2018 Free Agency

[Truth]

Curious to see the numbers if this does happen. A fan of the Brown as a player, but as everyone mentioned, durability has been a major concern. Not much left on the market otherwise with promise though.

Josh McCown not only re-signed with the Jets but was told he was the starter for 2018.

Audition season for big deal in 2019.

These are essentially my sentiments as well. He's actually a pretty good WR when he's healthy.

When is he ever healthy?

 

[Sandtown]

what receivers are even left on the market now?

Jordan Matthews, Terrelle Pryor, Mike Wallace,John Brown, Dontrelle Inman, Ryan Grant, Micheal Floyd, Brice Butler,Eric Decker,

 

[NaturalBornHitters]

John Brown, what a joke

where did you see that he was told he was the starter?

John Brown sounds like another Campanaro.......talented with soft tissue injury problems. Hopefully we get lucky once and he stays healthy

 

[Ice Bowl]

If you're optimistic about the Ravens and you don't view muscles as the goal of life he's rarely going to agree with you.

LOL hahahaha.

The latter mentions are becoming redundant after being in three straight posts. Agreed on all accounts otherwise.

You guys hear the Packers are going to release Jordy Nelson. Please I need to take a break and wipe some tears away at the moment.

there had better be injury clauses on everything except the signing bonus - i dont know what the yearly average should be - its a hard one to predict except for the fact that there shouldnt be much guaranteed money at all

My momma has called quite a bit today

️dam ️More @AdamBMore
@sinjen66 can you provide us with an update? Who has called? What’s your short list? Will you sign with a team that rhymes with “Due Fork Bets?”

I'm a pretty big fan of his explosiveness, reliability, and his ability to make really good adjustments when thrown. He's as well coached as WRs come. If we do actually get lucky and he's healthy... That's a significant upgrade.

If this is a one year deal for not a lot of money.... This could actually work out really well for us. Solid route runner too.

yeah it's official - i thought he was gonna retire but jordy's apparently gonna keep playing too

“Hey Jordy, this is Ozzie.”

Calling it now. Our haul is John Brown and Jordy Nelson.... Then we focus our other efforts in FA elsewhere.

 

[Jacquouille]

Lee and Richardson are both gone....

I'm actually not mad. They were a little overhyped on here. This wouldn't solve our problems.

I am starting to question what our strategy here is

Not care about the overrated and overpaid FA WR and aim for cheaper position in FA while preparing to go all in on the position in the draft? That would be my guess.

Agreed on all accounts. If I'm writing out the contract, it would definitely be incentivized.

id almost rather we got rid of maclin and just went with the dregs at wr

The Dixie Dregs?

I think thats very likely that we give him a 1 year prove it deal or 2 year team option kind of deal. Low risk. High reward. Thats how Ozzie plays his cards
