What FA WR do you want (and we can afford)

I'd Kick the tires on:

WR Jordan Matthews

WR Carlos Henderson (was big on him coming out of college)

WR Chris Hogan

Not so sure about Henderson, he seems like a problem waiting to happen. If you have AB or OBJ being diva receivers, that's one thing, but when it's your 4-5th guy, screw that!  I was big on Justin Hardy coming out of ECU, but he just never panned out. I'd rather keep Byrd.

Hogan would be interesting...

Tyrell Williams would be nice if we could actually utilize his down the field abilities

Looks like he's signing with the Raiders. No word on the money, but he was looking for a lot.

And the Raiders have been giving out a lot.

Golden Tate would be an awesome get to put with Samuel and Moore but thanks to years of disastrous contracts and two GM’s that don’t have the slightest clue he’s most likely way out of our price range. 

Donte Moncrief is a more realistic option. Moncrief, Samuel and Moore would give us 3 guys with the ability to win deep on any given play.

We have our three guys -- Moore, Samuel, Wright. I don't see us getting involved in the FA market unless it's a ''possession'' type receiver (6'2''+) however I think the value is available on this type of player rounds 3 and on. 

If Byrd returns as the return specialist all of our receivers aside from Smith who is 6' will be 5'11'' or shorter. While we have size inside with Olsen and Thomas I do think we are in the market for a big bodied receiver, and the rookie pay scale IMO is the best fit considering we have two veterans in Wright and Smith already.

Another cheap vet to fill the roster or take a flyer on a guy in the 4th with some size. We’re a injury away from having a bad WR core and cb core

Moncrief is another Funchess clone. That's why I'm surprised the Colts gave Funchess $13M. They already know how this goes.

I wanted CPAT, but now that he's gone, nobody really. I'd take a flyer on Kevin White or Devante Parker if there was nothing else to do.

I don't think that we can afford anyone else. Not Tate, not Moncrief, not Cobb...

Parker got extended in MIA. White is a walking injury. Pass. 

Here are the remaining FA's at Receiver

Crabtree is about the only interest I have regarding a possession receiver. However I'd wager the price is too high. I think we'll go for one in the draft.

I see why you would say that, but I don't know about that. Moncrief is faster. And he has better hands. I think he gets more separation too (if anyone who has nextgen metrics or advanced statistics wants to confirm).

53.6, 55.3, and 53.9% catch rates over the last three seasons.

Funchess at 39.7 (LOL!), 56.8, and 55.7% over the same time period. 

They've been very similar over the past two years. Moncrief was actually 60%+ his first two seasons. Not sure what happened.

I agree that Moncrief has better hands but it hasn't really led to better production. But according to advanced metrics, Funchess is the much better catcher of contested balls (53% vs. 19%) so for those of us who consider Funchess to be soft and a big WR who plays small we certainly wouldn't be very happy with Moncrief.

Who upgrades us from Moore Samuel Wright and Smith?

Honestly?

Perhaps Tate or Cobb (better than Wright, fo sho), but they're likely out of our price range. 

We're probably good until the draft.
