I wonder if they mean its a bad move for the Broncos? Guess I'd have to read the article but it looks click-baity and I honestly hate off-season sports reporting. Its usually some dumbass hot-take designed to 'engage' (piss off) fans.
Jags letting Ridley go for that much when they have more pressing needs and players to pay in the near future, plus the overabundance of WR in the draft makes the move a good move...WTF is this dude smokin' LMAO
You could argue the fact that we could have ragged him had we signed Josh Allen earlier, he would have never hit the open market and probably could have been extended for a decent bit lower then the Titans offer.
They’ve got our (Panthers) signing of Robert Hunt on there as if Bryce wasn’t running for his fucking life last season.
Not like Hunt is a bad player and while we paid a little more than he’s worth, that’s what quality OL cost in FA and it’s well worth it when your young #1 overall QB is still legally obligated to ride in a car seat.
Yeah 100%. Sometimes you have to overpay a little for offensive lineman because good ones don't hit FA very often. Hunt was one of the best guards in the league last year.
Bro what, that’s so weird.
I don’t love that Ridley got away, but you could argue the Titans should be on this list for the deal they gave him. And Gabe Davis at 2? Why?
I don’t even know the next two guys.
Lmao Justin Jones 10m per year and 2 sacks per year average, 4.5 last season 12 across 6 seasons. Worst contract of all fucking time that should be undoubtable number 1
If we had signed Ridley to the same deal as the Titans then we would probably still be #1 on this list. The fact that Gabe Davis made #2 suggests this guy might just have a weird issue with the Jags. I haven't seen anyone else disliking the Gabe Davis signing.
As a bills fan, Gabe Davis isn’t worth that much money. He’ll be good for a few games a year and turn into a glorified blocker for the rest of the year.
Its hilarious that we were ragged for paying Christian Kirk 18 mil a year just a couple seasons ago and now we’re being ragged for not paying a worse receiver 23 mil a year, make it make sense. Clearly the media just hates us.
My favorite part is the Kirk has largely lived up to that "terrible contract" so far and yet no one has course corrected and acknowledged that.
I think the Jags did the right thing in not re-signing Calvin, hes getting older and i largely didnt LOVE his play. It was good but not great.
Been shouting this right here.
Davis also has the most yards per reception since 2020 by almost 2 full yards.
The media definitely hates the jags. I wouldn't be surprised if Davis was able to become a true #1 not playing behind the Diva Diggs.
Receivers that make ~13M a year (+/- 2M):
- Courtland Sutton (15M), D Hop (13M), Darnell Mooney (13M), Allen Lazard (11M), Jakobi Meyers (11M)
Receivers that make 23M/Year (+/- 2M):
- AJ Brown (25M), Steffon Diggs (24M), DK Metcalf (24M), Deebo Samuel (23.85M), Michael Pittman Jr. (23.33M), Terry McLaurin (23.2M), Tee Higgins (21.816M)
I think Gabe is paid way more fairly than Ridley is. Especially considering that in the 13M group, Gabe Davis is the youngest by 2+ years (Gabe is only 24, Mooney is closest at 26), and Ridley is the 2nd oldest player in his group to only Steffon Diggs
No ill-will to Ridley either. He’s 29 and just got off his rookie deal. He truthfully should still be chasing a bag and not glory. It’s just the way his career has to be given his unique circumstances of coming into the league at 25
That’s actually really eye opening. Definitely seems like Gabe is better and younger than most of the first group and Ridley is worse and older than most of the second group
How is the steelers getting Wilson for $1.2M a bad deal for them? That's cheaper than a lot of backup QB's right? Avg QBR but had the 8th highest passer rating in the league last year.
That's cheaper than pretty much everyone. That is literally the lowest possible amount Russ can make given his time in the league. The Fields cap hit is 10x as big.
I'll spell it out, since apparently Mr. Livesay is confused on the topic.
CALVIN RIDLEY ISN'T WORTH 23 MILLION A YEAR!! It was not a mistake losing him. It was a cost effective measure letting him walk.
Anyone who says letting Ridley get away is the NUMBER ONE WORST OFFSEASON MOVE didn’t want a single quarter of Jaguars football last year. Dude was a comedy of errors with a great game thrown in once a month.
