It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Because he has a CLEAR #1 (Adams) and was looking for a more reliable (Meyers) and steady locker-room guy, while, apparently, the Pats were looking for someone who might go higher.Makes you wonder though.
McDaniels could've had Smith-Schuster for the same amount.
Why did he select Jakobi instead?
I am of the opinion that Juju is more dynamic. I am ok with this signing. I don't love it, but don't hate it, either.Interesting contract... just for comparison's sake:
Jakobi Meyers: 60 games, 235 catches (3.92/g), 2758yds (46/g), 8 TDs
JuJu: 79 games, 401 catches (5.08/g), 4788yds (60.6/g), 29 TDs
Both get the same contract. JuJu has some injury problems, but still, surprising that the market would value them the same, especially with JuJu coming off a good season and a ring.
I know, it's fantastic. We paid Meyers money for a player who is significantly better and more explosive than Meyers.Wtf !! Meyers money
I agree, he is a good player but not a #1 receiver. They still have a gap there. If they can get that #1 receiver, Juju as the #2, Bourne and Thornton rotating as the #3 and Henry as the TE is a good crew. Parker can be traded.He's an upgrade over Meyers but his two best seasons were not coincidently when he was the SECOND best receiving option for a team. 2018 on the Steelers when Brown was there and 2022 on the Chiefs with Kelce. That's what he is, a good second guy.
They were reportedly on Hopkins tooWonder who the Chiefs are gonna target. OBJ?
Yeah but... Meyers was "his" and "our" guy.He wanted "his guys", I thought it was pretty obvious.
Bill doesn't need "his guys", he has an established culture. Josh needs to establish the culture in Vegas.Yeah but... Meyers was "his" and "our" guy.
We've had as much experience coaching JuJu as Josh has.
They were reportedly on Hopkins too
I hope Parker is included in that deal.They were reportedly on Hopkins too
Pick #14... Only way it's happeningI just don’t think Juju “moves the needle” with this team. How many veteran #2-3 receivers does a team need? Those resources should go to a dynamic #1.
