5 worst free agency signings of 2022 NFL offseason feat. Christian Kirk

3. Laken Tomlinson

San Francisco 49ers v Jacksonville Jaguars

The New York Jets’ pickup of San Francisco 49ers guard Laken Tomlinson is an upgrade on what they had in 2021. It can, however, easily be argued the Jets overpaid for Tomlinson.

He was given a three-year $40 million contract with $27 million guaranteed. While he did make the 2021 Pro Bowl, is Tomlinson worth that contract as he’s already on the wrong side of 30?

2 . Marcus Maye

New York Jets v Indianapolis Colts

The New Orleans Saints opted to allow safety Marcus Williams to leave the Baltimore Ravens during the 2022 free agency. They replaced him with Marcus Maye from the New York Jets. Maye is a stud and a more-than-solid replacement. However, it begs the question, should the Saints have kept Williams, who is nearly three years younger?

Maye is also coming off a torn Achilles, so there’s quite a lot of risk in this free agency pickup.

1. Christian Kirk

Jacksonville Jaguars NFL Training Camp

Undoubtedly, the most questionable move in the 2022 offseason was the Jacksonville Jaguars’ decision to give former Arizona Cardinals receiver Christian Kirk a four-year, $72 million contract.

Kirk was a solid target for Kyler Murray, but was some way off WR1 DeAndre Hopkins. That, however, didn’t stop the Jags from making him one of the highest paid receivers in the league.

Kirk has not topped 1,000 yards in his career, even with Hopkins missing time in 2021. Thus, this makes the Jaguars' decision the most questionable of the 2022 NFL offseason.
