Hakeem Nicks: "I can see myself catching passes from Cam Newton" (among others)

the early contracts are the outliers. every year a couple teams overpay for players initially, but things settle down. a couple teams overspend for their own FAs and  couple more teams overpay for FAs right after they hit the market.

 

if the market doesn't settle down (which i feel it will), then we'll just take advantage of the cheaper talent in the draft class while other WR needy teams have used too much resources to warrant going after one in the draft.

 

it's a stacked market and it only plays to our favor. we'll get some "wiley vet" WR to come in and overperform their miniscule contract while we draft one or two  good WRs. 

 

despite what teams have done so far prior to FA opening up to keep their players, this will still be a buyers market. that doesn't mean cheap, but it does mean more affordable and better values.

 

I think with our cap the best option is to look at the draft. If we can't re-sign Ginn, I have little hope for anyone like Nicks.

could be, but i still think the market will work in our favor. maybe not for nicks, but for players like ginn who have some talent and would like a chance to prove themselves.

 

there will be talent available that we can afford.

Because trying to read Pantherman's posts is like trying to understand hieroglyphics.

 

what he wrote was perfectly understandable. what's not understandable is why you thought it necessary to derail a thread by calling him out. what needs to be understandable by you is that you don't need to be doing it again unless you want a vacation.

 

if you don't have anything substantive to add to a thread beyond complaining about what you perceive to be illiterate posting, stay out of it.

    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing. 
    • Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
