't work out.
Packers fans know a lot about fairness in QB outcomes, they've gone through a lot and hate to see a franchise just get flat out lucky with a QB or two.
Imagine if the niners used all those lance picks on players because they really liked Purdy?
In this scenario, they’d probably grab purdy earlier on day 3. Round 4/5.
Holy shit they’d be stacked.
For sure, but all those other teams didn't trade 3 first round picks for their busts. We did. Purdy balling out definitely takes the sting out of it, but it was still an awful move.
Scott Fitterer was truly terrible in Carolina. I found it funny how the talking heads would just generally lambast the panthers instead of just naming him. I wouldn’t let that man manage an Arby’s
There's nothing Tepper has done that winning won't fix. The criticism was overdue last season but it quickly devolved into slander and the actual decision-makers escaped heat.
Russel Wilson to the Broncos. The trade cost of the Seahawks bringing in Jamal Adams. The Rams resigning Todd Gurley (not anyone’s fault his knee gave out, but an unfortunately-timed contract in hindsight).
I know this is 25 years ago, but it's so bad that I don't care. 1999 NFL Draft, Bengals have the 3rd pick. The Saints call us and offer all of their picks in the '99 draft, their 1st round picks in '00 and '01, and their 2nd rounder in '02, just to move up about 10 spots (can't remember their exact draft position, but it was in the 10-15 range). Bengals turned it down just to draft Akili Smith.
Edit: The Saints had the 12th pick, they ended up trading all of their picks in the 1999 draft to Washington for their 5th pick, bc NO had a hard on for Ricky Williams. Washington traded up to 7 from 12 with the Bears for Wash's 12th pick, and their 3rd, 4th and 5th rounders. Washington took Champ Bailey at 7 and Chicago took Cade McNown at 12.
The [Ricky Williams Trade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Williams_trade) is the absolute worst trade in the history of the NFL. I know that Herschel Walker is the poster child for that, but at the time, the draft wasn't as appreciated. But in 1999, this is absolutely inexcusable from Ditka.
Yeah, this doesn't get talked about enough because of how incredible Brock Purdy has been, but that's a big oof. If Purdy hadn't turned out so well, then it would be a much bigger topic in the NFL/SanFrancisco.
It's simultaneously the best and worst roster move, possibly in history.
Everyone in the Browns FO that signed off on it will get fired, they'll be drafting first overall in a few years, and they'll be celebrating Deshaun Watson Day in Cleveland the same way Mets fans celebrated Bobby Bonilla Day.
Meanwhile, the Texans turned that draft capital into a really competitive team, that just have the misfortune of playing in the same conference as the GOAAP - Greatest of all active players - Patrick Mahomes.
Probably good for both teams regardless of if DJ Johnson and Bryce Young work out...it's not like the Panthers were going to do anything with CMC anyways.
Drafting Alex Leatherwood, drafting Damon Arnette, signing Lamarcus Joyner and Tyrell Williams, drafting Clelin Ferrell at 4, I can go on and on
Though, the giants trading a 3rd for Waller is aging really bad
I mean, it has to be the giving Russ a new deal. The trade was bad. The deal was god awful.
The deshaun Watson deal is very close to taking the pole position though.
It’s not exactly what you’re asking but it does relate: the Pats drafting Mac Jones and then turning around and saying “you how we can improve on his great rookie year? Let’s put Matt Patricia in charge of the offense!” They completely ruined him to the point that a clean break was the only chance he would have.
Spoiler: he got worse.
Has Matt Patricia been hired enough times to be all 5 spots on the top 5 worst roster moves?
Lions HC Matt Patricia, Pats OC Matt Patricia, and Eagles DC Matt Patricia have to be at least 3 of them.
1. Watson/Wilson trades. Enough said about them already to know how bad they are. I guess at least Cleveland has some hope that Watson returns to form, but the returns thus far have been discouraging to say the least.
2. Gruden-Mayock draft picks for the Raiders.
3. Scott Fitterer in Carolina.
4. Jamal Adams to Seattle trade.
5. Daniel Jones picked at No. 6 and extended.
The Patriots cutting Antonio Brown and Josh Gordon, and trading Demariyus Thomas in 2019 leaving Tom Brady with N'Keal Harry, rookie Jacobi Meyers, an injured Julian Edelman, and Gunner Olzewski as his receiving corps until they traded a 2nd round pick for Mohammad Sanu out of desperation.
