About a week before the free agency period hit, I mentioned my support on Twitter for the possible signing of Donte Moncrief. When the point of cost came up as an understandable objection, I quickly pivoted to a cheaper option I had also liked out of the list of free agent receivers – John Brown.
If you think about it, Moncrief and Brown have had similar arcs in the early stages of their NFL careers. After being drafted in 2014, both players had immensely disappointing seasons in 2016 and 2017 after turning it up in 2015 and looking like breakout candidates.
