If we sign a FA WR


Panthro

Recommended Posts

They should at least activate him and bring him in during garbage time if we're ahead, or when we're being blown out. Like Jimmy, nothing beats in-game experience. Armanti learns next to nothing watching from a bench. We're 0-4, we will not be going to the Playoffs, bring the kid in during the 4th when the game is already won or lost. This week? No. I think the Bears game is going down to the wire. Our best option is to sign a FA as our #3. A guy with playing experience.

We have 2 Wide Receivers out. If we don't activate him and he sees the field then he was a garbage selection and the FO now believes it too.

Name a WR we have selected under Fox that panned out?

I don't think anyone expected two have our only two veteran receivers go down in the same week. So now AE is going to be thrust into a position where he has to contribute.

The pick was a reach with a projection for future production. You know this just as much as anyone else so don't act like you don't.

I hope he can produce and I believe he will. But time will tell and as they say hindsight is 20/20. You never know how things are going to pan out with injuries and retarded drunk WR's.

truthfully i was hoping for gilyard. edwards only as a 5th rounder...4th at the earliest.

fox isn't a WR guy. sees the passing game as only something to help out the run game that is supposed to be the focus. i don't trust his ability to pick a WR.

    • So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...
    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