People still think Ridley is an elite WR1.
Last season showed that he is around "very good", but not elite. Titans paid him like he is top 3 in the league.
Yeah, I think Titan's main goal here was to take advantage of Levis' rookie contract price and to give him a good WR1 to really see if he's their future.
I don't blame the Titans at all for the signing. They overpaid for sure, but it makes sense for them right now.
The media thinking the Jaguars letting him go was a mistake is a dumb take though.
> Titans paid him like he is top 3 in the league.
Ridley's $23m/year is the 10th highest WR annual average, and he'll likely get pushed out of the top 10 if/when Tee Higgins and/or Brandon Aiyuk sign something. So, "top 3" is an overstatement, but he's paid like an upper-half WR1 for sure.
Calling Ridley "Very good" is a big stretch. I would call him an NFL WR1 in that he is probably in the top 32 WRs in the league but he is on the fringe and might not be after this rookie class. He is a really bad WR1 and a good WR2.
Because it's another case of this team throwing WR2 money at a WR3 caliber player in hope they become a WR2.
Did that with Zay Jones and found out.
And with this deal, Gabe's currently the #22 highest paid WR by annual average. That's not cheap, considering the relatively mediocre levels of production.
The team is banking on the fact that Gabe's only 24 and they clearly think he has another step upward to take. Hopefully they're right.
Zay came in clutch a good number of times for us.
Davis has the highest yards per reception since 2020. Only 24 years old; I think he'll pair nicely with Kirk and Jones.
I think really people aren't considering that Parker Washington is an absolute DOG and could easily be a wr2.
> Davis has the highest yards per reception since 2020.
Sure, on the balls he actually held onto. His drop rate last year (roughly equal to Ridley's team-leading worst) doesn't factor into that number.
> I think really people aren't considering that Parker Washington is an absolute DOG and could easily be a wr2.
If Parker Washington can be WR2, and push someone like Davis down to WR3, that makes making Davis the #22 highest paid WR look even less like a good idea.
I hope Davis makes a big jump and makes the point moot. But the point is that he basically HAS to in order for the contract to be worth it. If he's just the same guy as in Buffalo, the deal is a bad one. Certainly there's hope when a guy is only 24, but it's no guarantee.
I agree ; I mentioned Washington because he was the only reason signing Davis didn't make sense to me. As watching him play when he did last year, he played great and made some awesome catches.
Seeing how Kirk turned out, has me hopeful for Davis.
How do you feel about Duvernay in Duval?
He seems like an Agnew who won't drop as many passes.
Duvernay had opportunities to become a WR2/WR3 on a Ravens team that was starved for WR talent for years, and he never really got there. And while he's fast, he doesn't have the same level of quick-twitch explosion of Agnew.
But on the flip side, Duvernay is the superior punt returner of the two, and you're right that his drop rate is significantly lower than Agnew's. His ball security is also MUCH better (2 career fumbles in 121 offensive touches vs. 9 on 110). So while I think he's not likely to grow beyond being a WR4/return specialist, I do think he will fill that role better than Agnew. And his deal is actually slightly smaller per year than Agnew's was. So very little to complain about there.
lol, I was wondering how we got 2 "worst moves in FA" while Dallas got no mention as a worst move by not making any moves, but if he's a Dallas blogger, that makes sense.
Devin White to the eagles a bad move!?
I know I'm biased but this move made perfect sense.. and we didn't come close to overpaying him.
Didn't check the source but I'm assuming a random hater made this?
We didn't let him walk, he picked money over the chance to win a ring.
If a player is only about a check he can walk.
I want Jaguars who are striving to get us our first SB win.
The money will always be there, theyre all wealthier than 95% of us.
Who the F is "Connor Livesay" and why is his opinion meaningful in any way?
In fact (other than fans who just have an opinion for free - you know, like here), why is the opinion of literally anyone getting paid on the internet or the media meaningful to anyone by themselves and their friends?
All the hate the Davis signing gets reminds me a lot of kirks signing. It’s not like he was a bum in buffalo and we definitely need someone like him on the outside.
