29 year old receiver who two teams didn't like enough last year to keep around. This is a joke right? I'm guessing this is our Bryce Butler replacement but for fucks sake. I'm not sure he makes it out of camp.
Plus he is a former Gator, if Simp hates it you know it's bad.

I don't give a shit about Hurns. I am more concerned this stupid fuck franchise just gave a turd like this $2.5M contract, with $1M guaranteed.

And if he doesn't, $1M is flushed down the toilet.

We can't just try to find gems in free agency. We have to instead scrape the gunk off the bottom of the barrel. I mean seriously. Of all the WRs we brought in, I'd rather have signed none.

Glad to see they came back from the Bahamas with both guns blazing. 
I think Joe Thomas makes the roster but I have a feeling that Thompson won't even make the final 53. Feels like another one of those throw away signings where they bring in a vet prior to the draft simply as a backup plan.

Don't forget, probably McClay too. Just horrific.

He did have his best year last year. As for the 1 million, the vet minimum for a 7 year guy is 915000.

The first row of stats is Thompson, second is Watkins, third is Butler. Thompson costs 1 million guaranteed while Watson costs 30 million guaranteed.
This is the f'ing market, and all things considered I think we fared a lot better than KC.
There's either room for competition in our WR corps or there isn't. Draft picks are all gambles, and none of them know how to be professionals yet.
This was a very reasonable move.
He's a drop-in replacement for Butler and is competing for a better contract. That's what we need, given we're not going to find a Dez replacement outside of the draft.
I want Ryan Switzer's smug, comfortable ass either transformed into a significant contributor or fucking gone. I want Beasley, Twill, and Dez to raise their ridiculous 8.7, 10.7, and 12.1 YPC's or be gone.
Of course that means better protection, better passing, and better offensive balance.

An affordable option for a non number 1. Efficiency aside, this guy is on a par with/possibly better than guys like Butler and Twill and looks to be a decent signing for this stage of the FA game. I don't call it 'done', but couple it with the draft, and its not bad for this train wreck of a passing game.

Yeah I read it. You'd think we are getting a stud deep threat. But I'm over it. Hopefully he can give us Butler production while we draft some real recievers.

Types like him on Twitter are just complete fags.Fluff like this makes me glad he blocked me
That Birddog 26 guy blocked me because I disagreed with him the other day.
They love people kissing their ass for the non-existent information, but as soon as you refuse to sing to the homer tune...BLOCK
