I would imagine they eat part of his salary and get the dead cap hit like we did for Moore. We don’t need him to be a speed demon, just a big body with a huge catch radius for our rookie which is exactly what he is. If one of our 4ths gets it done, you think it’s worth it?

I do want him and that 4th would force me even more...........just the PED deal. He can not help the team if suspended for the whole year. 

Our asst GM and current WR coach, should know 1000x more than what i do about hop.

 

Not long ago he was right there in the best WR talks. 

 

Is he still the same great WR without PEDs? That my main hang up...

I have been eyeballing him for about 2 weeks now. Spotrac estimates his salary around $9m, but they are off a lot--I think $5-7 gets him because the TE market in the draft is so deep.

Done. He's still young enough and could be in one of those situations where he just needs the burn in a system that understands his strengths/weaknesses. I think Brown can do that with his background with TEs.

Those Rams picks would have been gems.  Very possible one of the 1sts would have been a top 5. Also, us taking those 3 picks would have made them a weaker team in the future as they’d have another expensive player added. We had the opportunity to make a real fleecing. 

For the burns trade, hell yea, that team is rebuilding and the teams in its division are tough each week. 

Its crazy how things change soooo fast now-a-days. 

Finesserererer miss the boat.

I'm hoping the Boze $$ numbers thrown out are negotiations. They ask for $16M, we offer $11M....settle for $13.5-$14M. Done. 

Our cap opens up next year anyway. Gotta keep the OL intact and Elflien ain't it with a rookie QB and a rebuilding WR/TE corps. 

Man I love Bozeman, but he’s not worth that kind of money.  8M per year seems fair, which puts him at 11th in the nfl.

I mean he had over 700 yards and 3 TDs in 9 games last year. You could almost double that to get a full season’s worth. You aren’t going to get a flawless premium vet for cheap so he does have a risk with the PEDs.

I could be talk into it, zona paying part of his salary and the cost being around 4th rounder.....thats hard to turn down even with the PED/age cloud.

Plus given panthers traded 2 starting WR, there are two holes to fill.......unless TMJ or smith get on bhops PEDs....

What? 14 is insane. I feel like $9.5 is about the highest we should go.

Looks like Rams are a seller. I saw a suggestion by our old friend Jordan R for Panthers to ask about the Van Jefferson + Allen Robinson combo. I don’t know much about Jefferson, outside of his dad being our new WR coach. On paper I like the idea.

TY Hilton would make sense on a veteran minimum.  He may not be the player he once was, but he's intimately familiar with Reich's offense and could be a great 'coach on the field' type of player.  Even our current WR coach has to get acclimated to this scheme.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