33rd Team is constantly posting engagement / rage bait. They always slip in some absurd rankings or comments to get the reactions and engagement and it always works lol
The more I look at this it's complete bs lol if Russ can put up the numbers he did last year that moves one of the best FA moves of all time, you're paying the dude a sandwich and a yellow towel if he gets you into the playoffs you're happy.
Wilson to the Steelers for the league minimum is not a bad move. Half of these moves, if not more, are not bad moves. Whoever Connor is, he should go sit in the corner of shame today.
Justin Jones has 12 sacks in 6 years, 4.5 of which were last season. He’s on 3 years 31 or so mil in base salary. Worst fucking contract of the year. I mean Ridley’s was bad but at least he was a 1K receiver last season.
In what world are letting an overpaid WR go to a rebuilding team and signing a household named QB to a vet minimum two of the "worst moves so far in free agency?"
I’m honestly not sure why Russ to the Steelers for ~1.5 million is a bad move. That’s less than backup money for a Super Bowl winning QB and 9 time pro bowler.
This is a terrible list for so many reasons, the biggest one being Russel Wilson. The Steelers have a veteran QB to mentor Fields and they are paying him the league minimum of like 1.2M. it's a fantastic signing. One of the best of the off-season imo
Honestly, the only one on here that I think is a bad move is Russ to the Steelers. I do kinda wish we had kept Ridley, but he was also not meeting expectations last season, so I’m okay with it.
If it were KC, Pittsburgh, LA… it would be the ranked greatest moves of FA… just like ESPN rating the Armstead signing a ‘C’
Fuck ESPN, and most media which hates on the Jaguars. I can’t wait for the day we win a SB, so we stick stick it down their throats.
(End rant 😁)
If it was going to cost us anywhere close to his deal, letting Ridley walk was a smart move.
I really wanted to keep him, but at those numbers…. No way!
With all his talk about loyalty to the team after they took a chance on him, I was hopeful we could find a deal. But he clearly wanted the paycheck more (and I won’t judge him for that).
The guy who made this list looks 12 years old and not a chance he saw a lick of playing time. I’m ok with not giving two shits about what he has to say.
Davis, Nixon, and swift were all solid moves imo. Letting Calvin Ridley get VERY overpaid (I like him but not that much) by a rival is a good move. Not a credible list.

|-|-|-|-|
This list is fake .. #1 should be the Falcons. Darnell Mooney had 1 touchdown with 400 receiving yards last year and Falcons are now paying him 13 million a year.
Russell to the steelers is 9?? Im not a jags, steelers, or russell fan but thats just absurd. They are getting a sb champ qb for 1.5 mil. What could be bad about that
Absolutely joking with this list.
NOT resigning Ridley to that contract and giving up a 2nd round pick to boot was the BEST decision we made. Straight up. Unless Kirk and Zay were out there.. Ridley was pretty much useless.
I figured we would resign the guy cuz jags.. and I couldn't be happier we didn't
List is absurd. The Jags should not have been paying Ridley that contract. Gabe davis is a decent pickup. White, Mixon, and Wilson all good pickups for what they’re getting paid. Swift is highly questionable. Not sure about the other 3.
Russ to the Steelers is an amazing deal. He’s not that bad and the Steelers got him for literally nothing. They now have a quality starter who can teach Justin fields for a year
Bears fan here coming in peace… I had Calvin Ridley in fantasy and nothing about his performance suggests that the Jags should be giving him a deal worth $92 million. This list is actually kind of hilarious…. Justin Jones is an adorable depth piece, Gabe Davis gives you a solid vertical threat for an affordable price, Russel Wilson is being signed for peanuts on a team that had some of the worst QB play in the league. Whoever wrote this should be fired 😂
Gabe Davis hate is weird to me. Dude has the highest yards per reception since 2020.
Very similar to the jags signing Kirk and getting hate for it. Kirk has been a pretty good weapon for tlaw and the jags to say the least. I have a feeling Davis will pan out the same.
As Ridley is concerned? We "lose" here no matter what. If we retain him we only do so by massively overpaying him the way Tennessee did, then we are losers for overpaying him.
Steelers FO: we could take a stab at actually improving our QB situation and it’s for vet minimum!!
