Yep he's their number 4 WR. 

If Tampa wanted him they could've easily have retained him instead they went out and actually upgraded by getting DJax. While we take a teams 4th WR and make him our 3rd or even possibly our 2nd

I'm worried the front office got complacent with this signing. I don't understand why they haven't gone after Kendall Wright.

The fact that this signing is coming on day 1 tells me this was "their guy" and that's scary. 

So they allow Ginn to go and target Sheppard... I mean I'm not a huge Ginn fan but c'mon

Can't afford it. Lol

 

They have about 18m in space, 7.5m of that is for Rookies. They'll want to keep 2-3m of it open for the season in case of injuries. Leaving about 8m in space and the team wanting to sign another DE, a SS or nickel and a WR.

Zod needs a tampon section for post like this.

Don't understand why people are saying he is replacing Ginn necessarily, I would say that it could be a mixture of both Ginn and Brown but only occupies one roster spot. I say he has more upside than Brown and he can take over Ginn's pedestrian effort at PR

I highly doubt Wright will cost a lot.  And we can always backload his contract.

 

the SS free agent class is dead and  gone

"Shepard was pressed into action far more as a receiver last season than previous seasons due to injuries suffered by Vincent Jackson, Louis Murphy, Cecil Shortsand Adam Humphries. Shepard caught 23 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns in 2016. He also had a key fumble recovery in the Bucs' Week 5 win over the Carolina Panthers, knocking the ball loose from punt returner Ted Ginn Jr."

Gettleman is cold-blooded...

 

Can't remember him... But I remember that fumble.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
