Ranking 5 worst decisions of the 2022 NFL offseason ft. Carson Wentz and Davante Adams

Worst transactions of the 2022 NFL offseason

#3 - Dallas Cowboys botch re-signing Randy Gregory

Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Randy Gregory

The Dallas Cowboys' decision to re-sign Randy Gregory will be one of their top prioties during the 2022 NFL offseason. One of the reasons why they traded away Amari Cooper was to free up the necessary cap space to extend Gregory.

After initially agreeing to terms on the financial part of the contract, Gregory backed out of the deal because he was frustrated with some of the finer details that the Cowboys wanted to add to the contract. He, instead, signed a new contract with the Denver Broncos.

#2 - Jacksonville Jaguars overpay for Christian Kirk

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk

Christian Kirk entered the 2022 NFL offseason as a free agent wide receiver with youth and upside, but wasn't really considered by many to be an elite talent at the position. The Jacksonville Jaguars apparently disagreed with that opinion by signing him to a massive contract.

The Jaguars gave Kirk a four-year contract worth $72 million with more than half of it coming in guaranteed money. The move appears to be a huge gamble, as Kirk has never reached 80 receptions or 1,000 receiving yards in any season of his entire career.

#1 - Washington Commanders make a desperate trade for Carson Wentz

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz

The Washington Commanders claimed they would be aggressive in their pursuit of finding an upgrade to their quarterback position during the 2022 NFL offseason. While it makes sense to believe they need to do better than Taylor Heinicke to be legitimate contenders this year, they may have reached for Carson Wentz.

The Commanders surrendered multiple draft picks in the first three rounds to acquire the questionable quarterback. They also took on his massive AAV of $32 million. Wentz has thrown 22 interceptions and fumbled 18 times over the last two seasons while posting a 12-16 record. The Commanders may have done the Indianapolis Colts a favor by taking him.