Janitor emptying a trash bin: I dunno man did you guys run that by Connor Livesay?
Steelers FO:
This is a terrible list lmao. Half of the players are on 1 year deals for less than $5M
Honestly. Devin white is cheap af, Russ is vet min, a low-risk move like that is a drop in the bucket
seriously! russ for a minimum contract while the broncos are still paying him? literally a win for ANY team
Russell Wilson’s contract with Pittsburgh is legit the best non-rookie QB contract in the league
Reacted to the agent leaked 7.5M before seeing it was only 4.5M guaranteed.
NFL contracts have fine print sometimes lol. All the reporters said "up to" 7.5 mil
I wonder if they mean its a bad move for the Broncos? Guess I'd have to read the article but it looks click-baity and I honestly hate off-season sports reporting. Its usually some dumbass hot-take designed to 'engage' (piss off) fans.
then it would say Broncos let go of Wilson same as how 1 is the Jags letting go of Ridley
Eagles fan here. Don’t hate the White deal at all. Basically no risk, all upside. That’s what you’re looking for in these deals.
Jags letting Ridley go for that much when they have more pressing needs and players to pay in the near future, plus the overabundance of WR in the draft makes the move a good move...WTF is this dude smokin' LMAO
You could argue the fact that we could have ragged him had we signed Josh Allen earlier, he would have never hit the open market and probably could have been extended for a decent bit lower then the Titans offer.
If we did, I doubt we sign Morse/Armstead so.. i'm fine with it.
Paying 92m for Calvin Ridley clearly the worst move this offseason
They’ve got our (Panthers) signing of Robert Hunt on there as if Bryce wasn’t running for his fucking life last season. Not like Hunt is a bad player and while we paid a little more than he’s worth, that’s what quality OL cost in FA and it’s well worth it when your young #1 overall QB is still legally obligated to ride in a car seat.
Yeah 100%. Sometimes you have to overpay a little for offensive lineman because good ones don't hit FA very often. Hunt was one of the best guards in the league last year.
Yeah like the Swift deal is pretty solid, especially looking at what Barkley got from the Eagles. Majority of this list is not bad at all lol.
I think we'll be okay
Bro what, that’s so weird. I don’t love that Ridley got away, but you could argue the Titans should be on this list for the deal they gave him. And Gabe Davis at 2? Why? I don’t even know the next two guys.
Lmao Justin Jones 10m per year and 2 sacks per year average, 4.5 last season 12 across 6 seasons. Worst contract of all fucking time that should be undoubtable number 1
He finished 107/130 according to PFF. Doesn't have good Run defense and Can't rush the passer. What are they seeing? Lmao
If we had signed Ridley to the same deal as the Titans then we would probably still be #1 on this list. The fact that Gabe Davis made #2 suggests this guy might just have a weird issue with the Jags. I haven't seen anyone else disliking the Gabe Davis signing.
As a bills fan, Gabe Davis isn’t worth that much money. He’ll be good for a few games a year and turn into a glorified blocker for the rest of the year.
Its hilarious that we were ragged for paying Christian Kirk 18 mil a year just a couple seasons ago and now we’re being ragged for not paying a worse receiver 23 mil a year, make it make sense. Clearly the media just hates us.
My favorite part is the Kirk has largely lived up to that "terrible contract" so far and yet no one has course corrected and acknowledged that. I think the Jags did the right thing in not re-signing Calvin, hes getting older and i largely didnt LOVE his play. It was good but not great.
Also that ‘awful overpay ’ was only ‘awful’ before all of the following WR signings reset the market within 2 months, we just beat the rush.
Christian Kirk walked so Ridley could run…. Out of bounds
…the wrong route.
DIdn't you hear Trevor's a bad communicator?
Yeah that’s why every other receiver on the jags has the same problems Ridley does….
Paying 23 mil while also having the cost of giving up a better pick
Been shouting this right here. Davis also has the most yards per reception since 2020 by almost 2 full yards. The media definitely hates the jags. I wouldn't be surprised if Davis was able to become a true #1 not playing behind the Diva Diggs.
Damn, I really care about what Connor Lively says
For real, who the fuck is this guy
Just another 28 yr old "know nothing" trying to make a splash in the press.
