Thoughts on Trading Funchess?

[Cpt slay a ho]

We’ve seen Funchess ceiling, time to take the L and get another prospect in here who plays up to there size and can remember simple coaching given out in pop Warner football, like playing the ball at its highest point or turning into a defender whenever the QB throws a bad pass simple stuff

I get it

im more down on Shaq than Funch 

I'm not necessarily down on Shaq, I just don't think he's worth anywhere near the almost $10M he's going to hit us for next season. He's basically a JAG. He had the perfect audition opportunity during TD's suspension to show what he could do and... well, it wasn't much. He's not a bad guy to have on your roster, but he's not a guy you pay $10M.

If Funchess always played at or close his ceiling I'd be all about hanging onto him. The problem isn't his ceiling, it's his floor and aside from last season, the rest of his career has been spent a lot closer to his floor than his ceiling.

Thank you, I was about to lose faith in the huddle.

I wouldn't be surprised if we draft another bigger WR.aybe not another jumbo receiver but a classic "big" WR. A 6'2"ish or so guy. Riley Ridley would fit nicely.

I totally agree.  With our other needs I don't see using an early pick on one but maybe 3rd-5th round.  I could signing a cheap vet that fits that mold also.

Basically, the inconsistency is maddening with Funchess

He's pretty consistent. Unfortunately, he's pretty consistently bad. Last year was an anomaly and that sucks, because I thought he showed some really promising development. But it certainly looks like that was just a plain fluke.

Passion is first word that comes to mind when I think of Donechess

He did last year, this year his effort has been terrible.

Way too early, buddy

Ok, I take it back lol. Now I wish we had traded him for a something.

Funchess and Smith need to go.  Moore, Samuels, Wright + CMC are plenty.

Against CB's maybe. What about LB's?

A team has given Funchess $10 million guaranteed following an expedited fall from the active roster last season. We should have unloaded him for draft capital. An extra pick sure is needed with all of these glaring holes we need to fill.

Hindsight's 20/20. Devin possibly doing well in contract year was a much safer bet than another team valuing him that highly.
