WR & DE: Juju & DréMont?

[top dawg]

Apparently PFF is predicting that Juju Smith-Schuster and DréMont Jones to become Panthers during free agency (courtesy of Panthers Wire).

I don't know exactly why they predicted Juju to land here (as I don't have a PFF account and there was really nothing stated about that in Anthony Rizzuti's article), but I like the idea. He's still in his prime and doesn't leave a lot of balls on the field with that 4 percent drop rate over his career. He's a good target (pun intended). 

Now Jones, on the other hand, has ties to EJ and has played in his system as a 3-4 DE, so quite naturally the probability of him landing here is a little higher.

"Jones was a high-caliber pass rusher as a 3-4 defensive end during his tenure in 4, with his 45 quarterback pressures and 25 defensive stops this past season under Evero both career highs.”

Both players are definitely food for thought. I don't know what it would mean for the development of our current players, but (you heard it here first), "Best man up trumps next man up." Competition is what we need!

Just more food for thought.

DreMont Jones? Absolutely!

I’d pass on JuJu.

Passing on JuJu especially after how he acted after the superbowl

Both of these players are attractive targets though I have no idea how realistic getting them might be.

However, it is hard to imagine Tepper bringing in such an esteemed group of coaches without there being a significant turnover in the roster.  Interesting times indeed!

Im waiting on Ebron signing

JuJu is an idiot.  No thanks.

Tried clowning James Bradberry after he admitted that he held JuJu, the entire league basically poo on him in his comments for it and basically said he didnt do poo all season and got carried to the ring.

That was both very funny and very tacky, especially from a guy who has significantly underperformed his draft promise.

It was pretty funny with the valentines and all, to be honest. I wouldn’t have done it or been proud of my son if he did, but I laughed.

Hard pass on JuJu

There's better WR options available.

But DréMont would be a great addition, especially opposite Burns.

I'd also like to see us go for Lavonte David and Alex Singleton to help out at LB and Greg Gaines or Sheldon Rankin to help out at NT.

Bad JuJu?
