Anybody realize that AE is a FA after this season?

All the WR who may be getting playing time this year are FA next year. I think that's what DG wanted.

 

But Serious question

 

How much can Lafell, AE, Gettis or any of them not name Smitty really ask for and get in the open Market???

 

 

It's not like any of them have a history of consistent production on their resume.

We have had AE for 2 years and all we have out of him is a serviceable preseason game. Let's start talking contracts after week 6. Happy to pay him if he is really coming around. As koolkatluke says, what is AE going to demand in the open market with his resume thus far?

Some might get less then what they got on their rookie contract.

 

 

AE was a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick. He might not see the money he got on his 1st deal.

It's not like Hurney is still here. LoLOL

AE has 5 catches in his career let's give him Harvin Money.

Dear god, I don't even want to fathom that.

Honestly AE is my last concern. We can't let Lafell walk, I just hope Gettleman doesn't go too cheap at him.

Outside of App St homers, absolutely nobody would pay AE more than a bag of stale potato chips to play in the NFL. His "breakout season" is gonna be no more than 20rec 200yd 2td. He will be a 26yo, 5'11 180lb, 4-year vet WR who has averaged 1/2 reception per game. He won't generate any interest outside of Carolina. He will either be resigned on a 1-yr vet minumum deal and fight for a roster spot, or just given a plane ticket to Canada and the CFL.

I'm a Lafell fan but his resume says he should get paid like a 3rd WR. I wouldn't pay to much for any of these guys until they can prove more. Maybe 1 year deals for everybody.

maybe he should do something before people worry about that. 

 

5 career catches and 2 catches in preseason. 

 

 

Still, yeah. WR outside of Smith, and DB likely to make the roster outside of Godfrey and Norman, are all free agents.  I don't think that's accidental.  Some guys will prove valuable and might stay.  But even then, it's partially hedging bets on whether Rivera, and therefore schemes we're running, are even there.

we have said this very thing hence some of us wanting a WR early in the draft. how much is any of these guys production this year can be contributed to them being in a contract year? also, are you willing to pay Lafell money like Mike Williams or Brain Hartline?

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
