I see us making a splash with a WR

I know many on this site see Gettis, LaFell or Smith being adaquate but I see us going after someone with polished route running skills that has that ability to get open.I think Smith if he stays will move to the slot.

adequate is not a word I want used for #1 receiver. I don't see how we don't try to make a move once a CBA is reached.

Rice would be great. I'd be ecstatic to see Santonio Holmes signed. (based on if the coaching staff thinks he's done getting kicked off planes and such)

I dont see the jets letting Holms go nor do I see the Vikings letting Rice go.We may have a shot at either V Jackson or M Floyd.I also like James Jones and B Edwards may be availible but I am not as sold on him as I am James jones

There is no way we cut Armanti after one year, no way we don't give the dude from a Hawaii a shot, Gettis, LaFell are locks....that's already 4, if we keep Smith that's 5- and you expect us to sign a big name?

I'm all for going after Zach Miller, and would be happy if we were able to get a guy- but I can't see us overpaying for a James Jones

We are either going balls to the wall and trade Smitty and go after V-Jax or Rice

or are going to try and persuade Smith for one last year and stick with developing our young guys

knowing the panthers I am saying option number two is 98 percent more likely

With the exception of Rice and Holmes, that is a whole mess of mediocre receivers who will soon be overpaid.

Braylon Edwards

Steve Smith (NYG)

Malcom Floyd

Lance Moore

James Jones

Mike Sims-Walker

Santana Moss

Steve Breaston

non of these guys are really average. all of them are capable of putting up some great numbers and most of them have proven it.

santana moss is a bit older than i would like, but still he's got a couple years left and he had a great year last year.

braylon edwards has been improving his play every year and drops aren't a problem for him anymore. put him back with the OC that he had his break out year and you will likely see more of them.

malcom floyd has a lot of talent and is a big receiver very familiar with chud and his offense.

lance moore and steve smith are both very good slot receivers.

james jones is a star in the waiting

mike sims walker has a ton of talent, although he's got a bit of an attitude.

i'd rather have rice or holmes than any of these guys, but any one of them would be a huge upgrade...esp. if smith gets traded. if he does, i can see us going after two of these guys. seriously.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
