Really hoping they can find a Draft pick of similar quality to Rashee Rice. Can't afford more busts like Skyy Moore & Kadarius Toney. It would be nice to find an inexpensive veteran with reliable hands & route running as well. |

MVS did that until the wheels came off in 2023. Just look at how much different the offense looked in 2022 when they got what they expected from him. It worked. Extremely well. And he came with a low cap hit and a relatively reasonable escape hatch. I see that contract as a mild disappointment because of how worthless he was for most of the 2023 regular season but honestly, on balance, it was...fine. Okay. It wasn't even in the top half of 'bad' contracts handed out that off-season, IMO. If you have an MVS sort of contract on your books where you overpay by maybe 20% but get roughly what you expected from that player, well hell man, that's just the nature of FA. |

Comes down to cost and value.
I would prefer Ridley or Hollywood but would I rather have Ridley at 20 or Mooney at 9 plus incentives? This would be more of a JuJu type of signing. Guy that was not as productive as he was earlier in career but still good at football. If anyone thinks Veach is paying 20 million for a WR, keep dreaming. |

That’s why I think a guy like Hollywood Brown makes more sense. I don’t think Veach is gonna skimp on WR at all this year

Agreed. Either make a huge splash with a trade or maybe trading up in the draft if there’s a WR dropping we are out of reach of but can step in producing quick. Or just stay put if that’s best and develop them over the course of the year while Kelce, Pacheco, Rice, and Watson hold things together. |

Re: Mooney
I don’t think he’s a good buy at the ridiculous Spotrac market valuation. I also don’t think that’s what it takes. I think you’re talking about $6-8M that is incentive laden, if it’s Mooney. I don’t think it’s the only move or the best move or without risk. I do think it’s a logical fit, and if the team pursues him they’re seeing a guy who still has the physical tools but has had his production suppressed by a limited QB and bad offense. I prefer Curtis Samuel and Marquise Brown as options. And again, I’m not expecting any of these guys to be a new top dog type. I’m expecting them to be reliable pros who fit into the offense and do their jobs effectively. |

Don’t some of these WR signings make the Mike Evans deal look that much better?

For every Rice, you'll get a Moore. No matter how good a GM you are, you're really looking at 50/50 odds if you're looking at taking a WR in the 2nd round. And if you're taking one in the 1st from this class...well you're really looking at 2nd round caliber guys for the most part past Brian Johnson Jr, IMO. Some folks would put Franklin in that 1st round group, some Mitchell, others even Worthy. But I think the fact that you see that kind of variance in opinion says plenty. It says at that point, NONE of them are true 'first round grade' caliber prospects. Which is to say we better NOT be in a situation where 'we can't afford another Skyy Moore' because there's a pretty solid chance that's what we get. That's just the draft, fellas. It's why you just gotta keep getting your shots up. Some will hit, others won't. Over a long enough timeline, we'll be fine. |