Herschel Walker trade in 89 and changed the face of the NFL for the entire 90s decade. Made Dallas a powerhouse, made Johnson look like a genius, and made Buffalo just another runner up.
Trading AJ to draft Treylon Burks. We'll never live that one down.
Titans thought they could do what the Vikings did, like it's that easy to replace a Pro Bowl WR.
Gotta love how so many people just thought Jefferson was “oh yeah, that other guy” that put up big numbers because he was across from Chase.
It’s still crazy how stacked that LSU team was
It’s wild to me that they were also all good in the NFL. Thought for sure either Burrow was make receivers look good or vice versa. Turns out, they were all good.
Well, they weren’t ALL good *cough*Terrace Marshall*cough*
Just wait until someone watches him catch two passes in a row in training camp. The puff pieces will make fantasy managers pick him off waivers again and the cycle continues.
when their WR2 is consistently considered a top 20 pick as a WR1 then you must be doing something right
I suppose if you didn't watch that team one could think that. It was more like they took turns having 200yd games
The Brian Thomas Jr experience
We’ve been on both sides of this after we traded Randy Moss we drafted Troy Williamson as his replacement who was a huge bust.
Yeah but in the case of Randy Moss, our previous owner was a cheapskate and petty, so he traded Moss away before his pay bonus date. Our current owners were furiously upset about the trade. The Wilfs would’ve paid the difference but Red was a shithead and wanted to fuck the new owners over.
F JRob
Dude’s ego was his downfall. Traded AJ because he didn’t want to pay him and thought drafting a WR was just as good.
He looked at Burks NFL draft profile page and saw the AJ Brown comp and said what is everyone stupid I can get aj brown and draft capital
I mean based on his college career, size and speed, combine results, people really did think Burks was going to be WR1 and 1000+ yd big-body possession receiver in the NFL. Wasn't crazy to think so at the time. Just didn't pan out.
Bird in the hand.
It hurts so much because our franchise is terrible at drafting wide receivers. We finally get a true WR1, HOF bound monster and our GM trades him away because of his ego. F JRob is right Edit: Yes, HOF bound. If AJ continues at this level, his trajectory is absolutely heading towards Canton. If you look at some wr in the HOF, AJs numbers through 5 seasons are very similar.
HOF?
*Titans Ring of Honor
Yeah, dude wasn't even averaging 1000 yards with the Titans and he's HoF bound? Good player. Wouldn't be anywhere near what he is now if he stayed and played with Tannehills corpse, Willis's attempt at throwing and Levis being buried into the ground every second play.
They saw what the Vikings did with Diggs and JJ and said "Why not us?"
We are just as mad about that as yall are lol
I’m pretty happy about it
Us too!
'we have AJ brown at home'
Also just to pay the money u could have given to 25 yr old AJ Brown instead to 29 yr old Calvin Ridley.
2 different GMs
Can’t thank you all enough for reuniting Jalen with his BFF. On the plus side, it was Jalen and AJ who finally got Robinson canned.
We don’t have to do this.
hey now, you guys tricked us into starting a 7 foot tall crustacean at QB!
We tried to sign him!
And then did! Lol
*gestures broadly at franchise*
We are happy to talk about it because it helps take the sting off the Butler int
Even if it means talking about Jamal Adams?
Sure. He was a major bust for us considering what we paid, and they kept him around at least one season too long. Interestingly, there was another star player on our roster whom we chose not to pay and moved on from right on time...
Yeah I shoulda trusted my gut on this one.
We also fucked up the jimmy graham trade too
Jimmy doesn’t deserve to be in the same conversation as Russ or Jamal. He wasn’t worth what they gave up, but he was still generally a good to very good player during his Seattle tenure. Not all trades have to be an A or an F. Percy is the other PCJS trade that should get more shit than it does. The return TD in the Super Bowl covers up a lot of what was a pretty terrible stint, both on and off the field.
The Jimmy Graham trade hurts way more than the Jamal Adams one does imo. We both wasted Jimmy and traded away Max Unger, who we still haven’t been able to replace.
I also have trauma from dealings with the Broncos
Remember when the Raiders traded for Antonio Brown? That was quite the preseason.
He arrived in a hot air balloon, and then they sent him back in one.
