why?

former 2nd round pick with good physical tools..he was worth a shot..

Because 85% of the time, when a player is let go by a team...they're not that good. Yet time and time again, when we pick someone up like that, there's a handful of people that mark out thinking we just stole something grand. It rarely pans out. He was crap for the Skins, so I don't know why people thought he'd be awesome here.

Because the main reason he was cut from the skins had nothing to do with his play on the field.

Exactly.

I don't think anyone thought he'd be a Pro Bowl player for us. What we did know is that he was relegated to special teams duty and that Shanahan had issues with his off-the-field pursuits (like modeling). So sorry if we had just a bit of hope that he'd be a decent receiver for us.

If we're judging receivers by this season alone, I don't think there's a receiver on our roster that would deserve to be here next year. That includes Steve Smith. But continue to judge him as if he came in here with plenty of experience, a great quarterback, and a wonderful offensive line. I mean, who wouldn't look good with the Brian St. Pierre throwing to him?

Actually, if you read extremeskins like I did concerning the kid, about 75% of the members there said they were glad he got cut...because he sucked. If you think the only reason he was cut was because he fell asleep in a meeting, well, the media has a nice tight grasp on you.

      Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now

      Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.

      II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
