All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I doubt Decker at this point is a big upgrade over what we already have at WR.
( Holmes, Zay Jones, Philly Brown etc. )
Overpaid Clay has been basically ignored for long stretches the last 2 years. Getting another TE with a decent contract to be ignored makes little sense. TT can't find the middle of the field. Maybe our new OC can help but we'll see.
I just don't see any " we must have " player at this juncture. The roster will be tweaked at points due to injuries but it's a scheme watch from this point on.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
Tbh, if Decker is cut, as expected, I would think he's well worth a look.
He's a good sized guy who knows how to use that size, and his production has been consistent when healthy.
He's also got a lot more experience than anyone else we have on the roster, at WR, and it's something that isn't to be sneezed at.
He's also not going to be inordinately expensive necessarily, either.
I'd say he would be a sizeable upgrade, over what we currently have, as what we currently have, is largely in the realms of 'potential', as opposed to 'proven'. (Watkins excepted, assuming he gets and stays healthy).
Decker has also proven himself with different teams, QBs and systems.
For sure, he isn't a 'must have' type, but I do think he could make the team better, and by enough to make a 4-5 million investment in, worthwhile.

You can't figure we're gearing up to make a charge this year though, or have a passer to justify the expense, over rolling the money over toward when we can. Decker at this point is a vet situational piece for a contender imho, not a bandaid for a team a couple years away if it works right.

We have cap room and we are weak at WR...not sure how this isn't an upgrade?

**** that. Clay is a talented TE. When TT actually throws to him, he's a monster.
Just because our QB sucks isn't a good reason to stop acquiring talent at WR/TE.
If anything, it you acquire more talent there, so the next guy who steps in when TT is inevitably benched can take advantage of the weapons TT habitually ignores.
Some part of you must know that the best way to make a bad team good again, is NOT to quit trying to improve the roster, right???

It should be interesting to see if TT can improve under a different OC and HC. Rex's stupidity has given TT the benefit of the doubt that coaching set him up to fail.

I'm willing to leave the door cracked for that possibility.
The odds don't favor it but hey, weirder things have happened.
And If/when TT sucks, we can cut him loose and use our 2 first round draft picks next year to secure our QB of the future. 2018 will be a good year for it.
Which is why I say stockpile talent at WR/TE now so he steps into a good situation.
