insight Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Benjamin is good but can we really afford 10 million for a #2. If the browns let him walk it's obvious he wants big money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I would be on board. He is a Miami guy after all. Hands would have to improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the browns let him walk it's obvious he wants big money. Probably. But there is the possibility he just wants the F out of Cleveland and might be open to accepting a little less to play for a winner. I think he'll be outside of the price range I think we should be looking at, as well...but if they do the dirty deed and cut Roddy it's manageable. Julio on one side. Bejamin on the other. Hardy and Tamme in the middle. Plus Freeman out of the backfield. Benjamin is young. Projecting up. I could see us being a dangerous offense with him and a couple of new linemen (through the draft and free agency) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconOdense Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 10 mio???? No way. I would prefer to use those money on Mario Williams and create some sort of pass rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconsDK Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) He won't get 10... will he? Could definately see him do some nice things as our number two. We've been missing a fast guy since Hester went down. But 10 M will be too much - I think he's more in the 5- maximum 6 range, but his agent probably don't care about my opinion Edited February 24, 2016 by FalconsDK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRUNKuno Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I keep telling yall that the market for receivers was set when Michael Crabtree got 8 mil a year to play 2nd fiddle to Amari Cooper. But let's cut Roddy who makes 6 mil... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK Manley Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 No way he'd cost 10 mil per. Guy has one 900+ yd season and only 1600 yds in his 4 year career. Contracts are going to be crazy this offseason, but no way he gets close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insight Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I would be surprised if Cleveland didn't offer him 6 or 7 million to stay, I'm pretty sure he is looking for a payday. The bonus would be he returns kicks but I don't see him providing the same impact as Roddy in his prime. Nothing is FREE in FREE AGENCY!

He doesn't have to.We're not looking for a replacement #ers wise we are looking at a guy who can stretch the underneath and help with the vertical game so underneath guys can get favourable match-ups.

Bobby.Digital Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 This would be so stupid. Benjamins best asset is his deep speed. Most of his production came with Johnny Manziel on deep balls. Ryan isnt a good deep ball thrower. A possession WR like Garcon would make so much more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting at least 6m/y. 6 mil is probably a pretty good estimate. Best comparison I can think of contract-wise is Golden Tate at 6 mil per. Tate had a better resume, but contracts are going to rise this year. Not sure how I feel about this, but if it allows them to release Hester and save 3 mil this year, maybe it makes sense.

DMT11 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 roddy and hester are gone if we try to sign this kid - we have 39 players under contract for next year - we got looooooots of work to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro2000 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Last week, reports had him re-signing with Cleveland. I like him, but interior Oline, LBs, and Pass rusher are our primary needs. Benjamin would help and some of his costs could be offset by Roddy if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy5prings Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 This is tough. Free Agents usually get overpaid but if we have to overpay, we should do it for a pass rusher, not a WR2. We should be able to draft a starting WR2 in the 2nd or 3rd round, maybe a big bodied guy like Josh Doctson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMT11 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yea we need a blocker too if we cut Roddy and sign a smaller faster reciever that is not going to block - thats another thing to look at with Roddy - I think they are 5050 right now, can we get a number 2 that is strong enough to block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold4425 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Love it. I don't see where Roddy has to move. This is the Injury prone NFL. JJ, Benjamin, Roddy and Hardy gives us a great group and improves our chances for the playoffs, reduces the need to draft a WR in the 1st, 4 rounds plus we will have Williams and UDFA's. That is not mediocrity. I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
