Leader Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Ian Rapoport - Former Chargers WR Mike Williams is signing with the Jets on a 1-year deal worth up to $15M, another weapon for Aaron Rodgers. He’s on a visit there today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Yosh got himself a pretty decent contract. It's 2 years and can max out at 15 million. I'm happy for him. So, potentially Runyan and Nijman's contracts could count for comp picks. Am I missing anybody else? I know we signed two guys to bigger deals.

Hopefully we can trade one or two of our guys right as the new blood comes in. Anyone we decide to keep should either be a perfect fit or a great value. Amari was definitely a miss at 85, but even with him I understood what they were thinking. He was a great guy and had an interesting skill set but it's not always mind over matter in the NFL. Too slow or too slow to process will get you burned with the elite athletes that play in the pros. You're right, they are finding quality guys in the top 100 and I don't know if it's scouting, system, coaching- all of the above but we need to keep the WR factory running so we don't have to pay premium prices there.

I wouldn't call Montgomery in 2015 a hit either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a guy like Watson has a banner year we might really have to see if someone would be willing to give up a decent pick for him. It would be hard to let a guy go who is finally getting it together and peaking but no way we can keep everybody, or even half of those guys.

Mazrimiv Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Weirdly, I think the safest guys might be the TE's. Much harder to replace those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TE would be my priority to re-sign if things continue with the current groups' development. TE are cheaper and generally harder to find replacement. Musgrave and Kraft were also productive as rookies, but that is more rare compared to WR being productive as rookies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have Heath and DuBose also. WR's are good but think it is also a result of MLF's scheme. If a superior talent falls in our lap sure take him. Much rather use those resources at other positions tho. Deep WR class so we'll see. Maybe we take one if the right guy drops. Agree with it in principle as WR pay has gotten way out of hand. Just our cupboard is quite full at the moment. Still have 2 more seasons with Watson and Doubs. 3 more with Reed and Wicks. Timing just isn't right.

He'd have to ball out though. Think the NFL is getting crazy with these absurd WR contracts. Still can tender guys too. It will be interesting in a couple of years no doubt. Packers kinda broke the mold this year. Young WR's balling out on cheap contracts. 2 2nd rounders a 4th and a 5th rounder. Melton 6th rounder poached from a PS. Makes me think WR position is being overrated in the NFL. Scheme seems to negate their importance to a degree. Or I'm wrong and our guys are just that good.

He’s the shiniest toy with the huge upside but we want to see him do what he was brought in to do. We’ve shown that he’s a luxury and we can kill you with the army of ants rather than the big grasshopper so I think he’s tradable if the price is right. Only after he has a highlight reel season, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire12 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Between Watson and Doubs, Watson's skillset is harder to find so I'd be more inclined to keep him and trade Doubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