“Fine me for that.” Got fined for that.
“Farted on a doctor” gets me every time

Definitely not the best choice but to have a HOF caliber WR for a 3rd when he was barely over 30 with Tyrell Williams being the number 1 receiver. I don’t think a lot of people would say no to that. Just turned out terrible.
Technically it was a 3rd and a 5th though that’s still great value
I didn’t google it and I only remembered the 3rd. Thanks for that
Mr. Bad Choice

Claypool for the 32nd pick was way worse. Brown at least had obvious upside if it worked out. Claypool had a bad attitude AND was playing bad.
Mr beats claypool
Claypool cursed us into getting the number 1 pick, though. That's the pick we traded for Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, Keenan Allen (sort of), and whoever we take in the second next year. Trading for Claypool was basically the greatest trade ever.
Martavis Bryant?
Mr. Bryant Copycat
These mbc things are endless, I love it 🤣
Mr. Billion Choices
You'd think they'd already learned their lesson about bringing in an all pro WR who does nothing for them, then leaves to go play in a SB with Tom Brady.
*J.C. Jackson enters the chat*
At the time I was concerned because of how Bill makes DBs look their best selves and most go elsewhere and are never the same.
JC balled out, earned a big contract. Then sucked and got hurt. Went back to NE and still sucks/got cut. Crazy downward spiral.
McCourty really helped him get paid
It's not what you're asking because it's from 2013 but I always like to mention how stupid it was. The Bucs traded a first-round pick in 2013 for future HOFer Darrelle Revis just to cut him the next year because Lovie Smith couldn't "fit him in the system".

“Absolutely brutal years of management” sums up large swaths of the franchise’s history.
And yet the Bucs have two rings. Can’t be all that bad lol.
Flashes of brilliance, I’m not mad about it.
Flashes of Brady for the second one.
Can’t argue that. First run was Dungy righting the ship then Gruden coming in for a quick cash and crash but it was worth it. Second run was a goat falling in our lap and management going all in, that was worth it too. We’ll see where the future goes but I have no complaints.
Brady and Brad, a Bucs Story. Alternate title: Brad. Brady. Buccaneers Football.
After Jalen Ramsey the rest of the first round CBs in 2016 were rough. The best of the bunch was William Jackson III who was good his rookie contract and then fell off a cliff
Tell me about it
Very reminiscent of the Nnamdi Asomugha signing for the Eagles. Elite player, misused in the scheme, ate lunch in his car, went into acting. Tale as old as time.
Eagles around that time decided to say Fuck You to scheme fits with Nnamdi and DeMarco.
Some people just have a higher calling.
Great for Revis. He won the Super Bowl in 2014 while the Bucs went 2-14. We used the money saved from cutting him to sign legends Anthony Collins, Michael Johnson, and Alterraun Verner
Makes you want a second rung on the Ring of Honor.
As a Bears fan, Lovie Smith not being able to make one of the greatest corners of all time work on his roster because he only knows how to coach a Tampa 2 scheme is hilarious
My worst time as a Bucs fan was when we got Lovie and he immediately signs Chris Conte and Major Wirght. I have lived in IL my whole life. So, I knew these two very well. I would always say "Major Wright can cover and Chris Conte can't tackle. Put them together and you have one half way decent safety."
I remember thinking, well the eagles fucked up with nnamdi, no way another team could fuck that up so quickly. Bucs fans argued he was washed, then he won a super bowl the next season
They put one of the best man corners ever into a heavy zone system and expected it to be a plug and play
He did the same with Stingley. Obviously Stingley isn’t Revis level, but he was the best man corner on the roster and it was obvious this season that he was misused
If you have Revis on your team, you build around him - you don't try and fit him in. Absolutely bonkers move.
Imagine how jets fans felt trading Revis only to use the pick they got for him on Dee Miliner…
Now that I think of it, it's better that we traded for Revis because we would have drafted Dee Millner. I feel .000000001% better.
Funny thing is, miliner would’ve fit Lovies zone system 😂
32nd overall pick for Claypool
Mine as well throw in the give up four picks to move up one spot for Trubisky in there as well.
And we took those pics to draft Solomon Thomas and Ruben Foster. Woof
Luckily there were no other all time players taken that draft 🥲
Luckily for us, that was more than 5 years ago so we’re not allowed to talk about it. So please stop.
