WFT Free Agency

I gave him a nickname in another thread as well.









Humpy sounds no gayer than Fitzmagic.



Yes. It. Does. I mean Fitzmagic is pretty great imo. And I don’t know if Humpy is gay because lets face it a man can hump a man, woman, or a sheep. If by gay you meant corny then yeah Humpy is corny af.

Remember back when some tried to make the argument that Okung was better than Trent? So much for that.

Okung was scouted as the #1 LT coming in that draft, Shannon took Trent...the better athlete and ended up being the best player.

Okung made some pro bowls, but never reached the elite level of play as Trent...Trent also played thru a TON of injuries early in his career, Okung did not...he would sit out

Trent is still way better than Okung, and with a year off this late in his career, may ultimately prolong his career and high level of play

Actually it sounds straight ass dumb

WFT signs WR/KR DeAndre Carter.

Looks like he returns punts/kicks more than he catches passes.

Another sign Sims may be in camp but will have competition both as a WR and as a returner.

Sims was garbage as a returner, his spot on the team is on very thin ice

Terry McLaurin isn't a #1 WR because of his size? Does that mean that Tyreek Hill isn't a #1 receiver too? Stefon Diggs, Amari Cooper, Justin Jefferson... They are all about the same size.

2000+ yards receiving and 11 TDs in two years without a clear #2, and six different starting QBs.

There's no question that TM is a #1 receiver.

I'm building an ideal roster, and of course the real world is never ideal, I want the #1 WR I eventually pay almost $20M a year once his rookie contract expires to have it all: speed, quickness, size, route running, etc. I'm not hating on McL, but 1,000 yards a season in a 16 game season isn't mind blowing. He has been very solid, but not sure I would call him elite or a true #1 WR yet. Thus I put it at 1.5. He has been our most consistently productive offensive player since drafted, you have to resign him, but I can think of at least 20 WRs just as productive many who aren't #1s.

He's about 6 ft and runs a 4.3 40, would you trade him for a guy 6'4" runs a 4.5? Probably not, so perhaps you are right, and I'd say a #1.25WR. Interesting discussion anyway, the size vs. speed thing. In theory, speedsters rarer, and you want to take top off D. For years I've watched guys like Hill destroy Ds and wished we had such a player, and now we do.

Tyreek Hill only true smurf you listed. I don't love Diggs or Cooper. It is an interesting discussion, especially starting 2 or 3 small speed guys at WR, which we seem destined to try. I mean in theory you should just be able to torch people deep all day long, but this isn't the Raiders or Chargers Os of old, even in a pass happy league. it seems like the Os you see actually getting it done when it counts have some big WRs that can beat off the big zone corners and make the tough contested catches over middle or in end zone. The absence of size limits you, just like the absence of speed. There will also be some outliers, and we could argue how much you trade size for speed, but yeah, while there are outliers, a lack of size does prevent a great many WRs from being #1s.

What I think we all hope is that the O becomes consistently productive, especially in the 1st quarter. With more WRs, less balls for McL, but also increased aggregate O production, so you'd expect his production to increase, but perhaps not simplistically linearly. Whether he is a #1.25 or #1, I'm glad he is on our team, but I still think we have to have a big WR who can get it done at some point. It is really interesting to ask if you can put Samuels, Humphries, McL out at WR and go deep lots and lots and lots. One thing certain, if you do, you'd better be able to protect your QB on deep drop backs to give WRs time to get open deep. Perhaps a good argument for going LT early in draft.

so a 6'0" 210lb WR lacks size? Ok. I have heard it all now.

Relative to what? You could argue he isn't small, but few people would call a 6 foot receiver big. These posts are hilarious.

Rivera said in the presser the team has had no contact with Scherff regarding a long term solution (https://twitter.com/john_keim/status/1377647100897427458) ... If he's gone next year, tagging him really was a poor move cap wise.
