I prefer Brown but Pierce is a fine fall back. Just because I prefer one option doesn’t mean I would reject the backup plan. It’s more risky but he’s also a clear upgrade. The only WR I said I didn’t want was Doubs.
Eh I’m not reading all this. Congratulations or I’m sorry.
I think Kraft lays out basic rules on spending - something along the lines of "spend X amount relative to the cap; if you go over that in a year, make up the difference over the next 1-2 years." Beyond that, there's his general preference against signing players with very clear domestic abuse issues. Otherwise I don't think Kraft is very involved at all and lets Vrabel and Wolf do what need to be done.
That's like 130-140 words dude lol what could it take, 20 seconds to read?
I imagine it's less cap and more the cash spending that Kraft sets a limit on. And that's not to say he's cheap, but it's impossible to run a business and not base it on cash in and out.
My crashout's going to be pretty bad if he does. Paying #1 WR money to a guy who had 47 catches last year is just Donald Hayes territory. I'm all set.
True. I’m just looking at it as when Maye/Gonzo start taking up a ton of cap that’s when you really focus on cycling out vets for youth. I don’t have faith that Maye is going to play ball like Brady did. So if I had the option of Brown for two years or Pierce for two years I’d take Brown. I can’t see them being able to pay either once Maye’s extension kicks in.
I mean…he isn’t Donald Hayes. I get what you’re saying but he’s a good WR that had Daniel Jones and Philip Rivers throwing to him. Maye throws a great deep ball, he’s a deep ball threat. Makes sense to me.
Even if he's a 'good' WR, he's not Justin Jefferson. He shouldn't command anything in that neighborhood, he's not that receiver. Imagine paying him 28 mil a year and he goes 3 games without a catch.
He’s not Brown or Jefferson but you can’t deny he’d be an upgrade over what the Pats currently have. I agree, not worth 30 million but I’m also not going to be pissed if they upgrade a position. Especially taking into account that they’ll have to deal with the reality soon of Boutte getting a new deal or a trade somewhere.
Is he an upgrade over Diggs? Who you just cut for less money?
They don’t though. This is like the claims last year to not sign Diggs because Pop was Diggs at home. They do lack a deep threat. Pierce is better than Boutte by a mile. But obviously you go with Brown over him.
