Meyers will be expensive. I told you earlier he's the best WR in FA so he will be looking to be the highest paid of all the WR's.

 

Juju is a tik tok fanboy. He needs to be with a QB that will keep him in check. Not sure he is what we need for a rookie QB.

No one signed any WRs yet. That has to be lowering their price tag right?

Thanks to all the posting

Maybe teams are not willing to repeat what the jags did. I could be eating those words tomorrow.........

What's that?

Go out and sign someone who would end the season 14th in the league in yards and score 8 TDs?

Yea, that's a terrible idea.

(yes, I get what you're saying is to do what everyone felt was a massive overpay for a player given their history, but clearly it wasn't a bad signing in the end and he should only improve in another season with Trevor)

I would watch out for the Bills they just created 32 mil and need another WR. Possibly trading for Hopkins or going after OBJ/Meyers in FA.

Can't see the Bills wanting someone like Hopkins unless they also get rid of Diggs.

Diggs is amazing, but he is a bit of a diva at times and needs a lot of passes thrown his way.  They're not going out there and getting someone like Hopkins who also would demand a lot of targets and risk having more games of Diggs pouting like his did late last year.

I think they'd be more looking at someone like a Thielen, solid possession WR from the slot who will settle in just fine getting 4-6 targets a game and be a nice safety valve for Allen for when he can't push it downfield to Diggs.

What about him?

He signed a 3 year, $24 million deal and went out and put up 82 catches (21st), 823 yards (35th), and 5 TDs (34th).

Nothing wrong with that for $8 million a year at all.

And again, this was in their first year with Trevor and a new coaching staff, that offense is on the rise.  They also added Evan Engram last offseason too, I think they killed it for getting Lawrence weapons last year.

You can say they overpaid for both of them given what people expected their market value to be.  But they clearly saw something in both of them and paid them where they thought they'd perform, and they did the job.

Yeah I was just throwing out names.

 

Could also be for a RB as well. Derrick Henry makes sense. Imagine defending Allen and Henry in the same backfield. Sheesh!

 

They have a lot of options that's a good chunk of space to make some key moves.

Isn’t Ekler wanting a trade? Also I think Buffalo was above the cap before they made those moves.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By KSpan · Posted

      Gonna have to strongly disagree with you here. Here are the last 20 Super Bowls - only two of them IMO had QB that didn't play like Superman to get them there/win the game/both, and that was Peyton in 2015 and Ben in 2005. Even then they both had that ability, Peyton was just old and Ben young. That said, there were flashes in the pan like Foles in 2017 and (to a lesser degree) Flacco in 2012. But even counting that, it's 4/20. 20% odds aren't good enough and Bryce was absolutely drafted at #1 to be a guy that elevates an entire team and plays like Superman. If he can't do that then it's a failed pick, full stop. Being a poor man's Teddy doesn't cut it for a #1 overall and that's true for any team, not just Carolina.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By rayzor · Posted

      the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense.

      Pete Carroll on Canales (New Fox Sports Article)

      By Navy_football · Posted

      The Panthers aren't building a Bryce Young roster. Alabama didn't recruit personnel to fit a Bryce Young scheme. Canales' approach is to build an NFL roster (which they didn't have last season) and then cater his scheme and playcalling to what the players do best. The team is not pigeon holing itself into an offense that doesn't fit any other QB. Their goal this off-season was to provide NFL average or better talent to the offense - period. Very little to do with matching personnel for  Bryce Young's skillset or lack thereof.
