The Browns have a pretty full receiver room actually. I realize that Hopkins is better but they have 12 guys there now including Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples Jones and Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman

I can see them saying something about being excited about the guys they have

Need to get that Chris Jones extension out of the way

You could say the same thing about pretty much every team on the list.

They could get it done without that but it would require things like a few restructures and a possible void year.

We probably have the lightest WR room of any of the teams.

I know you're trying to mock, but that's probably not an inaccurate statement.

which of our guys is Amari Cooper

Lions would be good fit. He would get lots of targets and they need someone with all their receivers suspended.

Remember it's always seems to be a team you don't think of and they have cap space.

I mean, he said out loud that he's spent his entire career posting 1,000+ yd seasons with Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brian Hoyer, Tom Savage, etc.


While he didn't say it out loud, I think he wouldn't have any issues with playing with Goff.


But he also indicated that he'd really like to catch passes from either Josh Allen or Mahomes just a few days ago. And KC offers more stability and a better defense . . .

Translation - He will play for whomever pays him the most money. He doesn't care about a ring or any legacy. He's always been a me first guy. Nothing wrong with that, just see him for who he is.

Well if it's highest bidder he'll end up on like Tennessee.

I don't see it with Lamar. He hasn't progressed as a passer, sulks when things go sideways, arguably quit on a playoff team to save himself for a big contract. A lot of his success has been built around a dominant running game and his success faded when the defense didn't make stops and forced the offense to open up. So yeah, the idea that receivers are going to fix that system whose cap will struggle to keep the defense and run blocking together seems suspect.

The Ravens have a new OC who wants to throw. I think you should reserve the condemnation of Lamar for after this season.

He's definitely out of excuses though, it's on him now.

Whomever you want to be.

The point is, up until a few hours ago, even Chiefs fans thought the WR room was set and we had a biggo list of reasons to be excited and say, "well we don't NEED this guy".
