Benjamin....what will DG do?

[Jmac]

Word is that DG was going to pick up the five year option on him. That was before he rolled in overweight. The option is coming due on Wednesday and no signing so far. Possible that they let it slide by to send a message that this is bullshat. Either get with the program, play up yo potential.....or see ya. What you got?

I think its a non issue and will be resolved before training camp.

@Jeremy Igo

Guys the 2 WR/RB we drafted can't play outside on a consistent basis (ask Randal Cobb) they where drafted as complimentary pieces.

KB is vital part of the offense , the player that should be getting the message is Devin Funchess.

I dont think its a non issue, it shows a pattern of laziness. this is KB job and he is clearly not taking it seriously enough and thats not the kinda thing that goes unnoticed.

[PandaPancake]

I know another receiver that used to show up overweight to training camp. I don't remember any outrage then.

That's worse, at least Kelvin isn't injury prone. 

But in reality its a non issue, takes a full year to get back from an injury and he still was shy of 1000 yards.

This would be a non-issue if Kelvin didn't have a history of showing up way heavier than he needs to be and starts having conditioning problems. He needs a nutritionist or something to help guide him.

What kind of weight is he putting on?  If it is muscle, that will be hard to get rid of.  Yet if it is simply fat, there's no excuse, its a mentality problem.  Again if it is fat which we assume comes from the kind of food one eats, you're going to have to want to change your diet.  My mentality on such an issue would be easy, especially if I had the money KB has.  Eat organic (something we all should do more of) and cut out fast food.  Maybe only eat fast food once a week if necessary.

All of this comes down to mindset.  Personally, again if this is a weight problem dealing with food, if I had the resources available to me as it is available to KB, this wouldn't be a problem at all.  For most NFL players it's not a problem.  I'm not bashing him in any way.  It's just a mindset concerning these things.

If you watched the post-draft presser, DG did not seem happy at all.  Person asked Rivera about it, and he entertained him by answering it at length.  He said it was overblown.  Yes, he was concerned about his weight, but he has been coming in voluntarily.  Person then asked DG about it, who wasn't having it lol.  He gave Person a death stare and said, "Stick to the draft, Joe."

[MountaineerChemist10]

One word: REEELLLLAAAXXXXX. So he's a little overweight, big deal. Did the same back in Summer '15. Then showed up at training camp in top shape and fired up. Tore his ACL in camp but $hit happens. We shall see what happens over the Summer. Great wake up call for Benji and Funchess.

[SetfreexX]

Man the Benjamin hate here is real...

The man put up just shy of 1,000 yards, on an offense that had a 1,000+ yard TE a YEAR after an ACL tear!!

What more could you ask for basically everyone's numbers were down across the offense...''why'' because our OL fell completely apart. You can't judge a QB/HB/WR/TE performance so harshly when the position group that creates the majority of that success is in shambles. 

I for one am excited, the 2nd year after the ACL is usually when a player is finally all the way back, Funchess will get more reps, and we have guys underneath now in McCaffrey & Samuel that will limit how deep the underneat coverage can drop to help on the deep/intermediate targets to guys like KB, Funch, and Olsen. Not to mention all the above and a healthy OL should present some lighter boxes for Stewart.
