A little more than Moore did last year.

JJSS is a fungible player and if Skyy Moore can't fill that role we have bigger issues.

JJSS was at the very least a proven reliable NFL commodity.

I think that the Kansas City Chiefs, my favorite team, are poised to make a run at another title!

There was no way KC would have ever been in on something like that. I'd rafter extend Jones and Sneed

Pretty amazing that people act like it's a stretch to think we can replace JSS with one or some combination of Moore, James, and Rice.

Richie James is a veteran and had like 60 catches and 7-8 TD's last year with Daniel ****ing Jones.

Yeah, it's puzzling.

So much handwringing over replacing JJSS and Hardman w/ Rice and James.

That's it - that's all we've done. And Hardman missed most of last season (and was a whipping boy when he was in there). JJSS didn't DO anything but run 5 yard routes and stand in space.

"JJSS was reliable..." No he wasn't. He was a known quantity and part of what was known was that he is NOT reliable due to a chronic knee issue. The one thing we reliably know about JJSS is that he can be relied on not to ever beat man coverage. His greatest contribution there was drawing a holding call because Andy deked the hell out of Bradberry with those route combinations.

I just don't see any loss there. And there's plenty of room for improvement - even from guys like James (a veteran in a similar system last season in NYG) and MVS, who was SO close to being a massive weapon for us so many times. Oh, and who had the game of his life in the AFCCG.

Not sceered.

Do SB contenders generally trade their stud WR1 and win a SB with stop gaps?

Should've known you'd be a drama queen after missing out on Hopkins.

Right? When did Richie James turn into some POS bit of roster fodder? Guy has a really nice season last year with a QB who simply can't throw it where he aims. He gets outstanding separation and has plenty of NFL experience. The tools are there for him to be quite good and if he's nothing BUT who he was last season, he's still awfully valuable.

Even if that means playing for the Falcons.

Guys looking to contend don't take visits with the Titans. He's looking for the bag. And honestly, I think he's probably worth what OBJ got (who was NOT worth what he got) but I also think the team can put that money to fine use elsewhere and have the pieces in place to operate just fine without him.

Hopkins would be the 2nd best WR this franchise has had since Otis Taylor - but he's not a necessity.

Went to the team that wrote him the largest check. Once he was slow-playing FA, it was clear what he was doing.

Moving on...

He signed a roster fodder contract so that's what happens.

No one's being a drama queen, it's a perfectly reasonable conversation to say the WR room has questions everywhere.

Okay? Why is that an indictment on him? If anything that's a pat on the back for Veach getting a quality contributor at that price point.

Always a good idea to decide on a player's utility via the size of his paycheck...
