How much of the overage on his contract was because:

- the salary cap went up - as reported - beyond every single teams internal models of what was going to happen this year
- an very underwhelming FA class at WR

I wonder how this contract will look after some of these other receivers are signed in FA this year

I highly suspect that, when it's all said and done, we would have been better off spending that 10 million or more on other receivers.

Someone should give Hayward-Bay a call. I bet he still runs a 4.3.

Now we need to resign Boom to get the Band back together... ~ @El Chapo Jr

Don't forget Booby Evans!

That money could be spent on an ilb who would start and make our defense serious.

Fair enough.

“F**k them elite LB’s”

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Maybe Scheelhaase has plans in mind to use him more. So maybe some new tweaks to the passing game scheme with Kupp being gone.

I'll believe it when I see it. I'll stay hopefully but man is this a head scratcher.

Probably could have had Tyler Lockett at that price for a year. Already mentioned Hollywood Brown may have been had for around the same dollars. Both are a little older but have provided more production in their careers. Here's hoping for a Tutu breakout season but I just don't see it.

I'd prefer Tutu to either of these guys. Brown was almost invisible last year when he came back from his shoulder injury and its not like the Chiefs had an abundance of receiving threats. Lockett is old and has zero RAC ability. If Tutu is given targets, he outperforms these 2 by a lot.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Yeah Hollywood Brown is fools gold

 

[Flatlyner]

Tutu was the 19th WR in the NFL in yards per route run. Lets get him some more targets and see what happens. He made some big catches at clutch times last season.

its going to be great to have a player that other teams really don't know about, being used like he never was before and McVay will look like the genius he is. good for TuTu.

 

[ArkyRamsFan]

See my above comment about Tutu's best play coming from F which was Kupp's position. Now that Kupp's gone, there's actually the ideal spot for Tutu.

So what is the "F"? Is that the same thing as a slot receiver?
Thanks.

They need his speed plus I think they are staying away from Robinson because of legal issues.

I wouldnt necessarily call a DUI "legal issues", and wouldnt think a 1-2 game suspension would deter signing him

 

[AZRams4Life]

I happen to like him, but as an added bonus, my wife is ecstatic (happy wife, happy life!!)

 

[Memento]

...Fuck. Now I have to say his name for another year.

Whatever. In McSnead, I trust.

I think many times people accept or reject what she reports based on their own Bias.

Tbf Snead practically said the same thing himself in the interview. He basically said that Robinson's likely suspension means he might not be back.

 

[DzRams]

Snead literally used the term "legal issue". And Snead finished off his statement by saying "We've appreciated his time with us." LOL. They're done!

~ArkyRamsFan~

Yup, not necessarily in all offenses but in a lot.

X - on the line, often boundary
Z - Flanker, off the line
F - slot, can also just be called slot
Y - TE, but sometimes used for slot too

haha, what do you think most bias is a reaction to!

 

[DzRams]

haha, where do you think most bias is a reaction to!

Touche!

I think that's fair
