Palmer isn’t replacing Cooper, they are completely two different types of WR. Could Palmer conditionally fill the X role, sure, but I would assume that’s not where he will primarily line up. If Shavers has to play any meaningful minutes, our team is in a world of hurt.
The way I see it, we don’t have a traditional X type WR, unless the plan is to put Coleman there. I hope that is not the case…but not many options because the WR room is full of slot and Z’s.
