    I just saw it on OTC and came to post this. Smoot has $1.75M guaranteed so he is close to lock to make the roster. Claypool and Jones have no real guarantees.

     

    Looks good to me. One thing I don't like is $750k guaranteed to Morrow. Seems like a wasted money if he gets released, which seems quite possible to me.

    I think Morrow or Jones will make the roster and Morrow is the better tackler, offers special teams ability, and has less injury history.


    I’d love Deion Jones on the practice squad though, but his elite cover skills makes me want to roster him. Can’t have too many of those guys.

    Being the same uninvested knucklehead that he’s always been.  Waiting/hoping for people to change is a poor life strategy.

    Giving people an opportunity isn’t a poor life strategy. Being given an opportunity also doesn’t mean they get a clean slate or leeway either. 
     

    It’s what I do for a living.

     

    The one person who takes advantage usually helps make up for the 9 that don’t though. 

    If Claypool is lazy, or an issue, he’ll be gone quick.

    You are exactly right. If you look at Rapp's pick of Tua last year Claypool ran a slow, lazy, round at the stem out route. That's what he has been doing for years now. It's like he decided that there was no way he was going to play every down with the urgency that is required at this level of play. He totally lazed out. I'm not sure I'd want him anywhere near our young WRs/TE. 

    No help to Tua throwing into double coverage, but that’s what I’ve heard with him. If Claypool doesn’t think the ball is

    coming, his effort tanks.

    The problem is that he is being paid like a top-ten kicker, which he isn't and probably never was going to be. You can get the same production from street-free agents or UDFAs. That's my issue. He was pretty good, but he isn't a top kicker and we should have never paid him 5 million plus per. Point being, average to above average kickers are a dime a dozen type guys. 

    Contracts can always be adjusted, happens all the time. 
     

    Maybe he takes a big jump in 2024 and we have to talk about how underpaid he is.

  5. Hindsight is always 20-20.

     

    Bass didn’t give anyone any reason to think he wouldn’t continue his upward trajectory in 2023. He was an 87% kicker the previous 2 seasons and started 9-9 this year before the wheels feel off.

     

    What caused those wheels to fall off is a much more interesting conversation that likely is deeper than ‘bAsS SuCks” in my opinion. 
     

    The reality is:

     

    Weeks 1-5 he was 9-9 on FGs

     

    Weeks 6-7 he was 1-4 on FGs 

     

    Weeks 8-11 he was 6-6 on FGs.

     

    Week 12 he was 2-4 on FGs. 
     

    Weeks 13-17 he was 6-6 on FGs. 


    Two Playoff games 2-5 on FGs. 
     

    Bass was streaky but had plenty of good in 2023.

    How much better are they than Bass? Tucker, McPherson and Bass al missed 5 kicks last year. Sanders missed 4. Bass had the lowest percentage but he was effectively even with McPherson. Most kickers get so few reps these days that a couple more in any direction skews the stats a lot to make you think a guyw as great or terrible. Bass had his worse year since his rookie year with 5 misses for 82.8 percent, coming off back to back 87% seasons where he had 4 misses across 3 and 4 more attempts respectively.

    Things were off for Bass for sure last year, but abandoning a guy for 1 so-so season is bonkers.

    Yeah a lot of people wanted to trade into the top 10 for one of those.

     

    The choice the Bills had was neither of those.

     

    In that range you are talking about probably a 30% hit rate(becoming a good starting WR) so you'd hope they'd have some conviction on one or the other.

    It’s going to be a few years before we know what was a Lamborghini, what was a Subaru WRX , and what was a VW Beetle with a Lamborghini body kit.

    What has been sticking out to me in all the number changes and new guys numbers announced...23 is still unassigned to my knowledge. Now maybe it's nothing but coincidence. Or maybe the number is on hold pending an announcement from Micah Hyde at his charity softball game. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    My money with Hyde is he returns late in the season on the practice squad and they are basically expecting this and doing him a solid.
