Jarius Wright will be like a younger Cotchery

If you watch the two of these guys play it is very similar. Neither has blazing speed or crazy athleticism but they get open and make clutch catches. Cotchery was huge for us in 2015 and I am expecting Wright to have that same impact. I am really excited about this signing.

He's a poor man's Cotch but he actually is quite a bit faster/quicker. Cotchery had several 1000 yard seasons and years where he was the #1-2 guy and produced, Wright has never had that. He will play a similar role but we can only hope for "young" Cotchery production. I think he could do as much for as Cotch did when he was here but not when he was young and in his prime.

 

EDIT: actually Cotch just had one 1000 yard season but several 800+

I should have specified a younger version of the Cotchery that played for the Panthers, as in the role he plays as a receiver.

Did. Cotchery ever run a 4.4? Wright is pretty dang fast or was anyway. Cotchery though had glue hands...

then again, as someone else pointed out, Wright was always open, his quarterbacks left points on the field a lot.

so we will see what happens with Cam throwing to him.

      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.
