I would be disappointed if he got $7.3m a year with us. I don't think there's any way it is this high...

 

Should be more like $14m/3yr with incentives. 

Hope you are right--

Yeah, he's a good dude. Anyone that doesn't know his story should take a few minutes and go look him up.

I wouldn't pay much, but I worry Fitt might be handing out a fantastic deal. Please don't Fitt. We need that money for a #1 WR.

Josh downs 2nd rd pick

Not to be a Debbie Downer but there’s some truth. Dalton, Hurst and Thielin and even Jamal Williams don’t make us close to a scary offense. None of them can be the guy who can still do a lot when the D focuses on them. No matter which FA WRs we sign, there’s no one who can go against the #1 CB or be the doubled guy and perform well. DJ wasn’t elite but no FA is close to him.

Mahomes just won a SB with a bunch of mediocre WRs. Scheme and good QB can get a lot done.

We have the 2nd richest owner in football.

 

I think we will be fine watching him pay Nuk.

We are fans we don't pay the players bro. If you scared go to church!

Hell, I'd love to have him.  Don't that's exactly how the cap works though.

Yeah what are we paying? This is Wal-Mart shopping. Let's not go crazy. We still have to have a #1 WR. There are slot receivers in the draft where we pick in the second round unless we're going to trade up.

I figured this three year deal is because he'd be a good #2 and they wanted to backload some salary.  I think we grab another TE in the draft depending on what we do at WR today/tomorrow.

You might be right, no one of them can be but the D can't focus on all of them and they are serviceable, proven and a huge commodity for a QB, especially a rookie one

We could get a monster TE in the second round, a killer, but we've got to do something about #1 WR. Like 100% have to make a move in a trade or sign someone.

They put us in position to at least be solid, which is a major step up from previous years.

At the very least, it brings us to a good foundation from which we can build a potential big winner.

wouldn't hurt my feelings if we picked up another TE like Austin Hooper.

Did you type this during the 90 seconds you have to wait before the fries are ready?  Just kidding.  I have been able to work all week from home, so the NFL network is on in my home office and I am spending about 30 minutes on work every three hours.  This is so addictive.
