General Managers in the NFL have one of the hardest if not the hardest jobs in the NFL. They have to do a number of things like, sign players, draft players, scout players, and sign coaches. The second they mess up they get fired. So there job is extremely stressful and it is important for a GM to make the right moves. For example, figuring out if a player fits the scheme that there team runs and is worth signing/drafting.
An example of a general manager making the right move is John Schneider, general manager for the Seattle Seahawks. Schneider is well know for drafting players late in rounds. For example Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Russell Wilson, and KJ Wright. All have been drafted in the third round or later and all have had enormous amounts of success in the league since being drafted. Also signing Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse as undrafted free agents, both becoming NFL stars.
However, not all general managers have succeed like Schneider. For example, Mike Tannenbaum, general manager for the Miami Dolphins. He has tried to trade for good players but has failed in all the ways possible. For instance, trading for Bryon Maxwell and Kiko Alonso. Both players have performed poorly and both have enormous contracts. Also Tannenbaum has overpaid players like Ndamukong Suh whose making over $114 million on a 6-year deal. To put it in perceptive, Suh is making more money than Aaron Rodgers.