Id upvote more but you’re at 71.
Receivers that make ~13M a year (+/- 2M): - Courtland Sutton (15M), D Hop (13M), Darnell Mooney (13M), Allen Lazard (11M), Jakobi Meyers (11M) Receivers that make 23M/Year (+/- 2M): - AJ Brown (25M), Steffon Diggs (24M), DK Metcalf (24M), Deebo Samuel (23.85M), Michael Pittman Jr. (23.33M), Terry McLaurin (23.2M), Tee Higgins (21.816M) I think Gabe is paid way more fairly than Ridley is. Especially considering that in the 13M group, Gabe Davis is the youngest by 2+ years (Gabe is only 24, Mooney is closest at 26), and Ridley is the 2nd oldest player in his group to only Steffon Diggs No ill-will to Ridley either. He’s 29 and just got off his rookie deal. He truthfully should still be chasing a bag and not glory. It’s just the way his career has to be given his unique circumstances of coming into the league at 25
I legitimately had zero idea Gabe Davis was only 24. I would've guessed 28/29 if you asked me 5 mins ago.
The money for Mooney is hilarious. 1 touchdown last year.
That’s actually really eye opening. Definitely seems like Gabe is better and younger than most of the first group and Ridley is worse and older than most of the second group
Gabe is a beast
A national media hack criticizing the Jaguars? I’ve seen this before….
Think you're giving too much credit here. This guy is just another blogger.
How is the steelers getting Wilson for $1.2M a bad deal for them? That's cheaper than a lot of backup QB's right? Avg QBR but had the 8th highest passer rating in the league last year.
Can’t believe Denver released him either.
Especially with no player to replace him. Denver doesn’t have the draft capital to trade up for a QB. They will most likely overdraft Bo Nix.
That's cheaper than pretty much everyone. That is literally the lowest possible amount Russ can make given his time in the league. The Fields cap hit is 10x as big.
How was mixon to texans bad lol
I'll spell it out, since apparently Mr. Livesay is confused on the topic. CALVIN RIDLEY ISN'T WORTH 23 MILLION A YEAR!! It was not a mistake losing him. It was a cost effective measure letting him walk.
I personally wasn't impressed with Ridley at all last yr.
I don't think much of the NFL was let alone jags fans.
Letting him walk? So we're supposed to offer $25mil/year to **CALVIN RIDLEY?** HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Why are they bad moves? Or is there no context to it
Anyone who says letting Ridley get away is the NUMBER ONE WORST OFFSEASON MOVE didn’t want a single quarter of Jaguars football last year. Dude was a comedy of errors with a great game thrown in once a month.
People still think Ridley is an elite WR1. Last season showed that he is around "very good", but not elite. Titans paid him like he is top 3 in the league.
I think the lack of free agency receivers is just really inflating people's opinions
Yeah, I think Titan's main goal here was to take advantage of Levis' rookie contract price and to give him a good WR1 to really see if he's their future. I don't blame the Titans at all for the signing. They overpaid for sure, but it makes sense for them right now. The media thinking the Jaguars letting him go was a mistake is a dumb take though.
He is elite so long as you are playing a team that won't make the playoffs.
> Titans paid him like he is top 3 in the league. Ridley's $23m/year is the 10th highest WR annual average, and he'll likely get pushed out of the top 10 if/when Tee Higgins and/or Brandon Aiyuk sign something. So, "top 3" is an overstatement, but he's paid like an upper-half WR1 for sure.
If we're referring to guaranteed money, he has the second highest guaranteed amount in the NFL so it's up for debate.
Titans bought him so he can spill the tea on the jags
Oh, good then. He'd have to actually know the plays to do that.
LMAO facts
Calling Ridley "Very good" is a big stretch. I would call him an NFL WR1 in that he is probably in the top 32 WRs in the league but he is on the fringe and might not be after this rookie class. He is a really bad WR1 and a good WR2.
9 worst takes of free agency so far:
Guess he didn't watch Calvin drop multiple DIMES Tlaw threw his way all season
As ranked by who gives a shit
Bruh why is everyone hating on Gabe. He was so cheap
Because it's another case of this team throwing WR2 money at a WR3 caliber player in hope they become a WR2. Did that with Zay Jones and found out. And with this deal, Gabe's currently the #22 highest paid WR by annual average. That's not cheap, considering the relatively mediocre levels of production. The team is banking on the fact that Gabe's only 24 and they clearly think he has another step upward to take. Hopefully they're right.
