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."

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
