That should get the ball rolling on the FA wrs.

Only 11 million a year for the guy generally considered to be the best available...

White smoke...a receiver has been signed...

 

That's not as bad of a deal as feared. This might be a much more reasonable market than expected

Yeah it appears the FA market for WR and RB is experiencing a reset in value. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Not sure it's as much of a reset as it is just a really, really weak FA WR class.

Lol

Don't forget that Jimmy G will be sitting out most of the season.

It's mostly #2's and slot guys. Still, it got stupid last year with those guys.

Meyers being that cheap is great news for us. We should be able to get an upgrade for a very reasonable price if we want.

We were previously connected to Hardman

There's just no one on the FA market that excites me in the least. It still seems to me that Chinn might be getting shopped. Another poster yesterday mentioned the Bengals as a dance partner. They lost both their starting safeties yesterday and they have three WRs who are legit starting caliber. Chinn might be a lot more valuable to them than Tyler Boyd as a #3 WR and Tyler Boyd might be a lot more valuable to us as a #1 WR than Jeremy Chinn. Hmmm...

This is a good take.

If we're shipping Chinn to the Bengals, I'd aim for Tee Higgins. If we have to throw a mid-round pick in addition to Chinn then so be it.

I mean, Meyers would've been the 3rd highest paid WR in FA last year. Kirk's contract was eye popping but then the guy went out there and put up 1100 yards and 8 TDs so maybe the Jags weren't so crazy after all. The Rams did a dumb thing with Allen Robinson paying him for the guy he was a few years ago, not the guy he is now.

I can't take credit for the specific scenario with the Bengals. That was somebody else. I'd give credit if I recalled who.

You ain't getting Tee Higgins.

I think he is a FA next year and they have to pay Burrow and Chase.  Maybe they try to get something for him instead of letting him walk?  I doubt it but it seems like there is a small path that could work....
