I hate the strategy of throwing a bunch of draft picks against the wall and seeing which one sticks.
And Tennessee got a heck of a deal with Matthews. $5 mill average per year for a receiver who has put up 1740 yards and 13 TDs in the past two years? On a run-oriented team no less.
Quote:Brandon LaFell (1yr/$2.5m + 2yr/$9m)
He got a 1yr/$2.5m deal for 2016, put up okay-ish stats, only because he was force-fed the ball with AJ Green injured. Both Wallace and Matthews were available instead.
Then 2017 rolled around and they gave him the 2yr/$9m deal and he completely unsurprisingly turded it up.
That's why I listed both LaFell contracts.
