there has to be a better then this

[jfra78]

It's not bad, he has something we dont currently have on this team.  He's not a true #1, but the way Young spreads it around, he may not need a true #1

Have you seen the FA market? It’s basically this or just don’t sign anyone. Pretty bare.

[Mistuh Jones]

To me this is why Tyler Warren makes much more sense as a George Kittle esque addition. There's just not a lot of quality in the FA class or the draft IMHO on a game changing WR

Wouldn’t hate it

Id rather burn a 4rth/5th on a speed dude coming out of college rather then sign him though. I guess it depends on what the deal actually is

 

tez johnson in the 4rth would be nice if he fell that far

With a year of hopeful growth from x, Coker and jt along with at, adding Slayton and maybe a mid round wr would imo be enough.

That we can afford? I doubt it. This would be throwing something against the wall type of move.

This would be great. The offense needs speed that can actually get on the field. A late-round dart throw rookie won’t earn snaps. Hopefully Slayton can come in on a cheap short deal and we draft a guy to develop behind him.

Exactly. The offense needs a specific type of receiver

Darius Slayton at his projected 3 year/$37.5M contract or no one? Absolutely give me no one then. Not even a difficult decision.

Sportrac's projection is even worse on a per year basis.

This is for a guy who basically put up Legette level numbers last year and half the fanbase is ready to write him off as a bust. LOL
