Other WR’s Not Named Tate

I think it's Cobb that signs today. One year cheap deal.

Cobb makes the most sense both fit and dollar-wise

Lots of speculation in regards to Tate going to the Giants following the Beckham trade. Makes sense. They have the cap space and obvious need.

Big name WR's don't get traded...yeahhh. Lol. The Bengals are in rebuilding mode. They know they're not competing for a SB this year. I'm sure they'd entertain all offers for Green.

I think so too and the Bengals are a dumpster fire I am sure A.J. Green would love to be out of there. AJ Green is an Elite player seems like perfect WR for the Pats.

I’m not sure he seems like perfect Pats WR. Like him as a player but other than Moss (and the sneak preview of Gordon) not the kind of player that has necessarily flourished. He could be great, or he could be Ochocinco. Not sure what they’d have to pay him would justify taking that leap.

No my first, third or fourth choice but we'll take him.

Could be Ochocinco?? Have you look at Greens numbers he's been very productive with questionable QB play at best.

I mean, if it’s about numbers they’re a lot like Ochocincos used to be. In a more pass inflated era. Lots of WRs have great numbers on bad teams with bad to mediocre QBs. It’s more an issue of style and fit than numbers or even ability.

AJ Green would be a rental as he is only signed for the 2019 season. If the Bengals want to move on, I wouldn't mind giving up a 4th round pick. AB only garnered a 3rd and he is signed for 3 more years.

That being said, Green's salary is still 12m for 2019. If we can sign Tate for less than that... say in the 8m dollar range it would make more sense to go for Tate and not give up any draft picks.

$8Mill would probably be an insult to Tate and I don't see him giving any Team a discount at his age: knowing this will probably be his last contract.

In that case maybe we go through the draft for a WR although we haven't been successful in the draft arena since Edelman 10 years ago. Maybe a trade is in order.

Donte Moncrief still available young guy with some upside decent.

MOST LIKELY - Dorsett
NEXT - Cobb

Would you do a first, a third and Joe Thuney for Julio? Listening to sports radio in Atlanta today and there’s some idle chitchat that he could be available for the right price.

Thuney is a very good player. I don't know if we're willing to pay him as much as Mason, however. I'd be tempted to look into a move like this, if it were really an option, since I trust Scar to bring our OL up to speed. Still, that would mean an entirely new left side compared with last year, and OL continuity is important. Jones is about the only receiver I'd consider in a scenario like this. He's got the right mentality in addition to exceptional physical gifts.

Tate would be a longer commitment though and he's older I believe. Green would be an one year rental...and we would get a comp pick in 2021 that would off-set any draft compensation in 2019.

Additionally, I think AJ Green is far superior to Tate....but that's just me.

You are not alone I also think A.J.Green is worth the one year Rental. Also A.J. Green - Edelman and Gordon and I didn't even mention Gronk is a heck of a Offense.

I hope not on Dorsett!

I would like to see the Patriots sign Rishard Higgins to an offer sheet. He has a 5th round tender on him. Has similar skillset to Gordon.

Yep couldn't agree more Pats have went to RFA route many times they are so quiet this time around. Totally agree about the Gordon comparison you can see that on tape Higgins is very accomplished short intermediate and long.

I know he hasn't lived up to his 1st year performance and there have been some injury issues but how about a guy like Kelvin Benjamin. I'm not sure what he would want but his last contract was about $8.5M I believe with Bills.

His potential would be great just not sure if he's just a JAG at this point. Didn't do much for KC at the end of last year.
