26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 SCHEIN NINE 9 Riskiest Free Agents The three Vikings quarterbacks set to hit the open market headline Adam Schein's list of the nine riskiest free agents of the 2018 offseason.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 ..interesting....most are injury or character related issues with the exception of Keenum.....but if he makes the list as a potential "one hit wonder", shouldn't McCarron be on the list due to his extensive (COUGH) body of work?..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'd put Sammy Watkins over Jordan Matthews. I don't think any team will pay Matthews #1 WR money but some team will vastly over pay for Watkins thinking he's a #1 and maybe he'll turn out to be but right now he's been a huge disappointment as the #4 overall pick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Billieve Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I don't think he understands risk. Riskiest free agent is obviously Cousins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I agree with this....when the guy is healthy - ya I know - when he is healthy he is a #1 easy.....he attracts attention for a reason - not saying he is Randy Moss or Andre Reed or Jame Lofton or anything = but he gets his yards and he gets respect......not from us but from his peers - seriously - who matters more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the risk issue is connected to the size contract those players are expected to get. I doubt Ivory's contract is big enough to suggest he's a significant risk.

I doubt Ivory's contract is big enough to suggest he's a significant risk. I'm not sure the guy who wrote the list understands that either. maybe he should have titled it players with the most upside or something. I don't think many of those players will actually get a contract that could do much damage to the teams ability to be competitive in the future except for maybe Case Keenum.

He was healthy last season and he was just a good player, I don't think he'll ever be elite unless he goes to NE, the Packers or Pittsburgh imo. The tools are all there, not sure whats wrong with him, maybe he's too much of a diva? Not sure but something seems off because he has the hands, speed etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I would love to have Eifert if he is healthy again. Injuries have derailed him, but he is extremely talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's never healthy. Sammy's been consistently a guy whose going to catch 50 or so balls and have 6 or 7 TDs. He's not reliable to be a #1. He's therefore pretty scary to me based on the bucks he wants. I'd give him 7-8 million per year. I'm really curious about Matthews. I can't see any reason he'd get money anywhere near Woods money, but seeing as what Goodwin just fleeced the 9ers for, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was healthy last year and didn't get his yards. He was largely a decoy while "less talented" guys got more targets and better production. People like to say he drew coverage to him, but big deal. That's what a #1 WR needs to do, and he STILL needs to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
