Games played do not equal healthy, I thought every football fan knew that. Go watch the tape and tell me I'm wrong. The guy cannot separate to save his life anymore.

Sure. I'm willing to at least play "what if" with that, and he would be our 3rd or 4th target. So IF it happens let's see what we give up. If it's one of our top 3 picks or an impact player, for Ertz's lack of health and sizeable contract, count me as not a fan. If it's, say, our 6th rd. pick and Ertz will restructure, then by all means let's roll the dice. I just don't think 2019 Ertz is walking through that door anymore.

Age is extremely relative. Kelce's a better athlete, in better shape and very clearly has a much cleaner injury history. Go watch the tape from Ertz this year and the last few games of the prior year, the guy moves like a barkalounger now.

That was 2 years ago and he was the only one to see targets. Ertz is not a top 5 TE.

Top 5 by what metric? TEs named "Zach"? TEs from Stanford? Slowest 40? Highest $ paid per play? Sorry but Zach Ertz is a far cry from a top 5 TE anymore...

Always are -- will be exacerbated in this cap environment. Teams holding now should really get some great deals down the line...

I'd say 0% chance he's even there @62... maybe not even at 30, Eskridge's stock is climbing quickly and in a draft where nobody at the position (aside from the obvious ones at the very top) have differentiated themselves, he could easily go in the back half of the first if the right team falls in love.

They used the tag on Robinson. I don't know the particulars of how their contracts would/wouldn't fit, I'm just a fan dreaming over here. That said, starting Andy Dalton in what is very clearly a must-win year is negligent at best...

Call me crazy... But this has me thinking we might want to hold our cap space -- and maybe even make moves in the draft (trading back for future draft capital) -- to be a player for Allen Robinson and/or Khalil Mack at the trade deadline.

The delta in cost actually has me leaning towards Patterson... Intriguing idea that hasn't been beaten to death yet, if nothing else.

I mean, sure, if you're signing to a camp tryout to see if somehow everything clicks, then yeah, you always bring in a guy like that if there's literally zero risk. But this is FA day 2 and the suggestion is that he'd be replacing our WR2 so those two aren't exactly apples to apples. If, after we sign higher priority FAs, and fill other holes through the draft he's still around and we're really signing him for "next to nothing", I'd be all in, but that wasn't really the suggestion... "Speed" is great, and sure it's interesting to think about him running as fast as he can in a straight line while Allen throws the ball 80 yards downfield, but that's not really realistic football. That -- and injuries -- are why Ross has never amounted to anything in the league. I'd personally rather take a chance on a guy like Perriman in FA or Ihmir Smith-Marsette as an UDFA.

Also brings you Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Jimmy Graham, Darren Waller, Antonio Gates (undrafted), Dallas Goedirt... Just because WE haven't hit on a mid-rd TE, doesn't mean it doesn't happen...

While I would LOVE PP, Brown's tweet is misleading, relative to the title of this post. He's simply narrowing down Peterson's teams and saying that Buffalo, by virtue of being a playoff team is on the list of *possible* teams for Peterson. Nothing saying we're ACTUALLY connected to him.

No thanks. If he was going to be a thing, it would've happened by now.

Count me among what appears to be the minority in not being interested in Hunter if it's going to cost our 1st rd pick. 2 or 3? Sure, let's do it, but a 1 is too rich in my book...

Not interested for the $ he'll get, low ROI candidate IMO

Yep, a 1-year deal is not a big investment. If he hits in that system/with that staff you can lock him up and you've found a piece. If he doesn't, you can move on. He's got plenty of athletic potential to make it work out...

I don't feel like Mukuamu's getting talked about enough and Trill and Joseph both feel like their best FB is still ahead of them. I personally think Wade is a pretty decent fit @ corner for us too...

So a guy leaves the most explosive offense in NFL history, joins a MUCH more conservative offense splitting time with the most talented RB in the NFL and the change of his averages is a reflection on ONLY his talent alone? This seems more than a little short sided.

Worth mentioning with the Roberts news, Hunt is/was no slouch returning kicks. Not that I think that's how we'd use him, I think he'd become the defacto bellcow RB with Moss maybe getting 8-10 touches, but worth noting... Still doubting this happens.

If the 2's in play, I think we also look at swapping picks in the first. Not trying to get greedy, but that feels like solid value for all... Browns move back 4 spots in the 1st, move a disgruntled TE and get value for their backup RB. Bills move up in the first, address 2 positional needs while taking on some risk... EDIT: it's not a massive jump up, but I think 26 puts both Phillips and Ossai in play, and those two have GOT to be priorities for us...

We've been connected to both of them in the past and our FO is friendly with Schneider in Seattle, so certainly not impossible...

When I say game-changing, I'm talking like Devin Hester -- can score anytime he touches the ball game changing. No question Roberts gave us good FP a lot and was certainly reliable and trustworthy back there, but he's far from the only one who can offer that sort of safety net.

Hadn't seen this posted anywhere. At the right price I'd love Dunlop and Rhodes.

KR shouldn't be too hard to upgrade, he was good for us but I'm not sure he was game-changing good. Rather the dollars and attention be spread elsewhere.
