Bargain Free Agent: WR Denarius Moore


gettlemanjack

Recommended Posts

"Moore provides a speed threat at receiver and a much-needed spark in the return game. At a fresh 26-years-old, Moore..provides good size (6-0, 200) and has untapped potential ... Moore has inconsistent hands at times but his speed and return ability make him an attractive buy-low option. Moore might be the definition of low-risk, high-reward.

Projected Contract: Two years, $3 million ($1 million guaranteed)"

Receiving Stats over last 5 yrs:

Tennessee (SEC)

age 22 (2010) - 981 yds, 9 TD - 20.9 yards/rec

Raiders

age 23 (2011) - 618 yds, 5 TD - 18.7 yards/rec (#3 in NFL)

age 24 (2012) - 741 yds, 7 TD - 14.5 yards/rec

age 25 (2013) - 695 yds, 5 TD - 15.1 yards/rec

age 26 (2014) - only started 2 games

2011 Combine: Moore ran a 4.43 forty with a 36 in vertical

2011 Tennessee Pro Day: Moore ran a 4.39 forty

this was written about him a year ago:

"Moore is unlikely to see even half the playing time he has over the past three seasons. ... Given his production and speed, he would make a nice trade target for a receiver needy team. Someone like the Carolina Panthers, who have nothing but a raw rookie, aging slot receivers, and untested practice options squad to throw to, Moore is a perfect option.

...

(Raiders GM) Reggie McKenzie will likely seek a 6th round pick, since Moore is young, has proven talent, and has good starting experience. It may seem silly to send off a starting receiver, but the Raiders would be wasting his talents and letting him waste the final year of his rookie contract on the bench ... While keeping a starting caliber receiver around as a depth piece may seem like a smart move, its best to let him move on to..gain some compensation in return."

Saints blog that wants the Saints to sign Denarius:

"[with Colston due $9.7 million for next season and Robert Meachem turning 31], I like the team to search for a wide receiver in free agency, but not a high caliber player [like Jeremy Maclin]. A guy like Denarius Moore, who has largely fell victim to his own environment (Oakland), could be a good fit for the Saints offense."

    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
