Dallas94Ware Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Meh. Dont get so hyped until he makes the team. Guys he has to beat out or remain competitive with in camp just to be on the roster come week 1, let alone be activated for that game: Leonte Thompson Ryan Switzer Cole Beasley Gallup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPJ Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Which receivers do we think make the team and start? Hurns Williams Beasley Switzer Gallup Brown Austin Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingmonkey30 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I think I heard rumors floating around that they like him as a RB. Which makes this a better move. Missed out on those types in Hines, Ito Smith, etc. Austin could fit that mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse07 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Austin is gonna make the team as a RB not a WR. He isn’t competing with WRs on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBeast23 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I was never a fan of his. However this whole offseason with the WR depth I thought he would be a target. Didn’t think he would switch to RB though for us. Can’t hate his base salary. See what he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurns Williams Beasley Switzer Gallup Brown Austin Thompson Hurns Williams Beasley Switzer Gallup are likely locks. .. Austin makes this team over Brown and Thompson ONLY if two things happen: 1. He shows he can contribute as better return man than Switz. 2. He shows he can contribute as a passing down tailback, which might be hard given Zeke can do it all. Not a big need for a Dunbar when you have a Zeke. I honestly dont believe Austin makes the team unless Brown completely flops in camp or we dont carry 4 backfield guys (possibility) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromagnum Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Waste of a trade in my opinion. He is not a RB and is a terrible WR. He can contribute as a PR but thats about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His open field speed is something the team has not had in a while, and for a sixth round pick at a 1mill$ cap charge, well worth a looksie at how the team can use him. Even as a punt return man on every other punt return, taking the 3rd halfback slot on the roster, thats worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 He'll make the team. He'll likely be our starting return man on both punts and kicks. He'll maybe fill in as a 3rd down back since it appears the rookie ones we wanted are gone. Along with special plays designed to get him the ball in space similar to the Lucky Whitehead jet sweeps, but may even get screens as well since he is a better version of Lucky. All that along with his salary not even showing up on the radar ensure his spot imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one million good value but I gather they are going to use him more as a third down rb. He's fast but not sure this move is gonna work. I like switzer as a punt returner as well so not sure he even makes the roster which would make this trade a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I got zero problem here. Better value to the team then the QB we drafted. I actually am also on board with him being part of the backfield rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
