They still need to build some kind of DL and let the WR group stabilize itself with some additions.

Well, yeah, they traded away a HOF'er.

I was talking more about the absolute shit show of this year repeating itself. I'd say everyone agrees they aren't gonna be THIS bad again.

Rice is a nice add, they need one more top end guy. The rest can be filled easier.

If you sign and draft a guy, you're WR room is essentially going to be made up of 1/2 round draft picks and a highly paid FA. If that's what it takes to build a room, our scouts and such all need fired.

Yes because you know Kadarious Toney and Skyy Moore have shown they are the guys, that thinking is how we ended up here.

However, I agree that Veach won’t overhaul the room. Can’t really. So Toney, Skyy, and probably JWat will return for 2024, leaving just 2 maybe 3 spots left. And that’s if he doesn’t bring back James, which could happen.

My fear is that he’ll think this season was just a fluke, and not address the issue properly; and then we’ll have to watch yet another season of inconsistent incompetence, and waste what will likely be Travis’ final season.

Toney will be WR4 at best and Skyy will be fighting for his job in training camp to make the roster

Well we also thought that the offense would have to stabilize after Week 1. And that didn’t go well at all.


But come the draft, I think you’re going to be happier than me, because I think Veach will approach the WR room pretty much as you’ve described already. I just hope whoever he picks at WR isn’t another bust/long-term project, more athlete than WR type. We need a dude, not a flash in the pan/JAG this time.

Cutting both Toney and Moore would be just over $3M in dead cap. Their contracts are not keeping them on the team next season.

The offensive skill position personnel on this team will look completely different for the 2024 season.

There's no need for us to be in the "revive someone's career" business. Let someone else take that risk.

It's not gonna be easy - but Veach's job is to find someone through the draft, FA and/or trade that will be a difference maker, not a question mark.
