So? He’s experienced depth. People here wanted OBJ and DJ Chark as our experienced depth. Completely unrealistic. People are talking about this guy like he’s not an upgrade over Trent Sherfield.

He’s very good at getting behind the defense.

He also has made big plays in the playoffs.

Probably why Beane wants him. Playoffs.

And he leads the league in depth of target. Davis was also near the top. More difficult targets.

He was the Chiefs starter outside for most of his time there. They replaced him with Hollywood Brown. That’s a significant upgrade. He’d be coming here as a depth player and insurance for our young WRs. There’s a big difference. And he made plays for the Chiefs to win in the playoffs. Let’s say he replaces Trent Sherfield. Is that not an upgrade?

Yeah this wouldn’t change much of anything.

You can’t figure that out? The ball is harder to complete the deeper the depth of target. Curtis Samuel caught 68%, but his average target depth is 6 yards.

Depth of target matters IMO. He’s always near the top. He basically averages 17-18 yards depth of target. Gabe Davis is also usually pretty high. This guy is a pure deep threat. That’s all.

There was a time I called Gabe Davis our Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

He’s competing for 4th WR here and gives some veteran insurance for Coleman. He’s exactly the type of WR you sign that won’t block a young player from snaps, but can fill in if the young player can’t handle it.

He caught the ball and Diggs didn’t.

The % does seem to go up slightly every year for QBs. I wonder when it stops? Maybe it stopped with Allen’s deal? He got 24% and Burrow got 24% 2 years later. No one has topped that yet.

There’s always shock value every year because worse players get paid more than the top players. But it’s always based on cap %. Burrow got 24%. Goff got 21%. When Mahomes signed his $45 million AAV deal he got 23%. So Burrow did get a little more. When Allen signed his deal he got 24%, but the cap was low due to covid. Allen would’ve got more. If Allen signed a deal today he probably gets $61 million AAV.

Yeah I’ve been seeing people celebrating Josh’s contract. He’s going to get more than everyone. Probably over $60 million when it’s all done.

The cap is going up like crazy so contracts are going up. Cap is projected to jump again. Elite QBs will get about 20% of the cap.

Will this get us calls vs KC?

I’m not joking. Tough schedule, roster in transition. 7-10 season. Future Buffalo Bill Tetairoa McMillan.

I never hated it because he’s our future WR2, not WR1. Our future WR1 isn’t on the roster yet. He’ll be drafted in the top 10 next year.

It’s hard to project because the offense will be different. Brady was playing him around 45% last year.

I think he’ll be a backup TE and play around 40 % of the snaps.

Why don’t you like him?

That NC State DL also had Mario Williams and Manny Lawson. All 3 played for Buffalo. Im pretty good with knowing former Bills players. I honestly can’t remember Manny Lawson playing for the Bills.

Yes it was sarcasm. I like Carter. I said a few days ago I wanted to hate the pick because of who we passed on but I can’t. He looks solid to me. I think he might impact as a rookie.

They can restructure more.
