Whenever a talented player is acquired for a low price that seems too good to be true, there’s always a question: what’s the catch?
In these situations, it usually doesn’t take long for a player’s former team to leak unflattering commentary about them to the media. We saw this with Eagles’ trade for Jay Ajayi during the 2017 season.
