****ing Christ.

These guys are hilarious.

Weapon is a very loose term. Very loose term. The Pats already have multiple guys like Dobbs on the roster.

We went to the SB bowl last year.

Come on, you saw the playoff games right?

The schedule talk was annoying in the media but we can't deny it was partially the the difference between 14 wins and 10/11 wins, we saw the offense against playoff level defenses it was inept and nowhere near good enough at protecting the passer or separating from good coverage.

Solid guy to replace Diggs as a chain moving reliable type still need the true WR1 or we're no better than last year.

The “younger, cheaper” part of Vrabel’s statement is accurate. Let’s see about better. Never had more than 60 receptions and 725 yards in a season although he did score 8 TDs once so his size will help a ton in the red zone.

Don't argue with the dude who won't stfu about how bad hollins is when he's the only guy who showed up.

Howie Roseman disapproves of this signing.

I’d rather have Hollins than this glorified #3 receiver

Albert Breer has a different take on the contract.

What we saw more often than not was receivers getting open but a QB with no time to get them the ball.

This is a pretty solid signing - 4 years, $70M equates to about $17M APY. Pretty decent value for a good WR2 which is what he is. He doesn't solve the WR1 problem, but there were no answers to that problem on the free agent market. He does make the room better brings them a player type that they needed, and should operate well with Maye. He was effectively Green Bay's WR1 last year for much of the season due to injuries and performed well. If Kyle Williams and Kayshon Boutte take a step then the room should be in decent shape, but still in need of one elite player at the top, most likely.

He is a good addition. I don't like him as a #1.

But I still don't think him being signed means they are out of the AJ Brown race. What could happen is Boutte could end up being part of the trade package though.

I think it means we're out of the AJ Brown race for now and needed to be prepared to have enough to go into the draft. I think Brown will be revisited after June 1 and maybe closer to camp.

Great, gotta watch another human condom every game... well, some people have it worse.
I had a feeling, it was like when you don't want to run in the bathroom to hurl, but you can feel that you don't have a choice.

Solid player. Stops the bleeding a bit in the WR room. Hollins was our #1 WR last year in snaps. They already needed a guy like KWilliams to develop to make that not the case this year. And then on top of that they needed to replace Diggs.

Let's see the deal structure, but he's being paid similarly to Wan'dale Robinson, Rashid Shaheed, Jerry Jeudy and Jakobi Meyers which seems proper to me for a WR3/WR2 type guy, which is what he is IMO. I'd expect Boutte to make similar.

I’d rather have Diggs at 26 million than him

I'd rather have a WR who's going to make a difference.

They're both bums.

Or never on Brown.

Never works for me.
