This is an incredibly generous characterization of Jalen Reagor's contributions to the Patriots last year.

Basically vet minimum, which is fine for a guy you're having compete for WR5 and can return kicks (if that ends up mattering anymore). If he gets beat out by a late round rookie or a resurgent JuJu, easy enough to cut.

30% catch ratio ( 7 catches/23 passes) doesn't impress you?

I mean, that was impressive all by itself, even without the 30% catch rate.

I would take a chance on *you* at the vet minimum contributing as much as Jalen Reagor will.

Agreed, he is solid as a kick returner and that’s about it. All I remember from last season as a receiver was dropped passes.

Kick returner only, mind you. He doesn't return punts, where he might actually have some value.

Hell, for 300k guaranteed, I'll give it a shot!

But you haven't seen me run...

Doesn't matter. I trust you to keep your hands next to each other when you're trying to make a catch.

More offset shenanigans. Veteran practice squad minimum is $302,400 for a full season, so that $300k guaranteed only comes into play if he’s not even on a PS at all.

Hard to catch passes that either bounce 10 feet in front of them, or sail 10 feet over their head. This isn’t a special dining by any means, but Reagor looked pretty good in a horrible offense, and he is costing them next to nothing. This is just a depth signing, I’m fine with it.

I really hope they draft and bring in some UDFA WR’s to compete. After they find a QB and LT, they need to burn some picks on weapons. The thought of Reagor making this roster is disheartening.

Yup. I'm still in on Ridley, which would give us Ridley, Bourne, Douglas as a reasonable top 3. Then draft a rookie in the 2nd or 3rd (depending on where you think you need to draft a decent tackle), take another one late on day three or as a UDFA, and let those two plus JuJu, Thornton, and Reagor battle it out for two roster spots. If Reagor wins that battle, a few things have probably gone wrong, but at least he's the floor.

Apparently the market for these receivers isn’t as robust as they assumed, so hopefully they can add a guy like Ridley or Hollywood at a reasonable value.

You do realize that you can find good and bad plays by every player there is, right?

My Mistake, I forgot for a moment who I was responding to.

The most I would give Riidley is 12 AAV, and I’m guessing he will get considerably more than that. But if they can get him for a deal like that I’m fine with it.
