Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp 2019 edition
I totally disagree. Wr's can be found in the mid and later rounds and still be paid modest money. Paying a wr 20 million is absurd. They only touch the ball a few times a game. A great QB makes average wr's look good.

Yes SOME QB's make WR's look great but to say that any avg WR can make a difference is not the case anymore. That was back in the 80s and 90s. The game is not the same . The best athletes are WR's now

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp 2019 edition
Other than NE, Name me a team with bottom tier WRs and they are good on offense?
Here's a list of teams with no true #1 WR. Miami = sucks Washington = bad pass game (may change if Terry and Harmon are legit) Ravens = no pass game Raiders without Cooper last yr = sucked Dallas with Cooper = WAYYY Better List could go on but there is no doubt that pass catchers are very valuable and Mike Thomas got what the market is for great WRs

Exactly. Just like the Redskins did by signing a very average QB like Alex Smith with a big, fat and long contract. BA was trying to get a quick fix for the Cousins fiasco. You only pay the big bucks for an elite QB. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp 2019 edition
Having an elite QB correlates to having a consistent, winning team. He can't carry the team by himself, but without real talent at that position generally, you can't maintain an above-average or better franchise.

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp 2019 edition
Yeah paying any old WR 20 million is just flat out insane but when you have someone like Michael Thomas who catches 85% of the balls thrown his way, and is an elite number 1 at that age, that is what the market dictates. Doesn't mean you go out there and pay Robert Woods that because he had 1200 yards because he isn't on Michael Thomas level. I am still mad we didn't take him over Josh Doctson but I have to learn to live with that.

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp 2019 edition
Per ESPN, Dallas has offered Dak,Zeke and Cooper "Top 5" level of pay per each position, Zeke has rumored to decline that offer. It appears he could really pull off a Leveon Bell here but we'll see who budges first.
BTW paying those guys that kind of money would most likely mean they lose Byron Jones and Jaylon Smith which is perfectly fine for me

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp 2019 edition
source with knowledge of the situation tells NBC's Chris Simms that Antonio Brown is dealing with frostbitten feet after "entering a cryotherapy machine without the proper footwear."
Well that's a new one. Brown had previously been described as dealing with "blisters." Speaking Tuesday, coach Jon Gruden would only say the team was "gathering information." It's a ridiculous injury but hardly a laughing matter. Brown's status for the remainder of camp should be considered up in the air. Kevin Sheehan is right these diva WR aren't worth the time...AB and ODB Jr...Dez Bryant...
