    Tyler Hunter signed with the Browns today. Their QB's are Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, Tyler Huntley and Dorian Thompson Robinson. They have all the pieces in place now to run the Wishbone.

    I've seen a report that he turned down over $30 million a year, so he could very well be a one-year rental.

    All the focus is on JJ but Aiyuk would be an excellent pickup.

    Justin Jefferson was a guy they talked about earlier. Maybe they are revisiting that.
    Tyler Boyd is just asking too much for the Steelers.... though they have to realize he has posted back-to-back 1,000 seasons. Jefferson is not coming cheaper.
    Michael Gallup could be an option....

    Don't know but it's all over my fb page this morning. I wonder if they did trade for Jefferson if Pickens would be part of the trade.. I can't imagine Pickens would be ok bringing another # 1 wr in

    Who cares? Trading Pickens for Jefferson makes no sense. Jefferson is in the final year of his contract and he is asking for way too much. He passed on a deal with an average salary over $30 million. Pickens is still on his rookie deal. Also, they need to add receivers, not just exchange them.

    All this talk about Jefferson. What about Stephon Diggs? He wasn’t a happy camper last year and his contract is similar to DJ’s.

    I doubt the Bills will move Diggs, but Jefferson is in the last year of his contract, he wants an insane contract, and the Vikings need draft capital to try to move up to take a quarterback.

    It would keep Pickens from being constantly double teamed

    Justin Jefferson would cost at least our #1 this year and maybe next year's too. He is really, really good and Jefferson and Pickens would be the best WR combo in the league. So I guess will have to wait and see what happens.

    Giving up two first-round picks for a player in the final year of his contract would be insanely stupid.

    There is no need for Bud and that is a good thing

    He would be number 4 behind Watt Highsmith and Herbig and would get next to no snaps

    Herbig got some snaps as No. last year. Also, they rely on those guys making plays, so having a solid No. 4 if there is an injury is important.

    That said, he would have to come cheaply and knowing his role will be no more than Golden's last season, likely less.

    You lost me with the part in red. Typo?

    With Watt injury is certainly a factor otherwise the top 3 get almost 100% of the snaps and number 3 gets a lot of them
