    He has the 13th highest AAV on his contract.  He's pretty firmly in the 2nd/3rd tier of TE contracts with players like Henry, Higbee, and Fant.  

     

    Tier 1 - 14-17M AAV - Kittle, Kelce, Goedert, Andrews, Hockenson, Waller

    Tier 2 - 12-14M AAV - Engram, Njoku, Kmet, Schultz

    Keep arguing. He's paid like a top half TE1 with a TE2 role.

    EDIT: I worked with a guy who went to UGA and went back to Athens, GA to be in his buddies wedding. The groom got a DUI going 2-3 blocks from the reception to the hotel. That would be another example of bad timing! .

    In his defense they were stopping every car on that sidewalk, and that ain't legal.

    I think his son is still on house arrest with an ankle monitor, so Good Luck With That

    He got pardoned by the Governor, so I don't think so.

    What would you call it?

    You can't give Knox a 1 v 1 blocking assignment consistently and expect him to win.  This is a problem for your #2 TE.  You can have 1 TE like that.  You can't have 2 because then it forces you to carry a third that only blocks or to use an offensive lineman in that role who obviously doesn't run routes and it makes your offense predictable.  

     

    They drafted Kincaid to do what they paid Knox to do which made Knox irrelevant.  This would be fine if his salary weren't what it is or if his contract weren't structured the way it is.  As it stands Knox about 3 quarters of Knox's salary is dead money.

    Outside the very best of the best of the best. That is exactly how Tight Ends are used. Knox is an above avg. blocking Tight End in the NFL of guys who can actually go out and run routes. Is he a Lee Smith? No. But teams also know Lee Smith isn't a threat in any other way. 

    He gets paid like one of the best of the best. He's not a good blocker and his receiving role has been supplanted by Kincaid. You don't need to pay a guy that much to chip DEs.

    Hollins has been his team's #2 WR for two straight seasons now, fwiw.

    I said on a good team. He played for the Raiders and the Falcons. He caught 18 passes last year.  I don't think that's a #2 WR even on a bad team.  Hollins has caught 131 passes in his entire 6 year career. 57 of of those came in his one season with the Raiders who were so impressed with him that they let him walk after the year.  Maybe he had a huge offer the Raiders didn't want to match? Nope. 1 year 2.5 million, less than a million guaranteed.

     

    Apart from that 1 year with the Raiders, Hollins has played with 3 other teams over a 5 year span.  He averaged 15 (14.8) catches a season for those other 5 years. 16, 10, 16, 14, and 18.  Why anyone thinks he's going to suddenly break out at age 30 and deliver WR2 productivity is beyond my comprehension.

    Knox was used primarily as a blocker in the first half of the season.  That’s a large part of why his catches were down.  They used him to support in double teams quite a bit.  It may not be his best trait, but he does it a lot 

    Using him as help for Spencer Brown isn't the same thing as using him as an actual blocker.

    I get that the A's have abysmal attendance, but moving to a stadium in another city with only 10k seats (+4k for lawn chairs) sounds crazy to me for any professional team.

    Didn't want to pay Oakland the severance fee or be compelled to sell their stake in the property.  Frankly I don't think Oakland really wanted them to stay at this point which was the purpose of the middle finger fee.

     

    I know it was a long time ago, but Oakland stole this team from Kansas City, who stole it from Philadelphia, both times in shady fashion. Karma will work its way back to you.

    Could Spencer Brown be used like Cordy Glenn was?

    I'm pretty sure the other 31 teams already have functioning turnstiles at their facilities but it doesn't hurt to ask I suppose.

    I wouldn't consider having Samuel-Shakir-Hollins with depth of Shorter-Isabella-Shavers as ignoring the position but regardless...stay tuned.

    The bolded players are non-contributors except maybe on special teams. Maybe.  People have been waiting on Shorter to do something since his senior year of high school.  Hollins is who he is at this point and on a good team he's WR 5 or 6 not 3. Isabella is an outside receiver in a slot body. Shavers is a gunner.

     

    Having warm bodies isn't the same thing as addressing the position.  Now, can this change between now and camp? Sure.  Right now WR is an abyss.  They need two more functional players who can play meaningful snaps right now.

    Von miller contract

    Dawson Knox contract

    Stephen diggs contract

    Defense line draft picks that never pan out

    Defense tackle signings that are not good enough

    No reliable pass rusher 

    Wyatt Teller give away

    Edmunds 

    Star contract

     

    Just curious why he is so highly regarded when these issues have come to roost fully

    Because they are winning more than they did for a long time and people are afraid to fall back into the abyss.  It will take a while longer for that ship to turn.

    I can’t imagine Josh signing off on that.  They are genuine bffs

    You can't have 2 TEs that don't block which is what made Kincaid's selection puzzling and a bit wasteful.  You've got Knox eating up a big chunk of cap to be TE #2 now.  Knox's gadget needs to be blocking better so he can be on the field with Kincaid.  If that's not it he's teats on a bull with a contract that's tough to move.

    Has anyone thought of what would have happened if he failed his physical or something and was returned to sender???   😂 😂 😂 

    Players only fail physicals if the receiving team wants them to fail the physical.

    Even still anyone getting some kind of operation or procedure where the hospital could have been shaking is not good.

    I'd imagine it happens more frequently than you'd think. And that everything stops while it's happening.

    That is how fast these thing travel. 

     

    Approx 12 years ago I was on the phone with my daughter. She said to me "I have to go" and hung up. She was living in Herndon, VA. I had no idea what was happening to her and was scared. Less that a minute later my chair was rocking from side to side. I'm not sure that this one was as bad.

    That one shook a little harder, this one lasted a little longer.

    Whoa! Up to 6.25m?! I literally just made a thread of our Projected Draft Capital. Not only would this be an overpay, it could cost us a Comp Pick next season. Wow.

     

    I hope most of the "up to" is incentives and it isn't really close to that much. I mean, that's more than we paid Edwards - who was the presumed starter at Guard. Are we planning on Starting Collins at Guard now?

     

    I was for this move at depth. But that price tag is puzzling.

    Up to. If he ends up starting the whole season, is an All Pro, cures cancer, and negotiates ends to the Ukraine and Gaza situations. Then and only then does he make 6.25M
