Really happy for Alshon Jeffery

[Omar 382]

I know that a lot of points have been made on both sides of the coin regarding his production this year. In a contract year, he has been selfless and a great teammate. I don't think Ertz and Agholor have as many TD's or catches in general if Jeffery isn't lining up. I think he will be a great player with us and start producing big numbers regardless.

Awesome 53 yard touchdown today!

 

[L.Freamon]

i agree

 

[Rey]

I agree Jeffery's value extends to more than just stats ... I do think they need to give him more 50/50 balls here and there. I guess they haven't needed to do that much though as other guys like Ertz and Agholor have stepped up their games this year. I hope he sticks around after this season.

Dude's a baller when healthy.


Wish the Bears would've kept him.

 

[Iggloo]

He seems like a good guy and I would not object to re-signing him as long as it was not an outrageous amount of money. He does do well in one-on-one coverage and thus frees up the middle for Ertz and Agholor.

 

[Darth Dawkins]

This could play out well for us, we could wind up with a #1 at a discount price.

 

[Rey]

At his current pace, Alshon will end up with around 830 yards and 6 scores. Those would not be eye popping stats for a #1 which may make other teams hesitant to throw big contract #'s his way. So yeah, I think we have a good shot of locking him up at a nice 4 year deal where his cap figure for 2018 is team friendly.

 

[Orlando Eagles]

Yeah...it's just been a shame he seems to not go up and fight for 50-50 balls....

...is an argument that really can't be made anymore.

 

[ill]

buddy of mine just sent me a text saying the Lions gave the Eagles permission to talk to Calvin Johnson...

 

[old duke]

Unless he is willing to play for a reasonable price - no thanks. How much does he have left?

 

[Rey]

Calvin just turned 32 a month ago ... 2 years "younger" than Larry Fitzgerald and Fitz still plays at a high level. Calvin at even 70% of what he was when he left can get you 7-800 yards. He's only missed a season and a half ... it's not like he's been out of the game for years. The question is has he stayed in shape?

 

[Iggloo]

The trade deadline is in 24 hours. Knowing Howie's history, I think we will have to be tuned in to a move tomorrow.

 

[Orlando Eagles]

Honestly....I'm going to stay consistent here. Why?

We are talking about one of the greatest game changing receivers in history. We are also talking a guy who has not played in two years....and all the questions that go with that. Add in that there would need to be a trade and compensation to the Lions and the fact that our WR corp is pretty solid this year

I'm a fan of keeping it simple even when you have the draft capital to make a move.

All of that into consideration and I say no thanks.

 

[SixthStreet]

It would be a waste to trade a pick for Johnson. There's no way he is in anywhere near football shape right now and will likely take the remainder of the season to get in shape. This is a trade, if you want to do it, that is done in the offseason.

I am with you on this. If we bring in anyone, let it be an left OT. We were most likely going to draft one or FA one this off-season. We need to make a run, go get Joe Staley even if he needs to miss the next game.

Umm, who do you think is choreographing these team TD celebrations. He's been producing big numbers.

 

[northeastphillyguy]

The occasional bomb, the occasional touchdown has been helping in a big way. The go to guy for a BIG PLAY.
This guy has value.
