Exactly what I'm thinking, but might keep 7 on final cuts, then place one on PS to get down to 6 active

The upside to signing Renfrow now is that, even if we end up cutting him, if we get into the season and someone goes down we'll have a solid veteran option we can bring in who already knows the offense and can step in right away.

I hope he shows out. If he’s healthy (the reason I believe he took the time). He can be our second vet guy who can contribute. We will definitely keep 6 Wr this year. XL, Tmac, Adam T, Coker, Renfrow, and Horn JR (contributing on special teams returning) is a good upgrade and solid WR group top to bottom as long as the young guys pan out

Nice piece by DGantt

He didn't play last season, an absence from football that was noticeable for a former Pro Bowler who was still at the age when he could have been at his physical prime.

But he was far from anything resembling his physical prime, often leaving him without the energy to do much at all.

Renfrow said that the challenges he's dealt with stemmed from a diagnosis of the autoimmune condition ulcerative colitis, which had left him with weight loss, fatigue, and high fevers.

I didn't know about his health issue.  That sort of makes what happened w/ the Raiders make a lot of sense and why he sort if went totally MIA last offseason w/ no workouts/looks.

Imagine where we'd be if AT retired and an UDFA had not secured a roster spot and played well.

I can tell you EXACTLY where we'd be, as it would have been one of two things to happen.

DK Metcalf would be a Panther right now as we'd have made sure to beat out whatever offers were made for him as we'd have that desperate for WR help.

Or we'd have still drafted T-Mac but probably would have needed to trade up to get him, as instead of the world thinking we were taking Carter or another defender, everyone with half a brain would have known T-Mac was our top target and some team would have bluffed another trading up to get him to get us to give up picks for him.

      First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.
