Mr. WEO

So, based on your conclusion, we can assume you have also, like Flores, been looking into this story. What have you found that this is a POS fabrication, "a mockery", by Flores?

I would travel for that!

yeah, screw the Lombardi trophy and the rings—players want real grass!!

MVS has been a solid producer with huge YPC since he got to GB. Plus his a big dude. Having said that, I like Davis. Tonyan is injured, so.....who knows how he comes back. But his breakout year was better than Knox's.

FA was open in March 2021. No one signed him as a starter.

Who are the execs who feel he is a starter now and why haven't they signed him?

He was undeserving of the MVP this past year--simply put. But 2020, easily the MVP. Anyway, you aren't "sitting at the top" when you are watching other QBs play on TV after you get bounced out of the playoffs again. You're sitting on your couch... Could say the same for Knox and Davis.

That's in paragraph 3..

Who’s going to pay 50 million for 1 playoff win?

Vick? Foles? Sanchez? Bradford? Wentz?

matt Leinart...

Bills go to the AFCC or SB, he's not going to another team for thew same money....no chance

If he has that great a year in 2022 to warrant such a huge offer from another team, the Bills will simply match it. Why wouldn't they?

I didn’t forget. It was mentioned several times. Scroll up

They couldn't decide between Antonio Brown and Hunt...

His catch rate was among the worst of the TEs. I posted to refute that claim. It's not "manipulating stats" to point out an error.... Not sure what the issue is here. anyway, don't pay the guy yet.

I was responding to Donotreply who cited Knox's catch % as a reason to pay him now (I pointed out it wasn't on par with his TE cohort---i.e., nothing special). Scroll up to keep up....

Or you could simply look at their respective careers to this point and get back to us.... Wasn't me "manipulating stats"--I didn't initially put them up. I was responding. Tre White isn't relative to this conversation--he was one of the best at his position for the bulk of his first contract so he got paid as such. Dawson Knox isn't. Anyway, since future money for the cap will be significant, make Knox earn his big payday with a second above average season. That's not a radical idea.

There were 15 TE's who caught 0ver 70% of their targets last year. Knox wasn't one of them. Yes he scored lots of TDs--make him show he can do so again. With massive network/streaming contracts on the near horizon which will likely dwarf the record smashing ones they are about to replace, the "risk" of waiting to pay a guy like this is minimized. The cap increase will make it much easier to pay him an upper tier contract in years to come, if he has another high scoring season in 2022. If he doesn't--and has a 40-50 catch year for 500 or so and a handful of TDs, pay him what that's worth. Logan was injured last season. He is perhaps a cautionary tale for paying a guy for one breakout season.

Knox stepping over the inch high bar set by Buffalo Bills TEs throughout history isn't a reason to back up the Brinks truck. Neither is an outlier TD total. If money savings is the goal, then pay him his current contract this season. If he doesn't have another standout year, then make him an offer that matches his value. Why pay him for one above average year (in a single stat) with a huge contract? Odds are he will not score 9-10 TDs next season. No TE may have that many. Kelce has had 9 or more only 3 times, Andrews twice and Kittles not once.

My point was that paying a TE for having a leading TD year got him that valuation. I don't think it's the metric to base a contract on for TE. Knox has had 1 money year in 3. Why not see how he does 1 more season for peanuts. They can franchise him after that for 11+ million. or pay him.

What are the 49ers paying Kittle 75 million for? Robert Tonyan had more TDs a year ago (11) and also had the most (tied). He was rewarded by the Packers for that with a 3.4 million 1 year contract extension this past season. No one gets a huge contract for being previously underutilized....

But the discussion is about Knox, who, in this his best season, was 15th in yards and 18th in catches

I've checked the other 2 "what to do with Edmunds" threads on page 1....the poll doesn't take it to the level you imagined.

They've been doing it for decades. Why not? It's a big hit with the fans. Plenty of bars for players to go to nearby. What are you talking about? Meh....they tried to export an Anchor Bar to the best location (for pub crawling) in Rochester and it died a bad death.
