Woah

Nice weapon to have. He can help fill the void when CMC goes down. A Deebo type player

This was the thought I had, jet sweeps, reverses, hands out of the backfield with some carries, he's 6'1 230, almost the same size as Foreman but with a receiver skillet. 

Get him the ball in space in the short to intermediate with an opportunity to break a tackle or make a guy miss.

Robbie

TMJ 

Shi

Laviska

Higgins

That right there is a nice WR room, all young with + talent and inexpensive. 

Zylstra been solid but what's the potential...it's limited. 

[Sgt Schultz]

What I know about him I've learned in the last 20 minutes.  Not the fastest guy on the field, but a good route runner, apparently pretty smart about reacting to the coverage, and does not appear to shy away from contact at the end of the play.

you have to ask yourself then, if they are on rookie deals and they have a rookie qb why?  Seems like we are missing something here

I mean former 9th overall that many other teams had the same grade on and 5th(first in the round) for Dan Arnold and early 3rd? I take that trade 10/10 and twice on tuesday...... insane value for a young player. You could not make that deal for a future 9th overall pick....plus panther got jags on the hook for part of CJs salary too(just that year). No dead cap is with him.

 

Low risk high reward is the type of GM i want, 10000%.

See what the details of this are....feel it will be late round type, but a guess.

Haven't read through the thread, but I really just don't get this move.

In general, I like him as a player, but the guys is a possession receiver, get the ball to him and let him go to work.

Isn't that basically what Shi is supposed to be for us?  That Curtis replacement that we've been looking for?

The guy has looked great in camp and pre-season, so why make this trade and now make Shi basically a pointless player for us at the moment?  

Unless we're trading/cutting Robby, which I'd LOVE, I don't understand this move given how good Shi has looked this year.

Shi probably made Roberts expendable. Which would give reason to needing another 6th WR cause Roberts was only going to be a returner. 

[theinstrumental]

He returned two punts in their last pre-season game. He fumbled one. Doubt he's in as an Andre Roberts replacement. 

Like everyone else, I hope he's here for a Curtis Samuel/Deebo/Cordarrelle Patterson role. Would be a good way to insure against CMC over-use.

Talented guy almost plays like a RB I recall reading the Chiefs were interested in acquiring him after they traded Tyreek Hill

its insane but some on here still like to suck off fitt

 

If this is more then a 7th then I am going ballistic 

I'm assuming it's like a conditional 7th.

It was a great move. Fitt is the best GM we have had. Lots are just bitching to bitch because of Rhule. Dont let the Rhule hate bleed over to Fitt. It is not Fitt`s job to coach.

[TheCasillas]

Oh fug yeah!!! This guy is the Deebo of the afc but the jags are poo at managing their talent.  This is a great grab!!

[CarolinaLivin]

Still not seeing what we gave up
