Tripleshot Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 So, where does he land? Where would you like to see him end up? (Not necessarily the same thing.) Big red zone target for Cowboys? Saints? Patriots? Unsure how much he's making and whether certain teams can afford him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Wow. Gotta think two teams dumping him says a lot about him. And to think he ran his mouth about Cam Newton this summer. He has the physical tools but he cannot put it all together since college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Wasn't he like an elite WR couple years ago in CAR, now traded then cut. (2014 rookie year and 2016 after missing a season with ACL injury) Looking at his numbers I see his catch% is way down this year, he needs an increasing number of targets to produce.

Just too big to play WR in the traditional sense. Doesn't seem to have the skillset of a TE, but maybe he could be converted. Huh, he's "only" listed at 6'5", 245 lbs. on Rotoworld. I thought he was more in the 260ish range. He's a load though. Honestly, I'd like to see him on the Bears. I think he'd mesh well with what they currently have there. Worth a shot.

DMD Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 By this point, I think he has three hurdles to get past to matter in the NFL. 1. Attitude 2. Work Ethic 3. Maybe not the brightest bulb on the tree. Those three kill off a lot of college all-stars when they reach the NFL and natural ability no longer is enough.

purplemonster Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I was wondering why Kelvin Benjamin was being mentioned. I actually kind of forgot he was playing this year. That's how inconsequential he's been. I think he should try to add weight and become the first 300 lb receiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the Saints could use some help at the position and maybe he'd have some extra motivation getting to play against Carolina twice a year. Wouldn't hurt having a better QB either. I wouldn't mind the Saints bringing him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flemingd Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hmm, $2M to claim him. More likely they let him clear waivers and look to sign him cheaper afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget his lack of ability to create separation from DBs. at 6'5" I'm sure someone will give him another shot, but he hasn't been productive since his rookie year. And has a habit of landing on the injury report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, he is not a 1st round talent. 2. by "value", I specifically mean the cash value a team next FA assigns him when he signs a contract. If no team would give up $2mil for the next four games with the inside track to re-sign him, then he's clearly not worth much cash. Isn't that part of the valuation in determining Comp Picks? I said possible 1st round talent. I never said he was worth a 1st round pick now. Just the possibility that he can still play at that level given the right circumstances. BTW, I went back and read fleming's previous post and he didn't say anything about Benjamin's value. He said the Bills could have possibly gotten a compensatory pick for him if he signed with another team in FA. Given the Bills gave up a 3rd & 7th to get him it stands to reason they would likely get a compensatory pick for losing him.

flemingd Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 2 hours ago, LordOpie said: I hear you, but isn't comp pick determined on future (or current when free agency opens next season) value? Not based on what you previous paid? Yes, but at this point why not wait and see what that is? They are on the hook for the money anyway, so it's not saving them any cash. If they sign more than they lose then oh well, nothing lost. But what if they don't end up very active and lose the same or more players? Then they have now lost the opportunity to get a pick in place of Benjamin. Even if that's only a 6th rounder it's still a free asset. If someone had a free 6th rounder and had thrown the Phillip Lindsay dart with it that would be pretty significant. Silly of the Bills not to wait and see.

purplemonster Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Actually this has me thinking. Was there ever a 300 lb tight end? I'm not talking gadget stuff like the Fridge. Do you think we will see one? And by that I mean somebody relatively decent who plays tight end regularly. I would imagine we would and in the not-too-distant future Edited December 7, 2018 by purplemonster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Cam Newton weighs as much as Benjamin(245), at least with data shown on PFR (Panthers roster has same for Cam). Gronk is 265, Megatron was same as Benjamin. I tried looking up some other big WR/TE and couldn't find anybody over 265. Ditka was only 228 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
