We know what the top 5 makes. Based on what? - 18th in TE receptions - 15th in TE yards - 22nd in TE yards per reception Only stat he is one of the best is tight end TD's. "the only stat" 😂 Like that one matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elroy16 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Lost in the, "Now Poyer/Edmunds/Oliver" can't sign talk is how much cap space Beane can clear by restructuring contracts. It's one of the things he does really well and so far hasn't had to do a lot of. It sounds like a lot of money for Knox but he's in his prime and still has room to grow.

Einstein Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Just now, What a Tuel said: "the only stat" 😂 Like that one matters. Of course it matters. I listed it for a reason.

Oh you got me good man 😂. If you looked, at the time I was typing that post, literally every single comment before was glowingly positive of the extension. I was obviously referring to the board at that time, not the general population. Knox is not, by any standard, a top 5 TE. That is a delusional take colored by red and blue lens. Don't get me wrong, we all wear em, but take them off for second. He is due for a touchdown regression and by any other measure (especially when you account for blocking) he is not an elite player. Hope he takes some big steps forward and becomes an elite all around TE, but that's a reach to say currently. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge part of the tight end game. tight ends are the hardest to find. They literally do everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I bet Poyer is thrilled to hear about this. Not that the BIlls are doing anything wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people here only care about "led the league in TD's". He is still ascending though, similar to Njoku, who would you rather have?

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 The extension should allow Mr. Knox to buy a famous relative to bandy about, just like Nick O'Leary was always doing with his Uncle Jack Nicholson! * 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he can clear cap space, doesn’t mean everyone will be re-signed/extended. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did you say Kelce is a better blocker up thread? If thats your thoughts then I dont think you have credibility. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's good Beane got it done now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was kind of a side note in your post as if it didn't. Also it won't be top 5 money for long as the other tight ends get paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
