We should be exploring all options. I've seen enough of trying to get cute, and hit big on marginal players with potential but nothing else. We need proven talent. Guys like Johnson, Shepard, Underwood, etc are not what we need. We have HOF level talent in our core right now. Get a legit playmaker.

You don't make this change and invest in a guy like Norv Turner (I'm sure he wasn't cheap) without getting the guys he needs to run his offense. We already have some key elements in place but a field stretching receiver like Wallace is an obvious need. Curtis Samuel flashed some promise and has elite speed, but it's too early to tell what he's capable of or bet our ability to execute a vertical offense on him.

Funchess / Wallace/ Samuel / Byrd / Draft / Draft <<< I would be happy with that. A receiver in the middle rounds, and a flier on one late to be the 6th receiver.

Funchess isn't a number one. We will make a mistake if we expect him to be

If we could somehow get Landry and Wallace, we’d be set. Landry will get overpaid by some team this year tho. 

You must not heard the Landry is looking to break the bank?

Even his agent said he is not taking a discount to stay in Miami. Landry will get 14 mil a year. Not even a player on our radar imo.

Tbh I don’t think this offense needs a WR1.

We need diverse playmakers. We need a proven veteran who will make plays beside Funchess and Samuel. I’m all for someone who’s moderately priced but has a proven record.

We need speed and reliable hands. That combination is never cheap

I'm tired of people talking about not spending too much after we backed up a brinks truck to Matt Kalil and let Ginn walk to NO for peanuts.

Get some proven talent. If we piss away Cam and Luke's prime nobody is going to be worried about the money. Open the wallet now and make a run.

I wouldn't mind him but I like Donte Moncrief better. With a healthy Qb, Donte catches 60-62% of passes thrown to him compared to 58% with Mike Wallace. In comparison, Antonio Brown catches 68% passes thrown his way, Julio Jones catches 64-67% passes thrown his way when healthy.

 

Of course, it depends on the routes they have you run too. Ted Ginn caught 75.7% of passes thrown his way this season, a career high.

Yeah he will go to another trash team for a huge pay day.

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
