Getting separation is the most important component of playing wide receiver. It's difficult to tell whether Keon Coleman will be N'Keal Harry or Drake London at the next level.

 

Josh doesn't tend to throw a lot of 50-50 balls or fades, and only throws to a guy when they're in the open.

 

A receiver like Troy Franklin at #28 or trading up for Brian Thomas could be electric with Josh throwing them the ball.

I, personally, would think that catching the football is the most important component of playing WR. London is able to make the plays by catching the football. Harry wasn't able to do this.

I’d rather go get MHJ to be honest. I’m not as high on Jefferson as most for whatever reason. Although he’s still 24 so that’s a plus

 

 

The CTESPN thing is a rumor of Herbert to the Vikings

Wow, Herbert to Vikes.  My brother would be thrilled

I don’t know why the Chargers would want to trade Herbert - dude can play.  Maybe Harbaugh wants McCarthy?

I'm no cap expert but looks like a trade hits the Chargers with $63mil dead cap for this year? But a post June 1 trade is only $13mil? Can picks exchange hands on Thursday with a player being designated a post June 1 officially?

No, it is not allowed. Post 6/1 designation is for cut players only.

Not high on Justin Jefferson?

What's not to like about the best WR in the NFL, who is only 24 and wins on every level of the field?

The only real negative is you can't get him on a rookie contract, and it would cost high draft picks to secure him. (Those are pretty significant, however.)

He will probably cost almost as much as MHJ in trade and will be extremely expensive vs a limited contract for a top draft pick. 
 

Of course you’re paying for the certainty that this player is for real in the NFL.

The silver lining of taking the big cap hit on Diggs this year is resetting the economic structure of the roster. That is predicated on replacing him with WR talent on a rookie contract.

I don’t know, his fake hamstring pull TD celebration really annoyed me.  
 

what was his injury last year? He only played in 10 games

no question his numbers are elite.  If it went well here, he could push for the single season receiving record

Can he be extended to spread cap for acquiring team before the trade is processed? Or can SEA eat $$

I don’t care enough to look into it 😉 I don’t see him being an option this offseason, but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

Figured! Wondering how that trade could work in practice then. Seems like it just couldn't?

Anything is possible, but his cap hit is 24M this year.  If they trade him, it’s 36M

Yeah my bad I meant Legette just seems so comparable to DK, in every way. WOULD THROW UP if we miss on a pick and legette ends up an absolute freak.

Lol this would be funny. One giant step towards returning to college, before TC even starts 🤣 he'll be coaching Bama by or before 2026

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

This is the time of year when people start overvaluing draft picks. Who wants an ALL-PRO when you can have another draft pick?

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Getting Justin Jefferson would be like the universe correcting itself.

It’s tough to see how the Bills could work a deal to pay an expensive vet contract. They chose not to be more aggressive on contract restructures so that tells me that they chose not to go the high priced vet route. I think next offseason they’ll target to add talent that way. This season it’s just the draft.

I don't know what's more ridiculous - the idea that the Vikings are going to trade the best WR in Football at age 24, following them letting their QB walk to ensure they have enough money to keep him....

 

Or saying you prefer a Draft Prospect who hasn't played a down in the NFL over the proven best WR in the NFL.

Jefferson was injured….don’t forget the QB roulette the Vikes had after Cousins was lost

herrbis thr thing….

 

if try go for Rookie QB then you can invest in a vet WR and other positions.  If minnesota goes for QB thry ent moves thst open cap space in 2025.

 

if you have QB established, then you use the cheap labor in the draft.

And would have been available in the pick we traded for Diggs?

Oh yeah I was referring to the supposed Herbert to MN rumor
