Hurney was smart to trade for Torrey Smith

Smart?  Not really.  He took a gamble sure but I'll hold off patting him on the back until I see if he's worth the investment.  

Then I guess there's no point in posting here until September... for any of our signings

That's certainly your choice.

Igo and I seem to agree quite a lot.

after 11 years of hurney i'm still skeptical of everything he does ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is like comparing overpaying for a 2001 Accord then feeling better when you see someone buy a new Lamborghini

And to make it worse. Worley went from being trash to "having potential." Oh the Huddle. Never seems to amaze me. 

I actually think that Worley has potential; but that's a lot of gray area. I'm not sure he'll be anything other than depth, especially since he was losing play time/ starts to Seymour last season. I'll trust Wilkes and Rivera's opinion of his "potential" more than my own. 

PS - huddle gonna huddle

Agreed. Tons of teams had exorbitant amounts of cap space this year. This was going to create bidding wars on certain players at key positions. Finding mid-level players at the mid-level prices is very important. If we waited for Smith to get cut, there is no guarantee we could have gotten him at that price with no guaranteed contract. 

@SOJA also I don't agree with your analogy. We know KC paid a Lamborghini price for Watkins, but there has been nothing in his past to consider him a Lamborghini player.

It was an amazing move. It was a great move when it was announced and is a great move now. These guys aren’t AB, OBJ, hell they are barely Devin Funchess and just got way overpaid

Thank you for contributing to the conversation and raising a valid counterpoint. I think we disagree on Watkins, in that paired with the correct QB (see Cam), the guy could be devastating. Think less historic version of Randy Moss in New England. 

We will see. If Mahomes is all that he is cracked up to be, Watkins could have a huge year.

Well,  at least you admit it.  Others are just full of bullshit.

a good deal on poo still gets you... poo.

[Ricky Spanish]

It looks like we were right in assuming we wouldn't be able to afford a WR in the market this offseason, so I'm inclined to agree that it was a financially responsible move from Hurney...

I never thought I'd see the day...

Good on him. Smart move for a solid if not spectacular player for below his market value.