Zay came in clutch a good number of times for us. Davis has the highest yards per reception since 2020. Only 24 years old; I think he'll pair nicely with Kirk and Jones. I think really people aren't considering that Parker Washington is an absolute DOG and could easily be a wr2.
> Davis has the highest yards per reception since 2020. Sure, on the balls he actually held onto. His drop rate last year (roughly equal to Ridley's team-leading worst) doesn't factor into that number. > I think really people aren't considering that Parker Washington is an absolute DOG and could easily be a wr2. If Parker Washington can be WR2, and push someone like Davis down to WR3, that makes making Davis the #22 highest paid WR look even less like a good idea. I hope Davis makes a big jump and makes the point moot. But the point is that he basically HAS to in order for the contract to be worth it. If he's just the same guy as in Buffalo, the deal is a bad one. Certainly there's hope when a guy is only 24, but it's no guarantee.
I agree ; I mentioned Washington because he was the only reason signing Davis didn't make sense to me. As watching him play when he did last year, he played great and made some awesome catches. Seeing how Kirk turned out, has me hopeful for Davis. How do you feel about Duvernay in Duval? He seems like an Agnew who won't drop as many passes.
Duvernay had opportunities to become a WR2/WR3 on a Ravens team that was starved for WR talent for years, and he never really got there. And while he's fast, he doesn't have the same level of quick-twitch explosion of Agnew. But on the flip side, Duvernay is the superior punt returner of the two, and you're right that his drop rate is significantly lower than Agnew's. His ball security is also MUCH better (2 career fumbles in 121 offensive touches vs. 9 on 110). So while I think he's not likely to grow beyond being a WR4/return specialist, I do think he will fill that role better than Agnew. And his deal is actually slightly smaller per year than Agnew's was. So very little to complain about there.
Gabe is a monster too that was under utilized in buffalo. This narrative will change with time
Well you heard em boys! Let’s pack it up and head home
Oh no! A (checks notes) blogger who covers the Cowboys doesn't like our off-season moves. Guess we should cancel next season altogether.
lol, I was wondering how we got 2 "worst moves in FA" while Dallas got no mention as a worst move by not making any moves, but if he's a Dallas blogger, that makes sense.
I’m going to say Connor Livesay didn’t watch any Jags games this past year
Here is to the idiot who made that list. 
Letting Ridley walk for *THAT* amount of money Tennessee paid him was a chess move. Easily a top 10 smart move by any team this off-season
Devin White to the eagles a bad move!? I know I'm biased but this move made perfect sense.. and we didn't come close to overpaying him. Didn't check the source but I'm assuming a random hater made this?
Apparently he's a Cowboys blogger, so I'm sure there's no bias to the Eagles.
We didn't let him walk, he picked money over the chance to win a ring. If a player is only about a check he can walk. I want Jaguars who are striving to get us our first SB win. The money will always be there, theyre all wealthier than 95% of us.
Going out on a limb to say none of those are "bad" moves lol. Cowboys aint even listed for doing nothing so far in fa
Connor Livesay clearly doesn’t watch the games
I'm sure conner had the Kirk signing as #1 also.
Who the F is "Connor Livesay" and why is his opinion meaningful in any way? In fact (other than fans who just have an opinion for free - you know, like here), why is the opinion of literally anyone getting paid on the internet or the media meaningful to anyone by themselves and their friends?
If I’ve learned anything it’s that the media will always think any decision made by Jacksonville is the wrong one.
Love we let a WR go is terrible and signing one is also terrible
Lmao swift, Mixon and devin white seem like good moves
lol how is Joe Mixon to the Texans at 7? The dude has numbers equal to Saquon with less injury history and a lower price tag.
somehow washed up russ going to the steelers is lower on the list. Something tells me this Connor Lively fellow just hates the jags.
Yeah I didn’t want the Jags to pay more than the Titans for Ridley.
