[DaBruinz]

I would have loved to have seen Switzer in a Pats uni.. Oh well.

Could have used him I think.

I'm curious if there's something going on behind the scenes -- he was electric in college, but this is the third team he's been on now. I wonder why he's traded so frequently.

For what?

Because he keeps getting beaten out by other stuffs.

I wonder if he has trouble picking up the playbook. Wouldn’t be the first time a WR struggles going from the college game to the NFL. Hardest position to project?

I'm not ready to say he can do the job.

But Switzer can and you would give up picks?
We have other PR options on the roster. This dude isn’t worth it.

The only picks I would like to give up for a wr if the money works is a mid rounder for golden Tate. Instead of dealing a player like Malcolm Brown for him.

Why would Detroit trade tate?
We can’t afford his cap number.

Who on the roster is a proven NFL PRer not named Edelman?

 

[Froob]

Dez?

We have guys who can do it. It will probably be jones. If not hogan, Chung, McCarron, Dorsett and Patterson have all worked there in camp.
We can get a guy off of cutdowns that will cost nothing.
Switzer is no better than any of those plans.

Idk. Tate’s name is thrown out there because he’s in the last year of his deal and they may want to make Golladay a focal point of the offense.

Tate caught 92 passes last year.(4th straight 90+) he is their best receiver. Golladay is far from a sure thing.
Tate 92 in 789 snaps golladay 28 in 473.
If you are trading him because he is in the last year of his contract why are you trading for a guy in the last year of his contract? Makes no sense.

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

6 catches for 41 yards, and on his third team after one year in the league...Wow the board has reached an all time low.

It does If both teams are dealing from positions of strength to help weaker areas. In this case trading Brown doesn’t make sense for us as we aren’t deep by any means at DT.

For golladay, your right he’s not a sure thing. He did flash at times as a rookie. Maybe Detroit thinks he can take the next step and put up good numbers with the increased snap count while also improving their DL depth.
