I'm just saying, looking at this FA class, I don't see anything interesting.  He'll be as good as a bet as an overpaid injury prone Robinson.  

I'm not being a smart-ass, but I see several "interesting" receivers in this FA class, but he's one of the least as far as I'm concerned. But I agree with you that there will likely be better values than Robinson. 

This FA class has its injury histories,  that's for sure.  It has so many that teams may just overlook common fiscal sense and pay high prices anyway. Usually you'd think that injury histories would mute the market for a guy. I just hope we aren't one of the ones paying a premium.  

That being said,  Donte Moncrief is big,  fast and talented, as is the rawer Terrelle Pryor.  Marquise Lee has the ability to lead a team in receiving.  He has sneaky WR1 upside.  Really,  I think that they all do (as far as leading a team in receiving).  I'm less intrigued with Paul Richardson or John Brown, but they could come in and tear it up (provided they can stay on the field).  I really don't want either Brown though.

Quick clarification: John Brown is glass, Jaron Brown is totally formidable IMO.  I like Moncrief but even with Luck, he just didn't have that extra push.  I'd be down for him but he has a good deal to prove.

Terrelle is rawer, but he has more potential. I keep going back to his 1000 yard season. Moncrief has never had a 1000 receiving yards. Pryor did it with a pretty bad QB situation. He has the juice. In our offense all he has to do is be a vertical threat like Ginn. If he can be that he can have a major impact on our offense. Just something about his size and speed that has me intrigued especially with Cam's deep ball passing ability.

And the key thing with Pryor is he could come cheap. We have to jump on that.

It's not really that he's glass,  but that sickle cell trait doesn't seem to be a joke.

If you sign jaron brown, would need to sign another vet as well. He is a proven deep threat 

We have a small burner already with Byrd. Why sign a similar player?

Pryor is fast, but he also brings a different element because of his size.

Whether he has more potential is debatable,  but I wouldn't have a problem if we'd pick Pryor over Crief. I want both actually,  but that probably ain't happening.

Christian Kirk is Stephon Diggsesque. Get him...you see the crossings routes Diggs is running today. Nobody can keep up with him. Easy throw and catch....

Doubt we draft another WR considering we are already young at the position. Not really a #1 WR in this draft anyway. Maybe Ridley has that potential, other than that it is #2/#3 type WR's.

Oh I was just responding to another poster, Pryor is too big of a ? At WR, had a very poor year with Kirk cousins. Better options at WR, if Pryor is signed would also like to bring another vet in

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
