I guarantee Trey Palmer won't have 59 catches & 800+ yards. @Grahamburn knows it too but he's too afraid to say so.
I’m trembling with fear. Nobody said Trey Palmer would have 800 yards.

I do think he’ll be on par with anything Josh Reynolds will/would produce, which was the entire point of the conversation.

So, if the Bucs move forward with Palmer as their WR3 I’ll guarantee he has about 600 yards. Give or take.
Just like he did last season, right :roll:

Really? So we’re just assuming every player does the same thing they did the previous season?

Trey Palmer reminds me of a Sammie Stroughter type, not in the way they play or their skillset but overhyped late round pick WRs that probably won’t stick in the league for but a few years but our fans will gas up because of all the kool aid we drink after drafting him.

If Evans misses any time this year our WR group will be as bad as almost anyone in the league.

Stoughton. Robert Herron. Kenny Bell. Justin Watson. Scotty Miller. It happens nearly every single time we draft a WR. Fans believe we hit the "big one" with just about every day 3 WR we draft. It never fails.

Reynolds’ career best is 618 yards across eight seasons with 4 different teams. With that much data I’m comfortable saying that’s his ceiling.

Palmer was a rookie. I’m not going to say 385 yards is his ceiling. Reynolds had 104 yards his rookie year…

You said it, not me. You wanna amend what you said in regards to assuming players doing the same thing they did the season before?

Tyree Davis. 12-year old Ichabod desperately wanting him to become a star because he tore it up in preseason.

WRs make the flashiest plays and there's always a 6th spot for them on the roster. It's a trap. They can make a great play, but they will never be great... Except for Horace Copeland. That dude's backflips were legendary.

If memory serves... That dude secured a 5-0 start for the Bucs in the mid nineties against the Phoenix Cardinals. Heard Gene call it on the radio.

That team probably finished 6-10.

Your thoughts?

Connor Williams is a FA, tore his ACL in December. He's going to miss the season. Do you go out and offer him a 5 year deal (that's really only 4), where he makes league minimum in 2024, but gets paid $13.5M AAV the other 4 (like Spotrac.com believes)? Each year can be guaranteed the year before. So, this year, we guarantee 2025's salary. In 2025, we guarantee 2026's salary... and so on. That way, he's guaranteed his money a year in advance, but we have a chance to get out with minimal dead cap.

Why is a player who tore his ACL in December already ruled out for the year? Must've been a lot more than just the ACL.

I'm guessing based on not being able to find anything regarding when he had surgery... so, I don't even know if he had it yet. Add 9 to 12 months to that. Also, considering that the Dolphins already signed a Center to a 3-year deal, I'm guessing they expected him to miss the whole season.

Godwin underwent surgery on Jan 3rd and started the season on the active roster. Took him a bit of time to get going, which is typical with ACL injuries, but he was recovered.

He tore his ACL and MCL. Don't know about Meniscus but that is somewhat common with ACL injuries.

Based on what I read re Williams it appears that the injury is beyond the normalities of ACL reconstructive surgery. Maybe there were complications from the surgery or maybe the original injury went beyond ligament destruction.

I'm pretty good with waiting until after the draft to fill out the rest of our needs.

With Conor will go with the most guaranteed. Likely short term.

We've seen Josh Allen without Diggs. It ain't pretty. But I'm sure he'd do work with Evans and Godwin.

I was thinking he meant the Jaguars' Josh Allen, because it wouldn't have made much sense otherwise.

Bills look to be closing shop and cleaning house. If Jallen is on the block he would make our offense borderline elite.

I know that’s a madden pipe dream transaction but damn, they’re getting rid of everyone

I don’t disagree about diggs but the Bills took a lot of hits this offseason. Their offense is devoid of talent outside Kincaid and Jallen now

Right. This is addition by subtraction. He didn't have over 100 yards in their last 8 games and they improved offensively.

His cap hit was massive as well.
