As our WR3 with TEs/FBs playing 140% of snaps (meaning 2 TEs or TE/FB 40% of the time), he had 48% of the snaps. He basically played half the year and still did nothing. He missed 3 games, but like this preseason game he played way too much to have 17 catches in 13 games or 0 catches against Buffalo.

He’s been injured but when he’s been out there he’s also been ineffective. This trade probably makes him inactive most weeks.

I'm not advocate for the guy. He's definitely been a non factor for us so I couldn't care less if they cut his ass. The only reason he's here is because of Joe Brady anyway.

Rashard Higgins will be 28 in October and on a one-year deal. 

Zylstra and Saunders are meh. Great in August....JAGs the rest of the year and not enough to pass up on a 23-yr old WR that has actually produced in the NFL.

TMJ should be held onto to see if he can A.) stay healthy B.) step up when competition comes in to take his lunch money.

I think this makes sense in a Cordarelle kinda way. Kick the tires for peanuts and see if you can push TMJ to be better, or maybe you find a youngster that can be your WR4/gadget play weapon. His contract is insanely team-friendly.

    • I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.
    • If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving. 
    • Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
