Popular Post KRL Posted February 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 29, 2020 Anderson may want 12+ million, he may not get it: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/2020-nfl-scouting-combine-latest-news-rumors/ 6:15 PM ET (via Tony Pauline): A disappointing FA market for receivers? On Tuesday, I detailed how the free agent market at the wide receiver position may shake out at the top. Sources here at the NFL Combine tell me that many of the free agent wideouts will be disappointed in the contracts offered as teams will happily turn to the NFL Draft to select one of the talented receivers available this year. Last night (and below), I mentioned a similar dilemma that veteran free agent running backs are expected to face. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lith Posted February 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 29, 2020 Just posted something similar in another thread. Connor Hughes wrote in the Athletic today that he heard from an Agent that Robby's market may not be much more than $9-10 mil. Which may explain why Douglas is talking about retaining him now, when at first we were hearing he was expected to leave. At $9 - 10 mil, I want him back. $13 - $15 mil, not so much. 27 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekskill68 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I like Robby but if he's shooting for $12+ mill and a guy like Perriman can be had for $7-8 mill I'd save the money. I saw a couple of his Tampa games after Evans and Godwin got hurt and I thought he looked really good. Nothing like what he was as a rookie on the Ravens... 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This class reminds me a ton of the 2014 WR class, which saw guys like Devante Adams, Allen Robinson, and Jarvis landry slip into the 2nd round. I don't really see where in the first round we'll have a run of Wide Receivers go. Of course it's possible, but there is most likely going to be a few 1st round talents at the position to be had in the 2nd round because of how deep this class is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that some players will eventually slide into the second round.....just don't think MIms is one of them. I think he'll be among the first 5 WR's picked and wouldn't be surprised if he's the third one off the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetty Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The amount of good WRs in this draft may drive down the price of the free agent market. I think we get Robbie back on a favorable deal. If we do that, I dont expect use to draft a WR until the 3rd round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeardedSavage Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I just don’t think this is the year for us to focus on premier draft/FA receivers. There’s depth in the mid rounds of the draft, our priority should be offensive lineman (Both at the top of the draft and in FA) and there’s a shot RA becomes more realistic with his contract expectations. I say it regularly, but it warrants repeating: we’re not gonna fix the whole roster in a year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishful thinking. Higgins is still a possibility at 48, depending on what he does in his pro day.. Mims is more likely a trade up candidate if he is still on the board in early 2.

Wonderboy Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I wouldn’t give him more than 15m 2 year contract. He’s just not worth it. And that’s a nice piece of change for a guy who’s lucky he’s not working at Walmart. To go from being undrafted to being a starting wr in the NFL is a huge accomplishment. Now he has a chance to be set financially for life. Not bad but don’t get greedy and have some humility. Sign with the team that gave you the opportunity to become an NFL wr. 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyJersey Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I cant wait until Anderson signs somewhere else so I can stop hearing about him. C+ WR. He is a #2 Wr on a good team, probably 3rd option after #1 WR & a TE or RB. The chances of Jets fans thinking "wish we still had Robbie" in 3 yrs are about the same as Gase being a Super Bowl winning head coach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good point. Either way I am not feeling sorry for the kid. He will end up with 20 million guaranteed on a bad contract. So his life will be good regardless.

jgb Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The signs have been there since the beginning that it would be about $10m but then everyone started freaking out once Robbie’s agents started doing the standard negotiating through the media bit. Almost anyone on this board would be a better drafter than Macc/Idzik but get destroyed in the negotiating/gamesmanship part of the job. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the O will be much better in 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying High Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Whoever thinks that robbie goes for 10 million or less has got his hand on it! The market may however depress his price to 12 million in which case i would resign him. And bring Sanders in for 10 mil. I want route runners, not rookies who may take a year or two to get the routes down. Lets see what Gase/Darnold can do with some receivers who will be where they want them to be! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastineau Lives Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The list of teams that would be interested in signing Robby Anderson is shorter than the list of WRs that have a chance to be better than him in this draft.

I was actually thinking something similar while reading this. I wonder how he saves some face if this is true. Your idea would do just that and make me happy in the mean time.
