2014 WR Free Agents

Lafell will take a small contract....he can produce at times and his blocking as a WR is undervalued in our Off by the public...Ginn for sure...Mitchell too...Hardy looks like we'll have to let walk....too many big contracts coming in the following year....and we have a few other holes we can fill with his big cap number that he will request.  KEEP POUNDING!

Is there anyway we can get Johnson and Johnson. Andre and Chris?

Andre could be exactly what Boldin is to Kap to Cam.

AJ is a year younger than Boldin. Draft two receivers still though, let them learn from Johnson and Smitty and have a solid rotation going.

If you would have Asked me this question last week I would have said no, have to get younger. But Johnson still has "it" like Boldin. This would also allow Smitty to work the slot. Plus Johnson is a guy like Smitty that Cam could trust from day 1

We need one of those guys who excels at getting open in the middle of the field.  Doesn't have to be 6'4" or run a 4.4, just a guy who understands getting open and can do it regularly. Somebody who can bail out Cam consistently when nothing down field is available, even if its just 8-10 yards completions.  Olsen has kind of evolved into that guy but if we could get a WR who might make someone miss occasionally it might add another element to the offense.  We will also need to have an offensive philosophy that allows us to utilize such an individual

I wouldn't re-sign Ginn or Hixon. I'd keep LaFell as a 4th WR. Draft a receiver and sign someone like Kenny Britt.

 

I would keep Ginn as a returner and 4-5th receiver and offer to pay him accordingly.  If he isn't cool with that then let him go.  I can't imagine Hixon coming back.  If we could end up with Ginn/Lafell as our 4-5 receivers with SS, one high draft pick and one decent FA as our 1-3 that would be a definite upgrade if the new guys pan out.

Ginn, Edelman, and Nicks. Postpone WR for another year. Fix the line in the draft. Best LT in 1st. A safety (mikell is old and I'm not too sold on Lester although I love the upside) or corner in the second. Then look to CB/double dip OT in 3rd.

Have to move on from Deangelo this off-season. Despite the Cap ramifications we need that contract off the books moving forward.

    • Because being a pauper in the NFL is still making a king's ransom. NFL vet min is roughly 18x the median salary in the U.S.
    • At some point I sense it's gonna create some hate and locker room cancer between these cap hogs and the rest of the players. When the top 6 or 7 players take 80% of the cap, the other 40 plus guys are gonna get pissed off, especially when they're still only winning 5 or 6 games. Why put everything on the line to play with guys who are only in it for themselves? 
    • I am just spitballing here--let it play out and I will go to bed: Let's say Mahome's contract comes due and he insists on $100m per season.  Is there a team that would find the money to pay it?  Would KC? It was in 2015 (I think) when Cam was getting $20m and it was hard to grasp.  In the past decade, the price of a franchise QB has tripled.  Then the next QB bases his contract on the Mahomes deal.  The trend has been the last QB contract is the highest.  I see nothing to discourage that trend--Greed can destroy a league.  Personally, I don't watch baseball any more, and the NBA has a small group of about 8 teams that appear on national TV and they have players who make more than some eastern block countries.  Ticket prices go up---and we are headed for pay-per-view very soon across the board-
