You do want to pay Ridley or Tee or Nico (or one of these other receivers) … but not Jefferson? Spoiler I’m not paying any of these receivers BUT Jefferson. “But Jefferson will require picks AND a new contract.” … Ok and? Would it be any “worse” than when you traded what turned to be the 3rd overall/26th pick/36th pick for Tunsil (and then paid him)? … “But that’s different. That’s a franchise LT. You don’t pay receivers.” … You don’t pay receivers but some are/were ready to splurge for Ridley/Higgins/Nico. (Let’s just say minimum of $20M) Draft is loaded with receivers but you want to go spend a majority of the remaining cap space on one of these guys? Nah, I’m good. Go draft Brian Thomas or Adonai Mitchell at 23. Or one of those other guys at 59. Harrison. Odunze. Nabers. Thomas. Mitchell. Worthy. McConkey. Coleman. Corley. Franklin. Pearsall. Legette. Roman Wilson. Tez Walker. Polk. McMillan. Cowing. Burton. McCaffrey. Rice.
Nico: various nagging injuries Noah: various nagging injuries Tank: 1 freak injury, 1 not so freak Woods: various nagging injuries I don't understand why some of yall say "WR is fine" We absolutely need at least 1 more guy, depth is good.
We spent almost all of it. We just didn't spend foolishly. And foolish spending is the attraction for those who want to be paid more than they are worth to wise buyers.
This can't be emphasized enough. For players that are disappointed in the offers they are getting, DeMeco has a reputation and hard numbers to show he will get defensive players paid on their next contract if they take a short term deal with Houston.
Reading the tea leaves of this, I’d say it’s looking like the Bills may be getting Armstead and the Texans have to “Settle.”
