Player Signing Romeo Doubs Signs

[varjao]

If Maye really does have that x factor to elevate jag receivers to look good, when working with better talent he should be able to put that receiver in position to succeed as well and use every bit of what that guy can offer, so I am not complaining about this signing. Our WR is better than yesterday and there is a possibility it works as well as with Diggs.

Again, the WR#1 if that's the piece that will move the neddle, it is still missing.

I still hate giving up on Boutte. But this move makes it one I could live with, even if I'm still occasionally angry about it.

AJ
Dobbs
Hollins
K Williams
Douglas
another low priced veteran who might work well with Drake for cheap non guaranteed
draft a guy day 3
chism
and the rest who some might be ok

That's a pretty good unit. Draft a TE early, and sign some blocking one.

I think it's crazy to cut Henry.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Agent 89 approved of Doubs.

 

[TommyD4207]

He was the best available WR not named AJ Brown.
Brian Thomas Jr. was apparently never available.

You could argue Steph Diggs.

But careful making factual statements. The Cult has their pitchforks out.

Here’s a great pic of Romeo Doubs being wide open and calling for the ball.

 

[Toofy]

Now why do I need a wr1 when I have 2 real good wr 2 and semi decent options in wr3 and 4 and not to underestimate two fantastic running backs and the very fact that my QB has legs which amounts to something .

If he can win 50% of his contested catches that's all we need. If teams don't double up doubs and Boutte or sit in a zone and we kill em that's more than sufficient .

Pop is the misfit here. The moment we get a slot who can sit in zones which I hope Chism can slot into, this offense will be cooking . Till then there is going to be too many questions.

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

He's a number 3 is why I keep saying it.

#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.

 

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

Here’s a great pic of Romeo Doubs being wide open and calling for the ball.

All I took from that is he's wide open. That's good enough for me.

 

[gobesmug]

We could clone Randy Moss and make him work for free and some people would still complain.

Should have cloned Troy Brown instead

 

[Lagaffe_07]

It's an excellent signing. Look what people are getting. You don't want him as #1, but they're not done. Guys become available, and now they aren't desperate.




2/6/Boutte for Brown.

It’s a good signing if there is another piece coming otherwise it’s another JAG in a room full of other JAGs

 

[uknepatsfan]

I agree with those that said this spells the end of Boutte after this season.

Steve Smith believes he can be a WR1

When Steve Smith snr talks about WRs, smart people listen.

 

[stephens44]

So we signed Romeo (Reche Caldwell) Doubs for 20 mil a year? Does that mean we get Randy Moss back in 2 years?

 

[Family]

If we have to choose between going big on Brown or another WR1,
vs. filling the holes at TE...

I'm thinking TE is more pressing

I think you get the TE high up in the draft.

It's much easier to find one at the end of the first round vs WR.

Doubs has shown potential when he ran circles around Gilmore in the 2023 Wild Card game. That was a game I thought it was his coming out party. Problem is that he shows flashes, but disappears putting up mediocre numbers since. There were plenty of **** talking on this board regarding GB's WR's, but now all of the sudden it's cool because one of them signed with NE. Funny how that works.

With that said, this is a massive overpay and I dread the guardian cap.

Please explain why the guardian cap bothers you? If they all wore them would it still bother you?

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Bang on the guy for anything else, but it's silly to bang on him for wearing the Guardian cap, assuming that by now the league has some numbers on it showing a benefit.

 

[cupofjoe1962]

I like Doubs as a #2 receiver, but we still need a true #1

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

Why?

Money. They’re going to have to make some moves to fit the 28 million under the cap for Brown.

 

[TommyD4207]

Money. They’re going to have to make some moves to fit the 28 million under the cap for Brown.

Not really.

********

coming off acl surgery, in his 30's, Diggs was far and away better than the best year of Doubs career... The talent level between the two is vast...

Don't tell that to Tommy Troubles.

 

[jal]

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.
