DaMeatTroughsEgo Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Looks like it's the Reggie Kelly show! He will have 100 catches, 6 TDs. He's a beast and he outlasted Jamal Lewis! *sarcasm before negs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulitik Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Frees up a roster spot, we'll probably re-sign him later in the season if one comes open and he's healed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman88 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 man please, now we can finally see palmer show wat he can do, kelly is a blocking TE only, so naturally palmer will get a little more touches then last year, but im not expecting nothin serious... maybe 5-10 balls this year. maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMeatTroughsEgo Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 The big question will be, does Palmer become #2? I believe he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Don™ Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Michael Palmer has good hands. Maybe its just me but he looks slow as molasses out there.Yeah, he's definitely not a fast guy, but he has good hands and can find soft spots in zone coverage...

raysnill1 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Michael Palmer has good hands. Maybe its just me but he looks slow as molasses out there.he doesn't have to have speed. between Roddy, JJ, Harry & Meier (who runs a 4.5 don't get it twisted) we got enough speed, we just him to be able to get open & hang on to the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phattywankenobi Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 The big question will be, does Palmer become #2? I believe he does.I always think of #2 as the decoy or blocking TE. Palmer has good hands. He's built more for catching than blocking which is Kelly's spot. He'll be out there for sure though because from what I have heard he has had a decent camp and they need to get him live action sometime before next year.

KANE337 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 He has a knee injury. He can't play hence the release.We all know he has a knee injury. If you read the report they said it must have not been a serious injury thus resulting in a quick injury settlement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADBABY Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 All I ever saw from Peele was good effort and ability. Palmeris probably better equipped to block and has a knack for gettingopen and catching the ball. That is enough for now. When Gonzalezgoes we can find somebody flashier than Palmer in the draft.

JOEinPHX Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Injury settlements usually occur in cases where a team would have liked to upgrade the roster spot of the injured player anyway. The settlement has the dual effect of treating the injured player fairly and at the same time freeing up a roster spot. After a settlement, it's very unlikely that the injured player will return, so I think we've seen the last of Peelle, which I regret. He was about as un-spectacular as they come, but always reliable and there when Ryan needed him.As for Kelly filling the #2 spot, I think that's only because his skill set is the same as Peele's and it makes sense to slot him the same way. It doesn't mean the staff thinks Palmer can't contribute, only that he's not primarily a blocker like Peelle or Kelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard_falcon Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Wow...it was that bad?...sheesh! :unsure:Actually, because we reached an injury settlement so quickly, there's a chance the injury isn't too serious at all.Several writes(not just D-Led here) have speculated that Peele could re-sign here or sign elsewhere around mid-season after he recovers.That said... still have yet to hear what the exact nature of the injury was. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theProf Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 What was Peelle's salary like?Cheers,GOBefore the injury release, Peelle's salary-cap hit for the 2011 season was going to be:"Justin Peelle TE $1,635,000 " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