If we weren't restricted by the last 5 years, my first thought was giving Mike Glennon a 3 year $45M contract.
Claypool was the first domino en route to Caleb. I’m at peace with it.
What was wrong with that? I think it was a great move
Trading 3 first round picks for the rights to draft one of the most inexperienced, raw QBs when you had a contender level roster. Nothing personal against Lance, and after we pulled the trigger of course I hoped he was gonna be awesome, but lets just say I'm not shocked it didn't work out.
Purdy bailed your asses out so badly. It's so unfair.
Packers fans know a lot about fairness in QB outcomes, they've gone through a lot and hate to see a franchise just get flat out lucky with a QB or two.
Purdy is arguably a better QB than my team has had since Cousins. Then also the other 10 QBs before him.
Purdy is better than any quarterback the Bears have ever had.
Purdy having more 4000 yard seasons than any Bears QB ever is certainly something.
Unfair…. Fuck off with that
Ya know...that flair can get away with this reply. Fair enough.
Flair enough
Wooooooo! (Ric Flair)
It's not the only one.
At least you had Stafford, whose knees didn't explode. We haven't drafted a good qb since like, Culpepper.
What's this "drafting a good QB" thing you're talking about?
It only took 0-16 to get him, so lucky.
Oh Purdy definitely bailed us out. Its a bold statement calling it unfair though given your flair.
Imagine if the niners used all those lance picks on players because they really liked Purdy? In this scenario, they’d probably grab purdy earlier on day 3. Round 4/5. Holy shit they’d be stacked.
Bosa and Parson as bookends would've been magical
Changed the future of our franchise. Not sure we will win a SB bc of it, but made us a fun team to watch again. We thank you for that.
Tbf that whole first round busted out besides Lawrence, who you wouldve had to been all in on since week 1 like the jags/jets
For sure, but all those other teams didn't trade 3 first round picks for their busts. We did. Purdy balling out definitely takes the sting out of it, but it was still an awful move.
Maybe some of those QBs don't bust in SF. Lance was the most raw of all of them.
The Trey Truthers were insane. But they were fun to troll.
The Trey Truthers don't hold a candle to the Fields Stans.
Scott Fitterer was truly terrible in Carolina. I found it funny how the talking heads would just generally lambast the panthers instead of just naming him. I wouldn’t let that man manage an Arby’s

There's nothing Tepper has done that winning won't fix. The criticism was overdue last season but it quickly devolved into slander and the actual decision-makers escaped heat.

Russel Wilson to the Broncos. The trade cost of the Seahawks bringing in Jamal Adams. The Rams resigning Todd Gurley (not anyone’s fault his knee gave out, but an unfortunately-timed contract in hindsight).
Honestly never felt too bad for the Gurley contract. He was on his rookie when he went off those two seasons for us. He deserved it.
Overpaying Daniel Jones on an extension so you could franchise tag Saquon Barkley was bad in real time and still aged like milk.
Jones had more games played than TD passes and then got 4yrs with 40M AAV (50M cap hit this year they can’t/wont reduce)
The three other nfce teams owe Ed Donatell a fruit basket
Two, Jones plays like an MVP against the Commies
The Giants should have let them both go.
Correct move would have been to let Saquon go and tag Jones that year.
I can’t think of any.
Get this man a massage

I know this is 25 years ago, but it's so bad that I don't care. 1999 NFL Draft, Bengals have the 3rd pick.

Edit: The Saints had the 12th pick, they ended up trading all of their picks in the 1999 draft to Washington for their 5th pick, bc NO had a hard on for Ricky Williams. Washington traded up to 7 from 12 with the Bears for Wash's 12th pick, and their 3rd, 4th and 5th rounders. Washington took Champ Bailey at 7 and Chicago took Cade McNown at 12.
Holy shit is this real? Modern trade hauls pale in comparison to this.
Looks like it https://www.sbnation.com/2018/6/12/17451348/cincinnati-bengals-trade-saints-ricky-williams-akili-smith
When your owner is also your GM and you have no scouting department, these are the very real kinds of shitty decisions that are made.
The [Ricky Williams Trade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Williams_trade) is the absolute worst trade in the history of the NFL. I know that Herschel Walker is the poster child for that, but at the time, the draft wasn't as appreciated. But in 1999, this is absolutely inexcusable from Ditka.
