Player Signing Romeo Doubs Signs

Half this board would only find it acceptable if the Patriots traded a 5th round pick for Justin Jefferson and The Vikings agreed to take on half his salary.

Also enough with this “overpaying” BS, this team has sat on extra salary cap space for five years

This is the other thing.
It doesn't preclude them going after AJ Brown. Not in the slightest.

What it DOES do is fill the role they needed to fill, and does it well. They can absolutely afford AJ Brown if it comes down to it. There's still plenty of cap room.

I think if we brought Brown in, one of Boutte or Douglas is gone. Both could be gone if Williams can impress during camp.

A WR group of Brown/Doubs/Williams/Hollins would be very effective.

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.

I saw us win 3 playoff games and advance to the SB.

This was basically swapping Diggs for a younger, more explosive, cheaper version. Doubs isn't as good as Diggs has been throughout his career obviously, but he can certainly be as good as Diggs was last year (if he stays healthy). The age difference is notable not only in terms of years 2-4 on the deal but also within the year, it seemed like Diggs wore down by playoff time and his production fell off a cliff.

If we don't make another move at WR/TE, we will definitely need Kyle Williams to step up more and/or Boutte to show he's more than just a deep ball / contested catch guy.

No no. Young players never improve from year 1 to year 2. They're the same player forever.

Why do you keep saying a 3rd option?
He was GBs leading WR last year.
He is a solid #2 and his contract is inline with that.
No one is pretending he’s a number 1.

What do I think he's not a #2 and more like Kendrick Bourne??

I'm fine kicking Douglas to the curb, to be honest. When an actual pro-level team was around him this year, he was pretty useless, save for one catch in the playoffs.
 
Can't wait until next year when all the yaboos whining about not having a #1 come back and whine about not having a #1 despite signing Doubs this year..

For the record, he does nothing for me.. I don't see him as an upgrade to Diggs.. Nor do I see him being worth 17.5M AAV..

Trump put Tariffs on the NFL $20Mill a year Wow! I think Romeo Doubs works well with others: but we don't have that other Top receiver.

I realize you got to overpay to get a WR in this market but for it to be a third option paid like a number 2 who's going to as if this moment be your number 1 is what I'm annoyed with.

This team hasn't had a #1 since Moss, and that was 20 years and 3 super bowls ago.
 
Douglas is the odd man out IMO with this signing. He’s the one that gets moved if there is a trade or he’s not re-signed…one or the other. Doubs, Boutte and Williams are here for the long haul.
 
Ehh. I think it’s a nice recovery. I think it will come out that when they cut Diggs they had a handshake deal in place with someone else
 
DoubleDeluxe said:
#3s don’t have 725 yards and 6 TDs in 16 games. He was 35th in WR receiving yards last year, so please explain how he’s a #3.
You can’t, because he’s not.

By this logic you actually think Boutte is a legitimate number 2 lol.

No. Not good enough.

And without having the best TE ever it really would have been a major problem.

Even still It reared its ugly head more often than not.

Yes. Almost like they're building a young receiving corps to grow along with Drake Maye for the future.