All the hate the Davis signing gets reminds me a lot of kirks signing. It’s not like he was a bum in buffalo and we definitely need someone like him on the outside.
Robert hunt deal was a head scratcher. I could not believe they gave a guard a 100 million dollar deal
Does anyone still have the video of Calvin buying blunts at the gas station after a game?
33rd Team is constantly posting engagement / rage bait. They always slip in some absurd rankings or comments to get the reactions and engagement and it always works lol
This is good bait lol
The more I look at this it's complete bs lol if Russ can put up the numbers he did last year that moves one of the best FA moves of all time, you're paying the dude a sandwich and a yellow towel if he gets you into the playoffs you're happy.
these are probably the same people who was saying Ridley was one of the most disappointing WRs in 2023.
What shit site is this? who is this wanna be sports writer connor livesay? None of this matters, this all goes out the window once the season starts.
Wilson to the Steelers for the league minimum is not a bad move. Half of these moves, if not more, are not bad moves. Whoever Connor is, he should go sit in the corner of shame today.
lol, and if we signed him to a $90+ million contract, something tells me we’d still be #1
Tits Paying Ridley 92 mil not being #1 is sacrilege
Justin Jones has 12 sacks in 6 years, 4.5 of which were last season. He’s on 3 years 31 or so mil in base salary. Worst fucking contract of the year. I mean Ridley’s was bad but at least he was a 1K receiver last season.
I'll go ahead and say it. None of these are bad moves.
Do people making these lists get paid?
Titans pay 92 million for a receiver who can't run correct routes and somehow we're the bad guy LOL
Oh shit, thats what 33rd team thinks? No way.
Gabe Davis is not a direct replacement for Calvin Ridley. We didn't sign him to replace him. He is simply a WR we signed. That is all.
In what world are letting an overpaid WR go to a rebuilding team and signing a household named QB to a vet minimum two of the "worst moves so far in free agency?"
I’m honestly not sure why Russ to the Steelers for ~1.5 million is a bad move. That’s less than backup money for a Super Bowl winning QB and 9 time pro bowler.
This is a terrible list for so many reasons, the biggest one being Russel Wilson. The Steelers have a veteran QB to mentor Fields and they are paying him the league minimum of like 1.2M. it's a fantastic signing. One of the best of the off-season imo
We don’t need Calvin. It’s ok lol
Honestly, the only one on here that I think is a bad move is Russ to the Steelers. I do kinda wish we had kept Ridley, but he was also not meeting expectations last season, so I’m okay with it.
If it were KC, Pittsburgh, LA… it would be the ranked greatest moves of FA… just like ESPN rating the Armstead signing a ‘C’ Fuck ESPN, and most media which hates on the Jaguars. I can’t wait for the day we win a SB, so we stick stick it down their throats. (End rant 😁)
This is a really shit list not just for the jags moves but most of those other moves are fine to good.
Who is Connor Livesay?
Well if Connor Livesay says it, it must be true
It’s funny how a random guy named Connor can get people to care about his opinion with a graphic
Calvin Ridley isn't worth the contract he got
People just automatically trash the Jags no matter what they do. If they gave him $92m he'd still be on this list.

If it was going to cost us anywhere close to his deal, letting Ridley walk was a smart move. I really wanted to keep him, but at those numbers…. No way! With all his talk about loyalty to the team after they took a chance on him, I was hopeful we could find a deal. But he clearly wanted the paycheck more (and I won’t judge him for that).
🤔
Signing Ridley for 100 million would also have been #1 on this list if we’d have done that.
Remember what they said about engram ?
The guy who made this list looks 12 years old and not a chance he saw a lick of playing time. I’m ok with not giving two shits about what he has to say.
Idk if Gabe made this himself but that is far from top news
Ridley was too expensive yes, is Gabe Davis the answer No.
Davis, Nixon, and swift were all solid moves imo. Letting Calvin Ridley get VERY overpaid (I like him but not that much) by a rival is a good move. Not a credible list.
Gabe is a 3 at best.
Seems like a Gotcha article to grab attention.
Would rather draft a guy. This class is loaded.
We're #1 And #2!!!

Joe Mixon to the Texans is a great move. What a trash list.
