It would help a) eliminate excuses for Darnold. He's got a core around him or b) set up Wilson nicely from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson and Leonard both have extensions coming up soon so maybe that played a big part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is interesting because Crowder has been the only positive to that Jets offense and if you bring in Juju then you either look to let Crowder go or have juju not play the slot in which that is where he is fitted best. So its either you let one go or you put one in a position that they arent the strongest in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowder is a good player, but relatively expendable. Davis/Mims/Juju is a trio that could do some good things with the right QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I think we heard a month ago that Crowder was likely a cap casualty soon. But yea, it's been quiet since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort4242 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Plus people have argued Crowder was more a product of Gase's system which absolutely funnels targets to the slot WR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can sign all of their guys to top of market deals and still have plenty of cap space next year based on projections. Obviously free agency isn't over but I would consider the Colts among the biggest losers early on. Not using your cap space is functionally identical to not having it and this offseason has been full of players at positions of need getting fair value contracts (aka not gross overpays) like William Jackson III (CB), Corey Davis (WR), and Carl Lawson (DE) to name a few. Ballard is a good to great GM no doubt but there are shades of Ted Thompson (arbitrary restrictions on team building) and a dash of Danny Ainge (obsession about getting value over adding talent).

I mostly agree technically FA is only a few days old but Colts passed on a lot of decent Edge rushers many of them having decent deals. WR options is still deep if you include FA and draft. I think at this point they’ll sign a FA LT and draft the best available Edge rusher with the 21th pick. With a couple of FA signings in between.

I like Crowder, but he's a slot. I am not a huge JuJu fan, but the upside is clearly higher, there's a chance he'll actually cost less than that on the cap this year, and he largely stays healthy, which has been a bit of a problem for Crowder at points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar12 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) If they sign Golladay I think we’ll see the Dominos start to fall with the WR market. Edited March 18, 2021 by Blackstar12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 He'll make more as a FA so a release is likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a much bigger and more physical group than when we would trot out Crowder and Berrios at the same time. All three are very good run blockers too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a good thing that two/three guys you mentioned were signed by Joe Douglas lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
