Free Agency Musings

45 minutes to go...

Wish I was at home having a drink in anticipation instead of at work.

NFL Network saying Vikings going hot and heavy after Jeffery.

Can be what they were hoping Treadwell would be.

I was getting excited for Jeffery for a minute, but he's really a risky signing. His two big years still had Marshall taking most of the coverage. And only 50 rec for 800 yards, 6 TDs total, and injured in the two years since. And the PED suspension concern.

Then again the Vikings could just be getting in there to rustle our feathers after we thieved their 1st round pick.

I'm with you. I'm not sure if I want Jeffrey. That is the risk I don't like bc that could blow up in our faces quickly. He is also 2 years removed from 1000 receiving year.

At the same time I'd be excited to land him. He has huge hands and can catch the ball in traffic.

I think I'd rather toss the dice on Pryor to be honest. His production on a bad Browns team makes me think he can be a veryspecial go to guy for the Eagles.

I think we end up with Pryor, not Jeffery.

I think your right and it might be better, cheaper and less risky -- mostly due to $$ savings.

So if we get Pryor and Smith, who do you draft at 14? I like that we didn't trade any of our picks. I think possibly Ross ( a speedster) , OJ Howard( a red zone nightmare for opposing defenses, or go all defense?

 

[eaglesnut]

I like Pryor to but he's also risky.

Here are his stats and Britt's stats from 2016:

Britt
68-1002-5 (15 games)

Pryor
77-1007-4 (16 games)

I think Pryor is only going to get better. My in-laws are Browns fans and they tell me how pissed off and tell me Pryor has the potential to become an elite WR in this league. Kind of too bad that he didn't start developing until recently. Also surprised he wasn't learning some of the skills of the trade while at The Ohio State? If Pryor was an Urban Meyer recruit, he would have probably been learning the position.

 

[old duke]

Just signed Jeffrey a good deal for us.

When websites have way too much to drink

 

[Orlando Eagles]

Not super crazy about Jefferys question marks. But Howie and crew got him for just one year to see. I have to like that deal. 14 mil is a bit much....let's hope the details show lots of incentive lading.

For now....huge risk reward player....team friendly deal. I'm cool with it.

 

[Iggloo]

We are literally over the cap already, so we need to cut or trade guys just to get under it again. I expect Ryan Matthews, Mychal Kendricks and Jason Kelce all to be cut for $$$.

Contrary to what I've seen earlier this week I am seeing signs that Kelce is a likely goner anyway. Or at least restructured.

Womack is another intriguing one year pickup.
