Umm no. Phelan went out of the NFL years before because of a knee injury:)

Fair enough. I just dont know enough about his game. Looks like he was good at coming down with what Allen threw at him - but maybe it wont translate in today's NFL.

He was good at contested catches agaisnt inferior cornerbacks in the MWC

 

its really hard to translate that to the NFL... if he Was a FA I would consider him for a futures deal

 

he is like Brandon Reilly with better hands... but slower

Poor kid is driving for Uber in Firebaugh. All that talent wasted. WTH is Beane doing?

I don't think Sam Darnold plays WR.  But you never know!

Since all our eggs are in the Josh Allen basket, wouldnt Gentry have made the transition easier? 

 

I don't see why that would be true. It's the same logic as people who said Marrone should draft Nassib because he and Hackett were already familiar with him and he "knew the system."

 

Maybe Allen and Gentry were a good combo in college, but they'll be facing NFL-caliber DBs, so it's unlikely that a first round QB will really get help from an undrafted WR.

He probably played catch with his brother.  Surely, we could find a spot on the roster for him.

Yeah let’s sign Gentry who hasn’t done **** in the league, and forget all about how we signed Beasley.

 

The draft needs to hurry the hell up. This place has gone mad. 

I am not talking post March 13 2019 dude. I am happy with the WRs we got in free agency. Just was wondering why we did  not give Gentry a shot last season. We did not have Beasley or Brown and Foster had not emerged yet.

There are reasons he wasn't drafted.  This is the NFL not Wyoming School of Mines, for one.

If not being drafted was the sole criterion, we wouldnt be excited about Foster, right?

Remember, it is not like this guy is horrible. He is NFL caliber. As I said in my op, he was on a playoff team's active roster. And was resigned again this year by the same team with a more lucrative contract than what we gave Duke Williams.

Most likely because he had his college success against Mountain West competition.  Let's let him prove he can play in the NFL before we name him Allen's go to receiver.

What's the harm in bringing Gentry in and giving him a try out?  You never know.  If it works out, great.  If not, no big deal.
