Will DJ Moore be back next year?

Joe Person said during his last Q&A that keeping Samuel over Moore is considered a legitimate option by the team.

The natural preference would be to keep both, but if they can't, who knows?

For that matter, who knows if Moore absolutely wants to stay? If he feels like he's not getting enough respect here, he might decide to look for greener pastures.

People need to realize Robby will be 29 when his deal expires next off-season that is in line with DJ's 5th year option as a first, or an extension in general. It's pretty fair to say the future is DJ and likely Curtis it makes way more sense, and adding a versatile option in the draft is likely an option, what we lack is a possession / red zone threat receiver, and though Robby is 6'3'' his game is still routes / speed. 

So to trade DJ would be silly, and sounds more like something out of a Madden league than a move relegated to real team management, DJ is much more talented than Funchess, you don't trade guys like that you keep them. Funchess has been an after thought since leaving here. 

To be fair I could see Curtis pricing himself out of a comfortable range, and his archetype 5'10'' and speed, there are usually a handful of guys with that kind of ability. Not to say I'd want to move on, just saying he'd probably be the easiest to replace as the slot receiver. 

I hope he gets paid, I hope Robby finishes, out his deal, 5th year for DJ then in 2021 draft we select a WR that will assume the 3rd spot once Robbie's deal expires or a 2022 prospect. as Robbie will play through the 2021 season solely based on his contract.

I'm gonna say yes, but if we have to trade up for a QB, he could be part of the package.

I think it would be a mistake to trade him though. He's our most talented WR and he's only 23.

Sure, let's trade up for a QB and at the same time, get rid of one of that QB's experienced weapons. 

What's with all the trading? Is it the influence of Madden or Fantasy Football that makes people approach it like trades are commonplace? We have a trade time and deadline every season, but for the most part nothing really happens there, and never to the extent you'd think by reading this forum board.

Yeah, my opinion is he has to be a priority to keep here.  He's still so young and has already flashed so much.  When you draft a guy like that and he actually becomes what you envisioned him to become, you have to keep him.. I love Robbie and Curtis too, but Robby is older than both of them and we invested draft picks in DJ and Curtis...  ideally, I'd like to keep them all here, but we'll see.

    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
    • I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
