I'm looking him up and he put up very similar numbers to DJ Moore while playing 3 less games.  He is only one year older than DJ also.  Offer him a contract similar to Moore's and see what happens.  Draft another WR/TE at 39 and we suddenly have at least respectable weapons for our rookie.  

Meyers is a very clear #2 WR. He would be a fantastic addition but not at the price he might command. If we can get him in the $10-13 mil range, 100% in. Other than that, he isn't a guy we should be spending a lot of money on.

I would love DJ Chark too but that will also be price dependent.

This is great news for us. 

I am getting fairly stoked over this free agency, the more I read about the defense we will run--I am still pretty ignorant about it, but it seems we have studs where we need studs--a bit concerned about LB depth, but that is about it. 

Bozeman and Foreman are not irreplaceable, so if I was them, I would call my agent.  I am not a fan of re-signing 1-dimensional running backs.  I would offer Bozeman $7.5 and Foreman $3.  Take it or leave it.  If Bozeman walks, move Cade Mays to center and let Elf back him up.

If we can grab a WR in free agency once the price drops, we can find one in the draft--hopefully, we can add a TE and be OK.

Teddy Bridgewater come on down .....

May not be popular opinion but wouldn't mind hanging on to PJ to run with  Stroud/Young + Corral/Eason. 

Kid is scrappy and has had to fight his way into the league. That is a good mentor in my mind considering our staffs knowledge.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
