Maybe, but if they’re trying to trade Garrett are they rebuilding?
If Garrett is traded, then I think a domino effect results and yes this becomes a rebuild. I'd put the odds of that happening somewhere under 50% though.
Great call. Maye looked even better than Stroud down the stretch (without pointing fingers at who/what was to blame for Houston's sputtering offense at the end of the season). Even if NE drafts one of the better rookie prospects, Kupp could easily start and lead in targets there and it wouldn't surprise me.
And on that note this did not come across as being very encouraging: https://x.com/SharpFootball/status/1887575298163573028
I don't know, Adams took pretty below market value in my opinion. He's also a very different type of WR than Kupp. Adams wins your sideline deep shots that even peak Kupp wasn't great at.
It was a contractual wash. Almost exactly what they are paying Davante for the year for what they would have owed Kupp to keep him.
They save $7.5 million cutting him before June 1st but they’re gonna want to spend that $, so I expect it sooner than later.
Jags & Texans both signed WRs this week, no?
Nothing remarkable - Jags picked up Dyami Brown from the Redskins, and Texans have added both Braxton Berrios (likely a ST) and Kirk.
Right, following the Kirk acquisition, which was a somewhat sizable deal. Strikes me they’ve made their splash at receiver.
There isn't really much overlap with McConkey. McConkey wins at every level, both inside and out.
They franchised Higgins.
So you’re assuming Kupp is the bride.
Big Ben will enjoy that receiving corps!
Why not just trade for Juju? lol
Tip up the Kupp and throw ya hands up!
The welker/amendola/edelman/kupp progression is obvious, but I'm afraid state income tax and rebuild status will prevent the dream from being realized.
I think a bigger issue is Kupp is a west coast guy with a family and little kids. He's already made close to $100M, so not sure he would want to move 3,000 miles away when there will undoubtedly be suitors a lot closer to where he lives currently. IIRC, Kupp was due something like $55M over the next two seasons. NE could have taken on that contract for a 7th round pick (and may have been able to get the Rams to put up some of the money). The Pats are said to have an interest in Kupp, but who knows how much they want to pay him.
For some reason it feels like Houston has 17 WRs on their roster
Technically, teams were not permitted to talk to him up until right before free agency officially started when he was released, as he was under contract to the Rams. If there are 12 or more teams interested in him, he's probably weighing the plusses and minuses of each team and each offer. Unless all the numbers haven't been fully reported yet, there are still 22 teams with $25+ million in cap space for this year (including 12 at $40M+). Is there any really need to expedite signing somewhere? Only a trickle of FA signings came in the past couple of days.
True. He probably can take his sweet time since now the market for WRs is going to fall off the cliff with the likes of Diggs, Cooper, etc.
