I think we'll end up paying Mike Thomas



I doubt it. WR is a position that is easily filled, and teams that throw bank at it suffer. As much as I like Thomas and hope he's here for his entire career, the reality is that can only happen if he is willing to accept a reasonable contract. WR simply isn't a premium position, and teams that treat it as such generally don't succeed.

I'd bet that we pay Kamara as well


This I agree with.

Yeah he can walk, worth every penny but we don’t need to pay him those pennies either.

We're pretty damn good at drafting WR's in the high rounds. I could see us letting him walk if we keep that up. Hitting on a rookie & paying him peanuts for 4 years is the best way to go.

It would be nice if we hit on a late round WR again...like Colston(7th) & Stills(5th). We got Snead & Lance Moore for free.

We would need someone pretty damn good to replace him with though.

I believe having quality players at Wide receiver is very important and you don't let a superstar go. What teams have suffered? I just want more evidence of this? The lions? As bad as they were they still had their best seasons in the past 20 years with Calvin. I guess Andre Johnson comes to mind.


Elite receivers to reach super bowl over the last 15. (this is being in the top 5 the year they went there at minimum)
Owens 2004
Harrison 2006
Moss 2007
Fitz and Holmes 2008
Wayne 2009
Wallace 2010
Welker 2011
Cruz 2011
Gronk 2012,2015,2017,2018. (yes he is a basically a receiver)
Thomas 2013
Jones 2017
