We essentially turned Mike Williams down

[frankw]

No reason to berate each other over Mike Williams. He doesn't move the needle that much anyways.

[rayzor]

We didn't want to join that dance. Wouldn't be worth it.

Jets essentially overpaid to rent a deep/jump ball specialist for an all in win now Aaron Rodgers season. 
 

we weren’t supposed to march that price tag….given we were basically a 180 degrees from where the Jets are

I am happy.   We already have 2 veteran WRs.  If Mingo and a rookie aren't allowed to play, how do they improve?  We draft players that are developmental and we want to discard them as soon as they don't become superstars.  In fact, we are more patient with first round picks when we should be more patient with the day 3 picks.  Develop them. 

I am OK letting Theilen and Johnson be the veteran WRs this season.  We have a WR deep draft.   I think a first rounder will fall to us at 33 and I think we can find one later in the draft.  Even if we lose both Thielen and Johnson after this season, we would still have 3 or 4 non rookies--add another WR then.

While I belive that he wasn't the best value and that we had a number, let me just say that we don't appear to be in lose-now mode either. 

It looks like we are trying to build up for the future. A one year rental on a 30 year old WR who can’t stay off IR isn’t worth overpaying in our situation. A cheap one year rental to help develop our QB? Sure? But that wasn’t the case.

From where the jets hope they are.

I expect them to do what the jets do and fall on their face in spectacular fashion. But they are throwing everything in it because they know they won't ever have as good as a window as this year. They have no future.

I'm all about giving Bryce the best opportunity to prove he can be the answer next year but signing a big money 30 year old WR ain't it. You gotta protect yourself if he proves to NOT be it. Which is honestly the most likely scenario.

[ClawOn]

We've been signing guys around 26. Williams will be 30 when the season starts.  

[Shocker]

29 and injury prone.  Not surprising we passed

[JawnyBlaze]

I’m glad we didn’t pick up the phone for $15mil

[Mother Grabber]

we didn’t turn down williams, we turned down the offer. big difference, and a good move for us.

[cardiackat88.]

I have always been skeptical of the many NFL receivers named "Mike Williams".

[countryboi]

spending 10-15 million on an injury prone 30 year old receiver is a risky plan. I cant knock anyone for turning that down
