Thoughts on Godwin?

[BrianS]

He looked good returning punts.  Need to see him get more opportunities at WR to determine if he's ready.  One catch for 10 yards is not enough tape.  "Cautiously optimistic"

Maybe we are starting to hit our groove on WRs. We went through a decade or so of bad picks at WR.

Samuel, Moore and Goodwin in the last three drafts.

Don't forget about CMC.  Yes, he's our starting RB . . . but he could EASILY slide out into the slot and absolutely terrorize an opposing defense.

Smooth athlete. Fluid movement. Keep him

My first instinct to post in this thread was the exact word "fluid."

Godwin looks sneakily good to me. I'm pretty sure it was him that had one very good route that I remember without going back to look. It was a short post-corner or in-out, whatever you want to call it, but he shook the DB pretty good and made the catch.

Also, he looked the most comfortable and the most talented of anyone at handling return duties.

I hope they keep 6 WR's and all are valuable and needed if we plan to spread the ball out. 1 or 2 key injuries could set us back but having enough guys to step up will keep the machine going. Hope he makes it. 

[Krovvy]

Liked his draft profile, loved getting him in the 7th, and really love what he's done in the preseason.

[DeAngelo Beason]

He will make the team for sure.

[Captain Morgan]

I hope he makes it.  I don't want our starting RBs and WRs returning kicks.

[Ricky Spanish]

Would love to see him develop into the future slot receiver if we ever move on from Wright.

He should be on team cut Smith save the money. Kid has been open alot 

We wouldnt save any money. It's already spent. When he converted his contract at the beginning of TC

[LinvilleGorge]

I would be displeased if we cut this kid and try to PS him only to lose him just to keep Torrey Smith. That would be dumb IMO.

I believe that is incorrect.  According to Spotrac his contract (T Smith) this year is not guaranteed.  It appears to be a straight $3 million savings if he gets cut.

This also shows why Vernon Butler makes the team this year.  We're paying the same amount for his services whether we keep him or not.  :(

That money wouldn't roll over. It would just sit unless we used it on signing another player.

Sure, I agree, but having $3 million sitting there waiting to sign an injury replacement mid season is not a bad situation to be in.  Assuming that Godwin continues to progress and impress, I think it's not a terrible decision to give Torrey his pink slip.
