Wide Receiver Free Agency Class


AppHeel

Recommended Posts

It's no secret that Cam needs help on offense and I know a lot on this board will be clamoring for a high pick for a wideout with one of our earlier draft picks. Looking at the holes we have and the free agency classes at those positions, I'd argue that Wide Receiver might be best equipped for us to take care of before the draft which will allow us to use our first few picks on other positions of need. 

Here is a quick snapshot of some of the names that might be around in free agency:

Jarvis Landry* -- Won't be available

Allen Robinson

Terrelle Pryor

Sammy Watkins

Mike Wallace

Eric Decker

Marquise Lee

Taylor Gabriel

Kendall Wright

Danny Amendola

Jordan Matthews

Jaron Brown

Paul Richardson

Brian Quick

Dante Moncrief

Cody Latimer

De'Anthony Thomas

 

Only a couple of these could be considered a number one, but I spy several upgrades to guys currently on our team at the position. I think a lot of these guys could also be had for a bargain.

I know it sounds crazy, but I want Terrelle Pryor.  He didn't fit in Washington because of scheme, where they are precision timing routes.  Cams not that kind of QB and he's not that kind of receiver, put him with us and watch him flourish

I like the thought, but I'm over the WR projects.

Get this man a legitimate deep-threat WR.

A #1 wr will not fix this team.  It's FUBAR and only a clean slate will erase the ills of this team.  Unfortunately, we will have to wait until the end of the 2019 season to know what direction this team is headed.  Right now is on its way to the basement of the nfcs, if not the NFC all together.

I got my eye on Moncrief and Wallace. I don't think Richardson will ultimately leave the Seahawks, but perhaps. Terrelle Pryor didn't work out in D.C., but he's somewhat intriguing. 

Moncrief is my guy though. 

I would take Watkins, but not at the price he'll likely command.

Moncrief could probably be had at a reasonable price tag

Funchess can be a very good #2 WR.  Samuel and Byrd can be adequate 3rd/ 4th speed options, and Clay is an adequate PR who shouldn't be pressed into regular receiving duty.

Sheppard is worthless.  Bersin should be hired as a coach.

My vote is for Sammy Watkins or Terrell Pryor (who would probably come cheaper).  I think we should spend big on offense to keep Norwell and get WR and use draft currency on the defense.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
