hope he stays, but if he doesn't, we always got harry

 

[Zuma]

If no Berrios...then I hope Gunner returns (pun intended)

 

[ctpatsfan77]

They should sign him to a deal for something like 3/$4.5M, especially if Bolden leaves.

yeah, he re-signed with the jete

 

[Toofy]

Gunner will prolly get a base level deal of 3 years / 5 with 2.25 guaranteed or something like that .

 

[captain stone]

Glad he wasn’t tendered, and hope he’s gone for good… Dude showed No progress as a WR, and what ****ing good is a PR-only when your shyte defense doesn’t force any punts?

 

[Ivan]

Hope he doesn’t leave, great ST player, I was surprised when he didn’t turn a better receiver. I thought he was going to become a good slot receiver.

FWIW, all of Brady's slot receivers—Brady, Welker, Edelman, Amendola—needed several years before they "blossomed."

The strange thing is that reports had Olszewski as the second-best receiver in camp in 2020. .Admittedly, that's a pretty low bar, but then he went on IR the first three weeks, and they seemed to ignore him at WR after that.

 

[Ollie]

i think he is pretty easily replacable

Yep, hope they bring him back.

Honestly, Gunner has shown NOTHING in regular season as a WR…..he is a decent return man….decent……but no one is going to go nuts over the guy cash wise….and most likely he will be back with Patriots

 

[Toofy]

Vet minimum. Nothing more than it.

Harry has been great in camp.

 

[Mack Herron]

Gunner to Steelers. $4 mil/2 yrs

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

No big deal in my opinion. He just didn’t develop beyond the PR role. Really hoped he could be the next in line of Welker, Amendola and Edelman, but it didn’t happen.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Edelman didn't become relevant in the passing game until year 5.
Yes, Year Five.
Look it up.

He may be back, but not at a tender offer #.

The problem with using Edelman as context in all decisions regarding receivers is we won't let any go till year 6 based on similar principals. There was clearly a reason we stuck with Julian and similar for letting Gunner go.

 

[Zuma]

Edelman didn't become relevant in the passing game until year 5.

Edelman was behind some guy named Welker which kept him from seeing signicant playing time.

I agree with both of you. Edelman was better than I remembered playing in spot duty, but he wasn’t going to unseat Welker. However, remember the bizarre 2012 opener when they tried featuring Edelman?
