It won’t happen if owners stay united.

I suspect there will be a lot of scrutiny on who went rogue this year with the 2nd round guarantees and collective preemptive pressure applied to make sure it doesn’t happen in the third round next year.

I don't see how it can be avoided (sooner or later). There's always going to be a club / owner who will do something stupid . . . . . . . . . And as has been mentioned by others this will be a focal point / contention when it's time for a new CBA. . . . . . . . . . we better get our football 'fix' before then, cause I'm betting on a work stoppage with the next CBA negotiation.

Sanjay Lal was Amari Cooper's WR coach in Dallas. Something maybe worth mentioning

Cooper was horrible last year. I posted his stats yesterday.

That was true. Didn't have a good year with the Bills

Who knows - maybe Joe just rolls with the young guys and see what they have in training camp before signing anybody

I used to like NFL football, A lot. Having to listen to mega millionaires whine about "he got more than me!" makes me nauseated.

I know, but he is a veteran out there, who is the same age 30, as Williams was, with a better career, and a Lal guy so I mentioned him. The unsigned guys out there are basically Cooper, Allen, Gabe Davis.

I would 100% sign Allen over Cooper, if he wants a seasoned vet presence in the room.

Allen brings the off field excitement and locker room morale boost.
On-field chemistry.
if the dollars make sense, Allen is the best veteran signing available.
assuming none of the UDFAs make a huge splash.

I'm kind of in the mid-ground on this idea, not opposed but not jumping up and down for it. I 100% agree with your thinking here though - we have a young and comparatively immature WR room now, nothing but newbies, Allen brings a strong confidence and swagger that I think would help them all.

or maybe not, idunno - didn't help Q too much his rookie year lol ...

[dmac_bolt]

that is one pretty throw ...

CanadianBolt mentions an interesting MW replacement, Gabe Davis. Great size, 6’2” 225. Career 16+ ypc. Only 26. Shouldn’t cost much.

Solid and healthy his first 4 years. Then goes to the Jags and is a bust. They cut him even though they are obligated to pay him for this season. The Bolts are hoping one of the 2 wideouts drafted step up to WR2. QJ or the other draftee is WR3-4. Davis slots into that area of WR4. He’s not coming here with an inflated ego that’s he’s WR1. Unlike Allen or Cooper. Hard pass on both.

Don’t know his background as to being a problem with the Bills or Jags. Maybe other posters are more familiar with him.

Nice! That's the stuff i want to hear! Not about old mid 30s legs.

Give me youth and 4.3 !
