  1. I mean, honestly, if all it took was a 6th round pick in next year's draft, I would have given the Bears that to have as Josh's backup for a year and then we wouldn't pick up his 5th year option so we could just release him. That's crazy

    Do people even realize Mike Williams averages 44 rec for 686 yards over 7 seasons?  And that is with Phillip Rivers and Justin Herbert as his QB's.  Yet he was getting paid a monstrous contract lol.  

     

    HARD PASS for Mr. IR

     

    Sure, if there wasn't a WR rich draft in front of us.  I would rather those snaps go to the early WR we take because they need the snaps if they are going to be the eventual heir to Diggs.  

     

    So I don't think having a Vet stuck ahead of that WR is good for his development.  

    I would take Mike Williams in a 1 year gamble as well as draft 1 or 2. Signing Mike Williams in a WR rich draft is completely irrelevant if he takes a 1 year cheap deal

    Guy disappears for long stretches while commanding big dollars.  He is always hurt.

     

    Our future WR2 and probable heir to Diggs as WR1 is coming via the draft.  It would be stupid to tie up cap space on someone like Mike Williams that we don't have to spare before heading into one of the deepest and riches WR drafts in the modern era.

     

     

    If he took a one year cheap deal, I think it's worth the gamble

    His deal was 20M AAV and he signed it in 2022.  Even today thats top 15-20 in the NFL.  He is not among the best 15-20 WRs in the NFL.  

     

    They drafted a similar player last year in the first so the writing was probably on the wall then.  

    I'm all for it on a one year deal for cheap if possible

    No thanks. Overrated. Injury prone. Too expensive. 

    He isn't overrated. The dude has tons of talent but can't stay healthy and I don't think it's gonna cost a ton of money for him. There is no way with his injury history he will get a multi year deal that pays him a ton or money. Perfect cheap one year prove it type of guy. I'd do it

    I guess we'll see who's right.

     

    In my observation, when a guy is a former OPOY with multiple pro-bowl and all-pro appearances, he'll have multiple suitors.  And multiple suitors drives up the price.

     

    OBJ was coming off injury and hadn't put up numbers for years - since 2019.  He got vet minimum salary in his deal, true - but he also got $14M signing bonus paid up front, and carries a modest $4-$5M cap hit.  For which he put up modest numbers of 35 receptions for 560 yds.

    OBJ was severely overpaid and shouldn't have been. I actually think with Michael Thomas's injury history that a small 1 year prove it deal may be worth it to show he can at least stay healthy for a season and then cash in next season

    In all seriousness, what is your problem with this signing?  He's been a career STer, he's put up some numbers when he got the chance.  New Jake Kumerow or Trent Sherfield.

     

     

    Generally when a guy's most recent contract was 1 year, $10M and he's got a $2.2M roster bonus already due to him, the answer to that question is gonna be "no".

    FWIW, Spotrac suggests a market value of $9.2M

    The dude literally didn't play for like 3 straight seasons because of injuries and suspensions. I can't see any team putting that number on him. They would be dumb

    30 years old, 7 year vet.  Tall guy, 6'4" 220

     

    Best season, 2022 with LVR and Derek Carr throwing to him, 57 receptions for 690 yds, behind Davonte Adams.

     

    Aside from that year, primarily a STer, with hoped-for potential that never materialized.

     

    4.53 40 time with the comment "he plays faster than his 40 time"

    I remember him having a couple big games with the Raiders and being a big fantasy waiver wire pickup for like one week and then he came back down to Earth

    I think Mike Hunt or Ben Dover would be better values

    Yeah, they may be a little cheaper. Mike Litorus as well. We can probably get them all for pennies on the dollar