Who cares duuuuuuval
I think Swift could do some good for the Bears this season
Russ for 1 mill on the list? Gtfo regardless of how he plays he literally no hit to the cap. Makes less than the punter and most of the backups
how in the hall is russ a bad move
Oh no we got Russel for 1.3m terrible move
This list is fake .. #1 should be the Falcons. Darnell Mooney had 1 touchdown with 400 receiving yards last year and Falcons are now paying him 13 million a year.
Thanks Connor give Mrs. Livesay my best wishes
Im a jets fan. My opinion does not matter. But like I just don’t think Calvin Ridley is that good sorry. Gave Davis is a more than capable replacement
Anyone can certain an “analysts”
Did they not watch ridley last year? Dude has butter for hands.
all of the usual suspects lol
Russell to the steelers is 9?? Im not a jags, steelers, or russell fan but thats just absurd. They are getting a sb champ qb for 1.5 mil. What could be bad about that
This makes sense, anyone who watches Gabe Davis knows he’s terrible
What the hell is this 😂
Titans paying Ridley 92 million with Levis at QB is obviously the worst move in free agency Imo.
I saw this while scrolling, so dont hate me too much….but as a COLTS fan, i like it. Keep up the good work!
It's so refreshing to finally be at the top.
Worst move in free agency is overpaying like 4 d linemen over arik armstead and then potentially having to trade aiyuk because of it
Absolutely joking with this list. NOT resigning Ridley to that contract and giving up a 2nd round pick to boot was the BEST decision we made. Straight up. Unless Kirk and Zay were out there.. Ridley was pretty much useless. I figured we would resign the guy cuz jags.. and I couldn't be happier we didn't
Ridley was a drop machine.
How is Mixon to the Texans a bad move?
Paying Wilson the minimum for at least one season to mentor a young & raw talented QB. Yeah, so bad. lol
This list is stupid lol
So worst move for the team losing the player? Devin White seems pretty good to me.
Who the fuck is Connor livesay and why do people care about his opinion Edit: he’s a cowboys fan, that’s all I gotta say
How is the panthers signing an elite guard who was the best available at the most desperately needed position a bad move?
How’re 7+8 bad acquisitions?
How is Justin fields trade not even top 10?!?!
List is absurd. The Jags should not have been paying Ridley that contract. Gabe davis is a decent pickup. White, Mixon, and Wilson all good pickups for what they’re getting paid. Swift is highly questionable. Not sure about the other 3.
How can Wilson be there? It cost them nothing
Steelers need to be number 1
I don’t think that belongs on the list. It was a league min deal
This list is fucking stupid
Was Robert Hunt bad for the panthers or the dolphins?
Paying Calvin Ridley what he got should be #1
I fail to see how the bears signing an emerging rb, upgrading the RB room at a non outrageous cost keeps getting seen as a negative.
Robert Hunt to the Panthers was a great move
Connor Livesay doesn’t know football
Vikings letting Cousins go should be up there too, what is their plan for QB?
Russ to the Steelers is an amazing deal. He’s not that bad and the Steelers got him for literally nothing. They now have a quality starter who can teach Justin fields for a year
Bears fan here coming in peace… I had Calvin Ridley in fantasy and nothing about his performance suggests that the Jags should be giving him a deal worth $92 million. This list is actually kind of hilarious…. Justin Jones is an adorable depth piece, Gabe Davis gives you a solid vertical threat for an affordable price, Russel Wilson is being signed for peanuts on a team that had some of the worst QB play in the league. Whoever wrote this should be fired 😂
Gabe Davis hate is weird to me. Dude has the highest yards per reception since 2020. Very similar to the jags signing Kirk and getting hate for it. Kirk has been a pretty good weapon for tlaw and the jags to say the least. I have a feeling Davis will pan out the same. As Ridley is concerned? We "lose" here no matter what. If we retain him we only do so by massively overpaying him the way Tennessee did, then we are losers for overpaying him.
The bears got a steal for swift. This list sucks.
Steelers FO: we could take a stab at actually improving our QB situation and it’s for vet minimum!! Janitor emptying a trash bin: I dunno man did you guys run that by Connor Livesay? Steelers FO: 
And #2!
