Free Agent WR's

[Pape]

Bengals WR Tee Higgins has come up more than a few times over the past couple days in the Patriots free agency thread that's currently on-going...

Took a look at the upcoming WR free Agent class... There are actually some good players on the list, much more than I originally thought... just a few names, courtesy of OTC's free agent Tracker

Maybe feign interest in Tee Higgins, drive up his price - let other teams go after him - then target Michael Pittman in Indy... the guy is damn good... I just have some slight doubts about Higgins... Can he perform in the number 1 role? He's always had cover - except for his rookie year - by Jamarr Chase being on the field... Granted I would be elated if we could get him, just have a lingering doubt in my mind... I don't have that doubt in Pittman, who I think is just a fantastic game day performer...

who would be your preferred FA acquisition at WR?

Don't really love that list of names. Higgins is the best of the bunch but the rest of those guys are aging or 2's or 3's.

 

[Triumph]

Darnell Mooney could be a fit.

Tulane product though.

how is Evans only 31

 

[PatsFan2]

I am all in for Higgins with Pittman being the consolation... that said Higgins is a BEAST!

 

[Pape]

how is Evans only 31

just one of those names that always seems to be in the league ala Michael Williams

Good question that's why I want no part of him now. BB the GM would be all over Evans now no thanks.

I think you're right and if Bill is here that Evans is who he would target.

While I think we need to add firepower to our WRs, I do hope we try to keep Bourne as well as getting a legit WR1.

That's why I'm on the bye BB bandwagon.

Get one of Higgins or Pittman and take another shot at receiver in the draft.

I hope whoever is doing the drafting from now on just takes a shot at at least one WR per draft. It's like QBs. They're not always going to hit, but when they do, you're set for a while.

Between Evans, Higgins and Pittman, very good group. Evans is the best, but also most expensive and oldest. Higgins should be 2nd but has never been number 1 on his own team so fair to wonder. Pittman may be the "smart" signing. I think bringing back Bourne would be wise as well if BOB is retained, or maybe even still if not.

I’d take any of these guys for the right price…I’d only splurge on Pittman or Higgins…maybe Ridley

Btw…Is Ridley really 30 years old? For some reason I thought he was much younger than that

 

[patsinthesnow]

Pittman is getting tagged
Higgins is likely getting tagged. I think he'll be traded though
Ridley may be worth the gamble although he was inconsistent this season
Mike Evans is 31 and similar to Hopkins last year. Not sure the value in paying him big money if he has 1-2 years of WR1 ability left

If the pats want to upgrade WR it's either coming via trade or through the draft IMO

Ridley with a December Birthday will be 29 until that exact date.

I think I'd prefer a Trade for someone else.

What's the TE list look like?

pretty deep for free agency... including all three of our tight ends

Hunter Henry, Mike Gesicki, Pharaoh Brown, Dalton Schultz, Gerald Everett, Noah Fant, Austin Hooper, Robert Tonyan, Irv Smith Jr.

Schultz is a lot younger than Henry is that's any consolation.

Higgins is a question since he had so many drops and he's clearly a jump ball type.

Don't want Evans or Chark, that's for sure.

Pittman should be the target, but again he's strictly a possession slot guy.

Ridley is interesting, maybe as a cheaper version of Higgins.

Good WRs in trades have been fetching #1 picks lately.
