At first glance, it seems like a simple equation.
Bad teams improve when they add good players. Therefore bad teams shouldn’t pass up on the chance to add talent anywhere it can be found.
The New York Jets are a bad football team. Le’Veon Bell is a good player (a great one actually) who just hit the free agent market. Many Jets fans understandably reason that their team should do whatever it takes to sign Bell.
However, in the complex world of the NFL, simple equations do not cut it. Every decision carries with it a set of pros and cons that must be carefully considered.