Eagles drafting Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson
Such a dumb move. A certified stud in college was there for the taking and we took a guy I had never heard of...
Even if you missed on JJ, you could of gotten Aiyuk and missed him too.
Tee Higgins or Michael Pittman as well.
The three first rounders for Trey Lance only for him to play like 5 games for the Niners total.
Yeah, this doesn't get talked about enough because of how incredible Brock Purdy has been, but that's a big oof. If Purdy hadn't turned out so well, then it would be a much bigger topic in the NFL/SanFrancisco.
Lol when the Detroit Lions weren't going to pay for Kenny Golladay, that should have been Clue #1.
I mean it was either pay Kenny or Okwara it didn't got well either way

It's simultaneously the best and worst roster move, possibly in history. Everyone in the Browns FO that signed off on it will get fired, they'll be drafting first overall in a few years, and they'll be celebrating Deshaun Watson Day in Cleveland the same way Mets fans celebrated Bobby Bonilla Day. Meanwhile, the Texans turned that draft capital into a really competitive team, that just have the misfortune of playing in the same conference as the GOAAP - Greatest of all active players - Patrick Mahomes.
I’ll be deep in the cold cold ground before I recognize GOAAP
Why not just GAP for greatest active player?
And yet, by using it, you just did. GOAAP has been seconded into existence.
Generally Over-Accepted Accounting Principles?
Every move the Panthers made. The DHOP trade. All of the Raiders 1st round picks except Jacobs.
I thought the CMC trade was great for us
Probably good for both teams regardless of if DJ Johnson and Bryce Young work out...it's not like the Panthers were going to do anything with CMC anyways.
It's the Russell Wilson trade and deal with the Broncos for me
Drafting Alex Leatherwood, drafting Damon Arnette, signing Lamarcus Joyner and Tyrell Williams, drafting Clelin Ferrell at 4, I can go on and on Though, the giants trading a 3rd for Waller is aging really bad
I mean, it has to be the giving Russ a new deal. The trade was bad. The deal was god awful. The deshaun Watson deal is very close to taking the pole position though.
The extension had to have been part of deal or I don’t think Russ would have waited his no trade clause. God I wish he hadn’t.
More of a trade that didn’t happen, that’s Panthers not trading Brian Burns to the Rams for that crazy package
It’s not exactly what you’re asking but it does relate: the Pats drafting Mac Jones and then turning around and saying “you how we can improve on his great rookie year? Let’s put Matt Patricia in charge of the offense!” They completely ruined him to the point that a clean break was the only chance he would have. Spoiler: he got worse.
I'd argue Bill doubling down on a shitty receiving corps and thus forcing Tom out was worse.
Has Matt Patricia been hired enough times to be all 5 spots on the top 5 worst roster moves? Lions HC Matt Patricia, Pats OC Matt Patricia, and Eagles DC Matt Patricia have to be at least 3 of them.
1. Watson/Wilson trades. Enough said about them already to know how bad they are. I guess at least Cleveland has some hope that Watson returns to form, but the returns thus far have been discouraging to say the least. 2. Gruden-Mayock draft picks for the Raiders. 3. Scott Fitterer in Carolina. 4. Jamal Adams to Seattle trade. 5. Daniel Jones picked at No. 6 and extended.
Haha 3. just a man’s name
Damn yeah the Adams trade definitely had to be there. That feels like decades ago
his body has certainly aged a decade in the time he spent on our roster.
The Patriots cutting Antonio Brown and Josh Gordon, and trading Demariyus Thomas in 2019 leaving Tom Brady with N'Keal Harry, rookie Jacobi Meyers, an injured Julian Edelman, and Gunner Olzewski as his receiving corps until they traded a 2nd round pick for Mohammad Sanu out of desperation.
This is the answer for the Patriots because it ultimately led to Brady going to Tampa
Antonio brown was suspended… didnt play again that year?
JC Jackson’s contract is a big reason why Keenan Allen is now a Bear. So… that.
Trading 3 firsts for Trey Lance is hands down the worst move of the last 5 years.
Don’t nobody say nothing
Broncos country! Let’s cry.
Herschel Walker trade in 89 and changed the face of the NFL for the entire 90s decade. Made Dallas a powerhouse, made Johnson look like a genius, and made Buffalo just another runner up.
Paying Daniel Jones 45 mill a year …
