Maybe, depends on how many 1st's they're offering

Perfect timing if this is the year that Calais retires... Other things I've noticed => * There are an insane number of projected slot-only WR, may help devalue them a bit * QB class looks a lot healthier this year, should help push some guys at other positions down * OT looks very thin at the...

Ha yeah, agreed long term, but I'd consider a few games rental around playoff time. Tbh if we get Houston (and our injuries pan out) then imo we're in good shape and should leave the $2M and and change cap space left over in EDC's pocket in case an area gets severely depleted/underperforms. I...

If we do pick up a WR I reckon it'll be Odell late in the season for a playoff run where we only have to pay for part of the season. Seems unlikely though...

Thanks for the sanity check, that matches my understanding. Good to hear I haven't missed some magic loophole!

I'm seeing a huge wave of people talking about how the salary cap is fake/can be easily bypassed/is no longer a limiting factor, but every cap manipulation strategy I've looked into has effectively just been a way to push the cap hit into a future year's cap space, not evade it. Am I missing...

When did he say that? The closest I can remember is him throwing shade at people that called him a RB during the draft and that he wants to counter that by showing that he can throw as well as run. As far as I can tell the guy loves to run and is crazy good at it

I'm not sold that Lamar doesn't like Roman's system, it's built to cater specifically to his strengths and I'm sure he knows that. If Lamar really hated it then Greg would already be gone, no question. The only room that hate it are WRs (and damn they can be such divas), which makes sense as...

Nah, spill your guts. I'm a pro-Harbs guy, but always down for an opposite opinion

Well yeah, I agree. He was a good receiver in college, not questioning that. The only point I'm making is that you can't necessarily judge a TE's blocking ability in the NFL based on what they did in college.

It's health really, that's the gigantic question mark. If we're fully healthy then imo we should be dominant/right near the top of the AFC (14-3).

Worth noting that almost all TE's are bad at blocking in college because that's not what they're asked to do. I think the most we can say there is that Kolar is a developmental prospect as a blocking TE. Give him a year of training with Boyle and who knows how he might grow.

Tbf I'm not sure how much cap space we have atm and I'm not entirely against another WR if we can afford it. If we can pay our rookies, sign Houston and sign a decent CB and also then get another WR (in that order) without mortgaging our future then I'm all for it.

I think I just straight up disagree that Chris Moore is a viable WR2 (or anything really beyond depth/special teams) or that Boykin > Duvernay/Proche. But, for me, the main point is that WR is a relatively low impact position on our offense. If the young WRs pan out then great, if not then it's...

We had a singular off game, it happens. I don't see why any strategy should be dominant (14-2) in the regular season and then fall flat in the playoffs. A games a game, both teams always want to win, either it works or it doesn't. I'm not saying absolutely no to a vet, but I'd take our WR room...
