Rumors that Pascal is hitting the market have me pricking my ears up like I normally don't do for a potential UFA
I am irrationally high on Pascal. He's shown that he can be a decent WR3. No one would mistake him for Randy Moss but he's a good piece of a throwing attack. In Indianapolis Pascal has a track record of adapting quickly to new quarterbacks and being one of the first receivers to get chemistry with a new QB. He was easy to throw to and "just got open." Also one of the few WR to develop a good rapport with Jacoby Brissett, who... isn't one of the world's most accurate arms.
I see Pascal as one of those jack of all trade types who can do nothing at an elite level, but does it all fairly well. Decent hands, decent speed, pretty good route running, and has a physical element to his game that I'd class as above average for a WR. I could see Bill and Josh turning him into a bit of a Swiss Army knife and playing in the role we were hoping N'Keal Harry would mature into -- a WR who can both catch passes and block the run at an above average level and play a solid support role in the offense.
Dunno if we'll actually get him but I see him as having a lot of potential in a Patriot style nobody-is-the-star WR. I think he'd be a good fit and if his history is any indication he should get on the same page with Jones fairly quickly and become a useful mid level WR. And since getting rid of N'Keal is an addition by subtraction anyway, replacing him with a fairly balanced player like Pascal could be a large net gain.
