Panther's sign Chris Hogan WR

[JARROD]

Hogan is a day 1 starter. We would have 4 we can swap out with each other for different looks. I expect Moore Samuel Wright and Hogan to be swapped out a lot.

Torrey is a goner,.. he will probably be number 5 unless someone gets hurt. It’s up to him if he wants to hang around for insurance or get released. 

At his age, I might would get released and go to a team that needs a 3rd or 4td receiver and get on the field. That’s the only way to prove his way back to more. Sitting out as inactivated number 5 every week is a waste.

Drafting a WR doesn't seem like a day 3 need anymore, so team can let the board come to them.  Needed someone to replicated the skills that left the WR corp when Funchess left.  Hogan is now the "possession" receiver who runs good routes and can help in the red zone.  He also can be used as a vertical threat.  He gets more separation than Funchess but is worse in contested catch situations.  A lot cheaper though which is key. Contract details will be key.

What  bothers  me?   Brady can make me look  like an NFL WR---he made Lafell  better--(Nearly had 1000 yards first year in NE).

Moore / Samuel / Wright / Smith / Hogan / Ross 

IMO this allows us to have a lot of flexibility, however I think we still see a WR picked up in the latter rounds, Hogan makes up for Torrey's veteran presence in the event we move on from him and the available cap space he represents. 

Ross, is 28/29 if memory serves and isn't anymore a long term answer than a day three pick. But a pick with more upside could still replace him if a guy we like is there. 

As it stands right now we have four locks - Moore / Samuel / Wright / Hogan -- Smith and Ross could both or see one of themselves replaced by a draft pick. 

Fir today though if we carried this six into the regular season we'd have a pretty solid rotation / depth.

Ya'll joking, but Hogan might be the best WR on the team right now. Moore and Samuel have a higher ceiling, in my opinion. But right now, this guy could be the #1.

You ain't kidding. ( 4th, 5th option, nothing to see here) my arse. Brady throws all over the field+ Gronk. Those are solid numbers up there. He'd have much bigger numbers if he wasn't in that wide open offense. Swear some of these huddlers think our receiving corps matches up with the Falcons. Yes we have potential but come on. Reality people.

Yes, we  are "a bunch of stupid".  We look  to  you for guidance and intellect because we had no idea  that we  needed another receiver.  Can you tell us  about this year's  corn  harvest?  Will it be bountiful?

Solid perimeter piece. Could be a great complement to Moore outside. T-1 with D-Jax in 2016 for YPC. He’s dynamic as hell, and I think he’ll get a steadier diet of reps in this situation.

Not a need,  but it could be  an option.  Returner/WR?  The farther Smith drops on  the depth chart, the more glaring his salary becomes.

Lol. Not to mention the argument was draft capital, not picking up a cheap free agent probably to save money over a more expensive one.

hope it works out.  But I don't really have lots of faith in NE WRs. 

Generally NE WRs look and perform their best in NE.   

But he probably is a good add regardless.  We have some really talented WRs.  He is going to bring a lot to the locker room and practice.  That often gets overlooked.

They have to get the $$ somewhere.  This was  my  first  thought  too.

Can we get rid of smith and use money to sign Allen Bailey please!!!!

[imminent rogaine]

Hope we didn’t pay much. He is JAG,- little better than Torrey but I wouldn’t play him over Wright. From what I recall, routes are okay, hands are sub-par, ball skills are atrocious. Damn, sounds like a Funchess write-up.

Doesn’t hurt to sign him as a #4 as long as we didn’t pay big money- which I doubt we did at this point. I certainly like it better than Torrey getting $5 mil or Funchess getting $10.
