Not sure how we make sense for Streater now, unless DA goes he'd be behind Gronk, Edelman, Amendola, at best. I would like to get him but I'd look elsewhere if I were him.

According to rotoworld...

The Browns and Niners have agreed in principle to a trade for kaepernick. Browns are working with kaep for a paycut to greenlight the trade.

Browns want Kaepernick to take pay cut
Colin Kaepernick | SF
(March 12, 2016 8:27 AM EST)
The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot reports the Browns are willing to trade a third-round pick for Colin Kaepernick, but they want the quarterback to restructure his deal.
NFL Network's Mike Silver reported Friday the 49ers and Browns "are in general agreement" about trade compensation, but the talks between Cleveland and Kaepernick's reps have not progressed far enough to "green-light" the trade. Kaepernick reportedly wants to play for Browns coach Hue Jackson, and it appears he can get his wish by agreeing to a pay cut. As one of the likeliest landing spots for the top quarterbacks in the draft, Cleveland acquiring Kaepernick would have significant ramifications at the top of the first round.

I know this is sort of anecdotal but I thought WRs in particular were supposed to be a little more arrogant, have a little more swag behind them. I suppose a dose of pragmatism isn't the worst quality to have, but I would hope these guys are coming in thinking "I'm gonna ball like Randy Moss did here, this is a great opportunity to play with the GOAT in a passing offense that racks up almost 5k yards every year" as opposed to "**** I hope I can beat a few of these white dudes out and and make the team." I suppose I'm speaking more to the Matthews situation that he was looking for a place he felt he'd have more opportunity than your example of a fan or the coaches analyzing a guy.

 

[Ross12]

I'd welcome either Long or Laurinitis for sure. Or hell, both.

If Hicks and his sorry ass 27 percent of the defensive reps last year command a 7m dollar AAV pact, I'm going to have a kid solely for the purpose of grooming him 24/7 to be a big fat ass who can tackle.

I'm talking no schooling, no playtime--just 16 hours a day of training, which will mainly include eating and swatting at a tackling dummy.

I still think Hicks is worth 1/2 that, at best. If another team wants to give him more than 3.5m a year, more power to them.

Thats exactly how the team looks at these things. Paying $7m for a player who is on the field for 95% of the snaps makes sense. Paying the same for 25% does not. With that said once Easy went down Hicks was seeing ~45-50% of the snaps in December and in the playoffs

Same for WRs. People are barfing on their shoes over what Hogan got. IMO they are clearly projecting Hogan as a WR2 95% of the snaps player which (in theory) will project to approx 70/900/6 in this offense.

Same for RBs. 50% of the snaps arent going to get $4m here.

Well if his teams are Pats, jests and chefs and the money was equal I think Pats make as much sense as the other two..

jests you got Marshall, Decker and Devin Smith
chefs while he'd probably get more opportunities because it's really only Maclin and Kelce that's a bottom 5 passing offense.

I don't care. If Bill's not signing Streater, I'm just not sure I can root for this team anymore.

 

[Love The Drake]

its not over im sure communication is open.

If he cares more about money then Im sure we dont want him here

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

I just want Laurinitis to sign so bad. The nicknames for our linebacking group would be awesome...
Leigon of Doom
The Road Warriors
What a Rush...

Might have to be my next Jersey.

Streater would have a great chance to start over Conley/Wilson/etc in KC. NE ? Not so much.

Yeah, but at least New England is a heavily passing-based offense. KC is run run run run run pass run run.

I don't get the impression that Streater wants to be here. If he did, he would've signed w/ the Pats by now. But at this point, he's still shopping around. And that's fine with me, because I'd rather have a restructured Amendola and sign a FA running back.

He would have as much chance to come into NE and win the X WR spot for a top 5 passing offense in camp as he does going to KC and getting the spot as the #2 WR for a bottom 5 passing offense.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Pats knew it which is why the Kearse signing occurred.

Or he is making visits to all the teams interested and will make a decision on which place he likes best..

either one but neither will join.
they don't want to win..
