gtech1 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Let's keep him. $11M cap hit is reasonable. Has everyone forgotten he had 26 TDs his first 3 years? London, Ridley, Edwards, Zacheaus would a pretty good WR group. Lionzblade, 4LoveoftheGame, nutsandbolts and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD-FalconFan13 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I'd be completely on board. He's gotta get his mind and body back ready to play at a high level but if he can he's a reliable weapon for the offense. He gets separation like few WRs in the league and can be a valuable teacher for Drake and the other receivers. He's gonna have to prove himself able to overcome the demons he's faced the last two seasons but he can be a great asset Outmyfalconmind, gtech1, Lionzblade and 5 others 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Not sure why this keeps coming up; we were already about to trade him. This isn't even a discussion. If he comes back, he's gone, the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFalcoholic Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I would’ve loved to have gotten some more insight into the reasoning for him stepping away in the first place.

since68andcounting Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I don’t think you can dismiss someone as being a team player for suffering from mental depression. It’s a real thing. HOWEVER, if that depression likely has controllable causes, like possibly being seriously in debt to agents in the gambling world, AND possibly giving less than 100% effort or even intentionally throwing plays to vanquish such debt (which I’m not convinced he didn’t do), then that’s a different thing altogether. He should never wear a team uniform again imo. NanoLedgerS, Lionzblade, Godzilla1985 and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The indefinite suspension after all that makes it even crazier. Some clarity would be nice. Mental issues are tough, and his privacy needs to be respected. But really, I just don't see him moving on with us. I think he would benefit with a scenery change. But he would be a nice 1-2 punch with London. k-train 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what niggles the back of my mind. He fell apart, played poorly once Julio and his running mates left. I understand that he was victimized by gang members, and that trauma is tough to get over. That also played into his mental focus. I honestly think him moving elsewhere, if he is ever reinstated, would be the best thing for him. k-train 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
