Skyy has done and shown nothing except the ability to choke on his own cock.
Unless he has some incriminating evidence against the front office or coaching staff then they feel he brings something to the team that Remigio and Ross do not. What is that? Not a clue, but despite being bad for three straight seasons he still stays on the 53 man roster. [Reply]
Cooper is my choice. I've never liked his game that much, but he's the sort of dependable profile we need to set a floor in this room and the cap hit is ultra-manageable while the compensation won't be overwhelming (but that combination may make him richer than expected in terms of draft capital).
I'd probably prefer Johnson all considered. Anyone who wants Robinson is a fucking lunatic. And the Raiders aren't trading Adams to us and even if they did I don't think I want any part of that drama for that price tag. [Reply]

Diontae is more of a Chiefs style WR but both would be great fits. [Reply]

A vet WR to add to this group. At last we agree!
It's actually sad because the WR room as constructed to begin the season was perfect. And through no fault of Veach's, it just didn't work out. [Reply]
Can Ross or Remigio really bring that much less to the roster than Skyy Moore? I haven't paid enough attention, but is Moore killing it on ST or something? Or are those guys just not getting it done in practice to be elevated in his place? Because he's not sniffing the field with a WR starved roster, and that speaks volumes.
I don't know if a trade partner is really out there for us looking at our available cap space. We either would have to have a team eat a bunch of salary to unload a player, or we are restructuring and extending the new guy, and do we really want to do that with a potentially aging player (like Cooper).
I think I would prefer seeing what Ross or Remigio can do in practice during the bye week and potentially shit canning Moore as an addition by subtraction move heading into the following week. [Reply]

The team has seen what they can do. And they chose Fortson over either of them. Yes, Moore shouldn't have even made the 53 man roster, but that doesn't mean we need to waste his spot on a WR that's just as worthless. [Reply]

I also don't think wasting draft capital on a desperation move is any better, if the end result really doesn't bring anything to the table.
If they can grab actual talent and make it work, awesome. I just don't see how that works. We could get lucky but it seems more likely its adding dead weight and/or an aging guy who may require an extension to even fit under the cap. The options out there, aside from maybe Johnson just don't seem that appealing. I guess Amari could be good, but historically he seems to be good for his initial year on a new team then gets complacent and does jack shit after that, so extending him seems fruitless.
I don't know, I just don't love what appearst to be the list of available options from other teams with what we can afford. [Reply]
