I think some of these players get carried away during the free agency period by the agents. It’s in the agent’s best interest to get the highest contract for themselves, I mean the players. Before the players even know it, they have a very hard time turning down offer the agent is likely pressuring them to not to refuse. Next thing they know, they’re on a different team. I get that the buck stops at the player, but these are young guys and are highly impressionable.
I don’t see it this way. In fact, it’s more commendable than players like Jones where money was the #1 concern. Changing jobs and moving to a new city didn’t sound like something he wanted to do. For some, it isn’t just about winning a championship or money.
Yeah, I hear you. But, as we all know, I’m sure Beane has a plan. They may be targeting someone in FA or may have identified multiple players they would be happy with on their draft board. Their plan for getting Allen was like trying to shoot a bullet through the head of a needle, but it worked out.

This trade needs the proper context. Instead of picking TJ Graham, we could’ve had a Superbowl win plus 2 1st rounds, 2 2nd rounders, Shelby Harris, Noah Fant, and Drew Lock (who could’ve been our backup going into 2022).
