whatdrought Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Hard to see him being worth a lot after he failed to produce on a very good offense last year.

They started using him as more of a decoy/RB at some points too. Very odd. Would I sign him to a real small/incentive laden contract as a flyer? Probably, hes fast

K D Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 part of EJ trade package which resulted in Kiko selection (and Gragg). and now none of these players play on their teams 1

MrEpsYtown Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Austin is overpaid big time. I want Robert Quinn.

Logic Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 I feel that Austin was misused just about his whole time with the Rams. He spent much of his career in Jeff Fisher offenses, so that tells you a lot, as well. To me, he should be used pretty much strictly on jet sweep actions, returns, and screens. See: Tyreek Hill. He is not, never has been, and never WILL be a true WR. If you treat him as such and use him as I just mentioned instead, I think he can be productive for your offense. 3
starrymessenger Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 I guess he didn't revolutionize the game after all.

When he was eligible for the 2013 Draft, I remember posters on the old Bills Message Board pounding the table and screaming for the Bills to take him with the 8th pick. One poster went so far as to say: "Take Tavon Austin at 8 and then trade back into the 1st for EJ Manuel."

He's taller Roscoe Parrish. Second rounder all the way.

John from Riverside Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Robert Quinn would be my target from the Rams.....put him across from Jerry Hughes and let them work.....

Don't disrespect Tyreek Hill like that. Hill can be used as a legit receiver and can run the entire route tree. Edited March 1, 2018 by Chicken Boo 1

H2o Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 If he gets released and can be had for reasonable money. Not trading any picks or taking on his current salary.
