As we slide into the NFL's eBay this week, oodles of yarn will be spun about who is the right fit for which organization. GM phone calls will jack up market value, somewhat analogous to you randomly getting in a bidding war with a truck driver over a beer stein from the 1988 Octoberfest. Hey, if it helps the Bears or 49ers or another team win, all good.
Predicting which team will hit or miss with, say, Alshon Jeffery? Not always good. Ahh, but a year's reflection makes evaluating GM moves easier. With that in mind, below are the top 16 free-agent acquisitions of the 2016 offseason -- based on productivity, relative cost and team results. There were so many fruitful signings that solid contributors like Jared Cook and Josh Sitton failed to make the list. Let us know if this rundown is solid: @HarrisonNFL is the place.
