Everyone wants "more depth" at WR....which after last year....ok. But they've got 4 guys there now that are atleast good solid players.

Would I like that to be Cornelius Johnson? or Brendan Rice? Sure. Do I think it's terribly likely? No, not really. I can't see a 3rd day pick or UDFA knocking Moore off as a rookie. So if you're looking at a guy you're hoping to sneak onto the PS, well aren't you better served drafting someone that may actually knock Caliendo off and make the 53? I see their logic in the way they handled it. Just tells me, again, that they like Skyy Moore a LOT more than I do.

Have not been a fan of pursuing him in the past, but I think there's an argument now that it could make sense. |

But I've come to the conclusion that OBJ isn't a ring-chaser. He's closer to Hopkins in this regard. He's gonna go where he gets paid. He's gonna want $10 million+ to sign somewhere and I'm just not interested at those figures. OBJ may not even be about the money specifically - it may just be a 'respect' thing for a guy who doesn't realize that he's not the player he was 7 years ago.

My thing is you can't hate on players for wanting $ over a ring. You can't eat that ring, and sports contacts are getting huge in recent years! Would any of us give up several million dollars to join a new company because they were the best in their biz? I wouldn't. |

The only real problem I have are guys like Hopkins that are just obviously full of shit. Hopkins has ONLY ever cared about money. And I've said it before about him - cool, do your thing man. It's your job, make your money. But it ain't gonna be here. And don't bitch about not winning when you went to the team most willing to pay you and not the team most ready to win. If you want to win - go win and don't complain about being underpayed. If you want to make full market value, go get paid and don't complain about not winning. These are choices you have to make and either of them are defensible. It's the obnoxious hypocrisy that bugs me.

I don't blame him for trying to get every dime he can, I'm just not interesting in KC paying him what he wants (which is about 2x what he's worth).

Is that worth $10 million? Maybe to some teams. But not us, IMO. $6 million with some incentives that can take him to/near $10 million? I might be interested in that. But he just doesn't see himself as a WR 2/3. At least he didn't a year ago. And nothing has changed on the field to indicate he's more than that, IMO. He would help - no question. At least during Rice's possible suspension and Worthy's learning curve. But he's gonna have a learning curve of his own - has he ever played in a system that uses any of the Reid terminology? I can't recall him playing for a coach from the Reid tree.

Personally, I think he's worth a $7-8m deal and would probably be of more use than MVS was. It's not something we're super likely to consider so kind of a mute point. For this year only, I'd probably be willing to give him a $10m incentive driven deal to secure a stronger WR room for a 3-peat run.
