Early pulse check: Curtis won't take a hometown discount, what do we do?

Let's say we've already gotten the Moton situation under control in this hypothetical. Knowing that D.J. Will want to get paid the next season as well as 2021 being Robby's contract year, how should we handle Curtis?

I think that he will be gone unfortunately.

the good news is that Brady has done a lot to develop our receivers and can probably mold another player with similar measurables.

 

I agree, but it is worrying because Curt is a 4 year pro. A lot of what he's done is little savy veteran stuff. Not sure a rook can come in and replace him.

This is why I was on the Ja'Mar Chase train when we were at 3.

Robby Anderson is a one trick pony.  Samuel is a Swiss army knife.  The question shouldn't be if we pay Samuel, it should be do we pay Anderson in when he hits FA.  The simple answer is no, make that determination now and earmark his money towards Samuel this offseason.

Love Samuel and I feel vindicated that he turned out to be a good pro when we got an OC worth a damn, but he's gone. We'll probably draft someone like Chris Olave (if he declares) or Anthony Schwartz in the middle rounds to replace.

zero reason to keep him unless we can trade Robby without a hit (I don't know) and sign Curtis to less money than Robby was due.

CMC will be back, we can always take a WR in the 2nd or 3rd round, and we have much bigger needs like OL, LB, and DB to use that money towards.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
