I'm way too intrigued with Cornell Powell's potential to take a swing at Julio. He may end up being the next Marcus Kemp, who knows for certain, but man we have so much firepower at other positions around the X spot already that we just don't need Julio and his contract for one year and his injuries. And I say that as a HUGE Julio fan. Hell, I think mkp has convinced me to give Larry Fitz a shot if we're looking for a vet for that spot, lol.

Larry Fitzgerald?
We've gone from a borderline stupid use of resources that at least has the potential to be brilliant for a couple of seasons to just being stupid to be stupid. He's toast. |

I think Fitzgerald now is what we hope Powell is going to be albeit a lot slower.... I think he's worth a swing for his professionalism and durability alone

I don't know what the financials are but if he's cheap I'd absolutely be on board with bringing him on the redemption tour. |

DRob's catch/target was 76.3% last year while Fitz's was 75.0%. In both cases, there was good production in regard to catch rate. The mid-70s, actually, is top-notch. Compare them to the top 5 most productive receivers in the NFL in 2020... Diggs - 76.5%, Hopkins - 71.9%, Adams - 77.2%, A. Robinson - 67.5%, Lockett - 75.8% Given that both receivers are getting near similar YAC, Robinson had 165 on 45 receptions (3.67 yac ave)and Fitz had 178 on 54 receptions (3.30 yac ave), then the extra 3 yards per reception Robinson is getting comes primarily from his route. You look at Fitz, that means on average he got the ball within the first 4.1 yards. That's not good. You question, statistically, his ability to win beyond the release. You see with your eyes he really can't anymore. |

It's guaranteed. The Falcons might be able to pick up some of that but we're taking the bulk of the hit.
Re-doing his deal moves the guaranteed money, making him much more difficult to afford in the future, which isn't wise considering his age and injury history. I think people need to realize that this move just doesn't make sense. |

You're more than likely having to cut salary to fit him in PLUS trading high draft picks. It's just too much. |

I can't believe people think Sammy Watkins was an instrumental part of this offense.
Or that his absence against the Bucs meant shit. Even when he was healthy he was giving us journeyman's production. We don't need to overpay for a third target. Foolishness. |
