It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Agreed on Meyers especially simce ot wasn’t a huge gap in $$.100% agree - I absolutely hated the Parker extension ... haven't been a fan of him since he got here. On the Groh situation, that's a tough one, albeit Bill seemed to deflect blame there last year, which was interesting when it came to Smith-Schuster. But I'd be surprised if he's on the team and I'd be even more surprised if he doesn't retire, at least based on what we saw last year. Just unfortunate it worked out the way it did. Definitely disappointed Meyers isn't here...still bummed about that.
Don't forget, he also was a staunch defender of Mac and was critical of Patricia. Guessing that also didn't help his cause. Agree with you on the medicals. Not sure what the process was, but clearly, it didn't work out. Someone else ended up in a similar situation if I recall and ended up failing a physical...the name escapes me, I believe it was the free-agent RB out of JAX...?Agreed on Meyers especially simce ot wasn’t a huge gap in $$.
Felt like a classic Bill move “I’m offended u didn’t take what I offered so pound sand”.
Real question should be “who looked at his medicals and signed off?”
His time diminished some with the addition of Addison but not much.Nice depth
Probably in Min he was so closed from Jefferson plus Addison
Good person too
He saved also a man involved in burning car
How can he remind you of Dorsett? Dorsett could run 1 route effectively.Reminds me of Dorsett...we'll see.
Love the Pressure that's going to put on him. That means he's going need to have a world beater off season and TC. Hey Stranger things have happened need to see if he can live up to his overdrafted selection.Looks like Thornton is getting cut. They might just hold onto juju as injury insurance .
Bourne
Douglas
Osborne
Rookie 1
Rookie 2/ Juju
Special team returner ( reagor/ Juju/Boutte/ thornton)
My money is on Bourne, Douglas, Osborne, Rookie 1 , Rookie2 and Reagor.
I wouldn’t *bet* on Boutte being around too long post draft…1. Brian Thomas late round 1 after trade back
2. Douglas
3. Osborn
4. Bourne recovering from injury
5. Day 3 rookie/Boutte
Fixed it for you.
I think we are only getting Brian Thomas Jr if we Trade down from # 3. He looks really good not gonna lie.1. Brian Thomas late round 1 after trade back

I think this list is pretty close, though I think Tyquan is going to show up stronger/more confident, and will make the team instead of Rookie 2/JuJu.Looks like Thornton is getting cut. They might just hold onto juju as injury insurance .

Cousins, Sorry, just oatmeal and fruit for breakfast this AM. Not exciting.I think this list is pretty close, though I think Tyquan is going to show up stronger/more confident, and will make the team instead of Rookie 2/JuJu.
Cousin Toofy, We might can mitigate that Thornton bad pick with a bad pick the Saints did the same Draft. LT Trevor Penning was an amazing athlete (mean and under 5.0 40) at 6'7" and 325lbs at a small school and Drafted #19 by the Saints. After looking good in pre season he had an injury , now recovered he is still on a downward spiral.Looks like Thornton is getting cut. They might just hold onto juju as injury insurance .

I don't think he's a JAG at all. We just actually released one of these. He catches everything, he's got elite speed on the outside. Runs great routes, just a complete WR. He's been steady for Minnesota. Nice pick up for us. People have to remember this won't be Mac nor Zapp throwing to him or, to the other team attempting to throw to KJ.I hear you, but I would have to say he's an above average JAG. He's not Calvin Ridley, but he's the type of guy who can get open, catch the ball, and move the sticks, something they had trouble with all last season.
At least Osborn had two red zone touchdowns last year. DeVante Parker didn't have one red zone target all season - which is a mind-blowing stat given his extension and the state they were in last year.
His FLOOR seems to me to be solid NFL professional WR, which is a step up. We'll see if he can be more, but it's an upgrade to the room in any event.I don't think he's a JAG at all.

With some "competent " QB play in a QB and WR offense that AVP runs I think he could thrive.
