Watched him play a few times. Don't know a ton about him, but he has made a few big plays. Maybe a diamond in the rough kind of guy.

I think he provides competition with a guy like Bellamy. Let them battle it out and the best survives. The problem I have is that if they both make the roster. I'm nervous about our WR depth...Kevin White is currently our number 2/3...that concerns me.

If history is any indication, he won't be 2/3 for very long.;-)

As has been pointed out - Gabriel and Burton are going to get more targets (and maybe Cohen) than our WR2 likely will.

Hell, our WR2 might look more like a college spread WR2 who’s just there to threaten defenses deep.
Holy Shit - We got Justin Fields!

In my former life I was known as FencikFanatic.

Oh, and if you were wondering - yes I'm real. And I'm fantastic.

I remember he caught a 76 yard bomb vs KC last year in a crazy Sunday night game. 29 REC 350 yards 3 TD's last year and plays good SPT's. He's probably a Joshua Bellamy double. If we're being honest.

yup, former undrafted who was good enough at special teams to stick, and who if we give him significant time we'll hate exactly like bellamy.

Right? If Denver wouldn't even tender him.........

I'm beginning to believe that Kendall Wright--who signed for $1M with Minny--just wanted to do anything to a team that he was really confident would be a winner. Surely if we're giving $$$ to Bennie Fowler, we would've been willing to toss $1.25M at Kendall Wright, right? Or maybe that's just 20/20 hindsight?
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Go back to leather helmets, NFL.
