His Cap hit is 30, his salary is 19.5, which means he'd only be 19.5 towards our cap as the 30 includes the portion of his signing bonus.

Sign him to a 1-2 year extension at the same time and we can lower that cap hit by a decent amount and structure it in a way that it really doesn't hurt us in the future much either.

He needs to stay far away from PEDs too

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.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
