Wes Welker's 1 TD with the LOLphins says hi.
Agree completely, that's exactly what this signing reminds me of. I also like his size and the fact that he can play outside the hashes. I think he's an upgrade over LaFell and a good signing.

Either way Rex loses. He must be steamed.Heard the first year cap hit is at 5.5 million. Buffalo has 4.5 million cap space, so unless Buffalo decides to cut some people he'll end up here.
Bear in mind, I'm not advocating cutting him immediately. I could only see that being the case if they don't come to terms on a restructure. Especially if there is another FA at a position of need out there that they have their eye on but can't afford right now. I would prefer that he restructures and the team keeps him. That would be a nice redundancy in place (between he and Hogan) that we didn't have in 2015 when Edelman went down.
the only red flag for me is again a OK bills players whos 2 best career games are vs the pats
Im guessing they see him as a guy that fits the system and will excel at the quick passing game we all know and love.IDK about this contract. An average of 4M for year seems like a lot and is just a hair under what Edelman makes, Looking at some vids at him trying to get a feel for him
His positive points are his quickness which while not lightning quick is pretty good and he seems to have good hands and body control for his size. He can play outside a bit but his straight line speed is meh.
Overall a poor man's Edelman. A player I would like to have but I think that we sign him for less than 4M a year. He looks like a 2M a year player to me.
Actually I had to take down a vid i used cause it was just a fan channel i think. However search "wired for sound Chris Hogan" on youtube and you will find it.
Emmanuel Sanders signed his contract two years ago.BRUTAL contract especially when you consider this is pretty much the contract EMMANUEL SANDERS signed. Don't know how Belichick values these guys but I'm expecting Emmanuel Sanders-like production or bust.

(re-posted after screwing up the numbers last time...)
Let's take a guess at the contract structure.
What we know is:
3 years, $12m total
$5.5m cap hit in Year 1
Nicely front-loaded with the Year 1 roster bonus, plus an easy cut in Year 3 due to the minimal dead money from the signing bonus.
(Salary cap-wise, roster bonuses are fully assigned to the year in which they're paid, rather than being pro-rated)
Looks good to me.

To be fair, that is exactly what a bunch of people were saying about Edelman when we had Wes Welker. The difference is that Jules played QB in college and Hogan played lacrosse. He's improved that last couple of years and may finally be "getting it". I don't think the Bills will match.IDK about this contract.

Gaffney.Well, now were just missing the white RB to complete our transformation into the Utah Jazz
So BB is actually going to sign a player with an inflated cap hit in year one.
That player is a WR.
I look forward to the honks continuing to assure us all that WR is not a need position.
The problem with this signing is who is the #2 WR? Amendola or Hogan or Martin? I feel like he added a body but IDK if he fits the bill for a #2. Hope so.
We are likely done in the WR market for FA with this move so i hope he can be a #2 cause I don't trust Amendola or Martin to be.
