WR Corps in 2025

[WookieOnRitalin]

Tim patrick still played 59% of the snaps. Just because he was not targeted does not mean he wasn't used.

BJ already said he fits his scheme around the players. If he had 3 great WR's like the bears had this year I'm sure he'd have used them all.

We absolutely need a better #3 WR as Scott does nothing well, including blocking.

You actually proved my point.

Between the two...

Kmet >>>>>>> Scott

So who will be utilized again?

Also, "used" versus "targets" is one of the stupidest hair splittings I've read in awhile. I am not exactly sure what point you are trying to make. If you're not being targeted you are....

1) Probably not that good
2) Probably not open
3) Really far down the list of people that QB likes to throw to
4) Essentially a decoy

So, yes, we could have a "decoy" out there who gets few targets. If that is the definition of "used" then so be it. My definition traditionally involved targets, receptions, plays longer than 20 yards, TDs, etc. You know, like, statistics?

Lastly, I do not think anyone in this thread thinks we want to keep Scott at #3 if Allen is gone. Quite frankly, KA leaving would probably be a good thing because we could probably add speed in FA or the Draft and it would likely be much cheaper to do so.

Speculating on what BJ is "willing" to do is not as useful to what he actually has done. So far, his system benefits a two WR, one TE passing game. The good news is we have that. It was probably another big selling point for BJ that he could move in with a similar setup of talent.

all lions receivers could block, if Johnson demands that Scott is toast

Patrick is a no brainer. Cheap, familiar, will do dirty work, can play across the formation.

I think they will plan to keep Scott, even as #5-6. They also need a punt returner. Carter was meh and is old. Doesn't have to be WR of course.

I think they will grab Patrick and probably another guy who is more of a speed player, Elijah Moore, Tutu Atwell on a bigger one year deal. But they aren't going to spend alot on WR in FA. Maybe $7m on two guys.

Yeah agreed. Think they likely also take a flyer late on a raw bigger WR with speed.

question, if someone else signs Keenan would we get a comp pick?

No. I think he’s got too many years as a vet

George let them spend big for the coaches, he will demand dollar tree prices going forward

He'll let Poles spend whatever cap space we have.

Tee Higgins is just dying to sign here posts incoming

No one has said that dipsh*t and no one is going to say that. F off boomer

Tyler Scott deserves a chance with the new coach. He's got good speed and could develop in the new system. Not sure why anyone is writing him off even as a #3 or #4. Carter is interesting as well but we will need someone for special teams as well.

He's had two offensive coordinators and neither used him. I wonder if there's an issue with his preparation.

no one ever said that, is a staple of CCS denial, and has been for years, so F off SFB'S

Don't bet on it

Let the butthurt flow through him

I'd bet on it. People need to stop with the talk that the McCaskey's are cheap because they aren't. Now this is new for them to spend this much on coaching but they've always been willing to spend on the roster.

I’ll take a slayton or Westbrook-ikhine in FA.
