Perhaps it's simply the competition. We do have a very good group of WR's.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP! -
Sometimes a UDFA has to bounce around a bit to find the right situation.
Jalen Guyton was signed by the Cowboys as a UDFA in 2019 he was in camp all summer and released after camp. The Cowboys were fairly stacked at WR with Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Randall Cobb, Cedrick Wilson and Tavon Austin.
The Chargers on the other hand had a suck-ass WR corps in 2019, with KA & MW at the top and a bunch of failures below them. They had let Tyrell Williams walk and they were counting on Travis Benjamin, who they were already paying good money, to fill that void. Dontrelle Inman, Andre Patton and Geremy Davis were also on the roster. Inman was already over the hill by then; Patton and Davis should never have been on the roster. It was really unfair to Rivers to saddle him with such piss-poor WR talent.
Anyway, the Chargers signed Guyton to the PS in October. In November they signed him to the roster after injuries ended the seasons of Benjamin, Davis and Inman. He stuck; I think they liked his speed; Benjamin and Tyrell Williams had been the speedsters in WR room and both were gone and they needed to replace that.
In training camp 2020 Guyton and Herbert bonded taking 2nd team reps all that summer. Guyton was on the opening day roster in 2020 and when Herbert took over as starter and started throwing long TD passes to Guyton a connection was born. Guyton caught Herbert's first NFL TD pass.
So, it just takes the right situation sometimes for a UDFA to find a home.
Kellen Moore was the OC who cut Guyton from the Cowboys in 2019 btw.Comment

We just added two draftees that are locks on our roster. Last season by game 16 he would have been a starter. This year we are just too deep at the position.Originally posted by chargeroo View PostChiefs won the Superbowl with 10 Rookies....

Maybe popper is right, maybe they are signing him to the PS, or maybe he just forgot his lucky socks in his locker, who knows?Originally posted by Ghost of Quacksaw View Post"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

I think a player like Nick Vannett can be enhanced with a Quarterback like Justin Herbert.
he just makes everyone look great. With our room of receivers he should be open a lot and have opportunities to make plays.Comment

He’s #5 TE and on the PS, I’m not sure why we are talking about him. He’s deep deep vet insurance, i don’t think he’s anything more.Originally posted by Herbert 99 View Post“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”Comment

Doss did impress...but it comes down to: Which of the two is safer on the PS--Doss or Dot?Originally posted by dmac_bolt View Post
we appreciate your expertise, we just wish you were a fan of our team
I didn't get excited - I remembered him from last year, unable to beat out multiple WR's that were elevated to the roster but unable to play NFL football. People here love speed, they worship at the goddess of speed. Nothing wrong with speed, I lived thru the 80s. But Rule 1 is you have to be able to play football.
Doss was by far the best WR in PS that is not on the roster. I thought he'd be on the roster, but Staley & Co went with protecting the ...

I agree. I guess -we’ll never know if Dot was truly a waiver poach risk now. Its also numbers - there are 3 RBs ahead of Dot, 5 WRs ahead of DossOriginally posted by Topcat View Post
Doss and Dot are phonetically close … I’m sensing a Topcat opportunity here. I’ll kick start it, its Friday ,,,
