Little harsh with regard to Demoff, je. IMO, anyway.
Look, can we agree that Demoff/Pastoors merely try to sign the players that S&M request? Before that, S&F?
So signing the “right” or “wrong” players is entirely on Snead and the respective HC. NOT on Demoff.
Sometimes Demoff can’t get it done, such as the Jenkins case. But there is some question whether Jenkins would even seriously negotiate anyway because he wanted outta here so badly.
I’ll admit that the Tavon and Ogletree contract’s were head scratchers. But I place most of the blame on Fisher for the Tavon extension. On Ogletree extension? I’ve got no explanation, but I will say that Demoff was asked to do it by S&M.
When it comes to cap management, I don’t know of anyone that does it better than Demoff. This will become even more invaluable in the next few years as they deal with AD, Gurley, and Goff, among others.
Nobody is perfect, including Demoff. But I stand by my statement that I wouldn’t swap him for any other. Just look at the cap problems of the Seahawks, for example.
