Yah I don’t think we’re in a position that allows us to spend the type of money he’s looking to get now on a WR3. 
 

We have an entire OL that needs to be built with the only good one being a UFA after this season. 
 

I hope Hurney and co. are discussing what exactly their plan is this offseason with their budget. If they know Samuel isn’t in the cards then they need to get something for him before Tuesday. Last night’s game was a good value booster. You don’t want to stunt this teams growth and Samuel helps move the chains but you also don’t want to be losing guys and getting nothing in return for them when building from essentially scratch like we are now.

Cost. 

We need a WR3.  Curtis Samuel hasn't done anything for a team to offer him a huge contract.  His stats are pretty on par with last season thus far.  I think people are just making knee jerk reactions off a few nice run plays.  No team in the NFL is going to overpay for a gimmick WR3.  He will be affordable.

I would only do it for a 3rd or better. Dollar Store Dave might be interested in getting a guy he drafted back. Rumors are he was trying to get Golladay from the Lions but they won a couple games the Lions were no longer interested in selling.

Trading young players in a rebuild seems pretty counterintuitive.  Why would he not be part of the future plans?  I doubt any team would give us any significant value for him either.

It’s just a cap space issue.  He’s young, yes, but it’s the last year of his rookie deal.  A rookie deal that was mostly squandered by buffoonery in the offensive coaching department.  I’d love to resign Samuel, but he’s been playing well this season and idk If what he’s demanding is something we can afford with all the holes on this roster. We have more needs than a good WR3.

He seems to have a good relationship with DJ and is being used better than he has been in the past, so I’m hoping he’ll stay, but all it takes is 1 team to make an big offer and he’s gone. I never underestimate the desperation of another team that just needs “one more player” to get them over the hump

He'll be another player we watch walk in free agency and get nothing in return for

Well if we do resign him and he does get a decent contract during FA then we get a comp pick back. So I would try to trade him, but if not, if hes worth anything and gets picked up in the offseason we will still get something for him.

You and I have different assumptions. The guy knows how to score. GMs pay heavily for players who can score.

As many needs as we have, you can't count on comp picks. We'll be signing FAs and those will eliminate comp picks

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
