Allen Park — Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes hasn't had a ton of success in his first two trips through free agency, but his best move has unquestionably been the one he didn't make.

After weighing the franchise tag and a long-term contract for wide receiver Kenny Golladay, Holmes ultimately decided the price tag was too rich for a team entering a rebuild, letting the receiver walk to sign a four-year, $72 million pact with the New York Giants, which included $40 million in guarantees.

Less than two years later, it's in the conversation for worst contract in NFL history.
