Where does everyone rank Tyler Boyd amongst the available FAs. With Williams and Gallup scheduled to come in, would Boyd be equally as appealing?

Here they are side-by-side w/ 5-year averages:

Tyler Boyd                   6'2" 203 29 years old               72rec - 828yds - 4TD

Michael Gallup            6'1" 198  28 years old               47rec - 647yds - 4TD

Mike Williams              6'4" 218  29 years old              51 rec - 809yds -4TD

 

Williams is rumored at $12M per. I feel like Gallup and Boyd will be under $10M per. If these guys are not long-term answers, should Boyd be brought in for a look-see?

 

All three are completely different types of players.  Numbers don't necessarily tell the story

When you think the Browns can't shock you anymore.

 

Man, they did have a playoff game/win recently but the Browns are still firmly the Browns. The Watson trade cemented it and this is just icing on the cake. They still have some good players from all the early 1st round picks they built up but damn they are terribly run.

They have to be all in this year. Watson's cap hit is crazy for the rest of the contract. That team will be stripped after this year.

Feel like the Jets are just purposefully fugging with us at this point.  

Nope just a team who recognizes a bad team is interested in a quality FA. It's a easy pitch for them. 

 

We already spent our big money on guards. These guys aren't coming here if the money is similar to what the Jets are offering.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
