NO other needs to spend money on not some old WR getting the vetren minimum who couldn't even stay on with the Chiefs. I think Smith Moose and Moore with Jarrett as the 4th is just fine for a WR core. Plus we'll have goodson active on game days who can also line up in the slot.

Ordinarily I would say yes. He is an upgrade over Moore and Jarret, and there is no arguing that fact. He still have enough left in the tank to serve as an excellent stop-gap at WR for a championship run.

BUT, as it has already been stated, we have a finite amount of cap space to work with. DT should be our primary concern. And before we worry about shoring up our offense for a deep playoff run, we need to make it past week one. And to do that, we need to stop the run.

Pass, but he will be employed somewhere by week 1.

    • The word elite was in none of my posts. And it doesn’t matter, he’s a top five guy this season and this is the season to extend him. That’s how it works. We were lucky to get him for just the ninth highest contract and not top one or two. He’s a steal for what we paid. Could he start slacking off and it turn into a bad contract? Sure, but none of the evidence of his work ethic would suggest that. 
    • Previous bad contracts don't make a bad one now acceptable. And there is nothing wrong with a committee, but we traded up in the 2nd round to take the widely regarded #1 RB in the draft class.  You don't do that with the intent of him being a backup for his entire rookie contract, and you don't sign someone to be the 9th highest paid RB in the league to be the backup either. If we were a contending team and we could afford it, it would be different, such as with the Lions and their RB room right now. But we're not, we have SOOOOO many holes, that spending $10 million on an RB when you have someone who should be a 3 down workhouse on a cheap 2nd round rookie contract, is just a completely irresponsible use of the cap room. How can anyone be okay with spending that $10 million there as opposed to a starting DE, CB, or LB? Or if we go QB in the draft next year like so many want, that $10 million could be used towards a WR as even with Legette and what people want Coker to be, that WR room next year is looking like one of the worst in the league right now. Contracts can never be looked at in a vacuum, when you take everything into consideration, it's a terrible signing unless they already know Brooks isn't going to be THAT guy, and if that's the case, then it was a terrible draft pick. Again, one of the two decisions is terrible, we just may not know which one it is yet, but time will let us know.
