Smitty not going anywhere *Confirmed*

Some really promising young players are going to be cut, especially if we bring in another wide receiver. I'm not saying we shouldn't mind you, just that running backs and wide receivers are really going to be fighting for roster spots.

How many receivers do we carry?

Smith - FA - LaFell - Gettis - Edwards?

Perhaps Pilares is put on the practice squad. That leaves guys like Trent Guy, Charly Martin and Darvin Adams out of luck.

Yea, but Guy, Martin and Adams are out of luck because they're just not that good. This is probably gonna be a make or break year for Armanti and Smitty, Gettis, Lafell, Pilares are just about guaranteed spots. That leaves room for MAYBE a FA (but WR is way down our list of needs with Smitty returning) or one of those three. Or they could just roll with 5.

I do not think that will happen. I'm betting the FO is going with the guys they have

I think you're right.

LaFell and Gettis showed a ton of promise last year with poor quarterback play and worse playcalling. Let's see what these young guys can do with a new offense and quarterback (assuming Cam starts at some point this year -- and I think he will).

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
