AbsoFINGlutely.  We have two burners on the roster already.  Should've just signed legit BAMF Allen Robinson and been set at WR for the next forever...

 

but this is why we can't have nice things.

He is a deep threat...

I really think we try to get a friendlier deal done over the next few days. Probably two years 7.5-8 million with four guaranteed at signing. And if it doesn't get done we cut him. And it doesn't matter about Worley because he was probably gone anyway. 

There's a chance that neither of these guys is on the Eagles or Panthers to start the season. But I hope we get a deal done by next week. 

IF they keep him, this is the only real option available.  Lower his cap hit and cut him when he proves that he still sucks.

Where did I ever say that T Smith wasn't a deep threat?  That's the ONLY thing he's ever done.  We need a legit #1, not another #3.  This is the proverbial "kicking the can down the road" move that we are so well known for.

People bitching but forget we don't have Shula anymore. Cam went to the SB with a WR worse than Smith and a OC who loves to doodle. We now have a good deep threat and a legendary OC.

Torrey is under contract for 5 million in 2018 and 5 million in 2019.  Don't know how much is guaranteed. 

Zip zilch nada is guaranteed.  Can be cut with no dead money implications and full cap recovery.

That puts a tiny bit of sugar on the sour lemon, I guess.

It is a nice thing...a deep threat is what we need...this just means we have more flexibility in the draft if we go with a WR...we arent done yet so we cant say kicking the can down the rd just yet...Norv Turner

Wrong.

Torrey isn't an upgrade to Ginn and we don't have anyone who can catch like JCo could.  That team also had a great secondary.

 

Comparing this team to our SB team is sad at best and idiotic at worst.

Quick question on that front...

Which team won the Super Bowl last year?

(I've forgotten)

Who cares who won the superbowl? The Saints couldve easily won the superbowl if not for the miracle, the panthers couldve won the superbowl if not for so many errors against the saints, the jags couldve won the superbowl if their coach didn't play conservative at the half, a lot of teams were one play away from winning the superbowl, Getting to the superbowl takes a mixture of skill and luck, the eagles had the skill but more importantly they had fortune (and coaching) on their side, too. I wouldn't be calling them geniuses and weighing what they did so heavily and importantly like everyone on this board is doing and trying to copy their "super secret special formula" for winning and putting a team together, their formula was luck and coaching. While they were clearly the best team last year in an anomaly of a year where no team really stood out or was tremendously consistent, they weren't really that much better than any of the other teams in the mix (Steelers, Patriots, Jaguars, Panthers, Saints [Vikings; who couldve just been a bad matchup or had a bad any given sunday game so i'll "not include" them])

Or run him deep 5 times a game...

I thought you wanted a veteran wide out. Maybe I was wrong.

The team wanted a veteran wideout. I was ambivalent.

You don't think it's sort of necessary with Norv's system though?

[Car123]

We can cut him anytime. Good trade. I hope we’re not done looking for a WR

[tiger7_88]

So pick one:

- Almost $10M for Graham Gano and Torrey Smith

- Almost $10M for drafted rookie kicker and Sammy Watkins/Allen Robinson
