Hard to win without a QB
My head would agree with the move.
My heart would hate it. I like tanney, and Rodgers seems like a diva douche.
Well obviously lol I’m just saying it’s hard to point to many examples of a Super Bowl winning team having a top 5 paid QB. Doesn’t happen often.
We are not evaluating them as 22 year olds. One is 32 and the other is 26. What is so hard to understand about that?
One could have been retained without giving up draft picks. the other cost us a lot in draft capital.
You do not even understand the most basic elements involved here.
It's not the same contract the cap hit is the same. Corey's deal with the Jets was not expensive.
1 2nd this year and a swap of 4th for 6th next year is not “a lot” in draft capital.
jones at 32 is more valuable than Davis at 26.
Don’t see any argument to the contrary.
If we have to restructure to make room for Julio, then it doesn't matter. Someone has to restructure, which means someone is gonna get paid a lot more than they should over the next 1-2 years. The options were basically Tanne or some combination of two guys from Henry/Lewan/Saffold, since just restructuring one of those guys likely wouldn't free up enough money.
Personally, I'd rather pay Tanne near 40 million for the next couple of seasons than the guarantee Lewan or Saffold a bunch of money for the next 2 seasos. Lewan didn't perform like an elite tackle this year before his injury and while Saffold is a quality, he's 30 and can be replaced with someone cheaper.
I liked Davis but for the most part he’d shown nothing outside of his contract year last year and has his own history of injury. Give me the more proven receiver in Julio.
The 26 year old has been injured much more frequently and even when he's been healthy, has not come close to matching Julio's rate stats from 2020.
There's something to say about it being a less risky move, though with Davis' own injury issues, I don't think the risk is substantially less. But Julio should be quite a bit more productive than Davis.
Come on man.. in his "rookie" contract, Julio broke 1k twice. One of those seasons was for 1500 yards..
Corey was close this past season, but he completely disappeared when it mattered.
To even consider Corey in the same universe as Julio is ridiculous.
Julio went for 1800 yards in year 5.
anyone in the world think Hammy Davis is going for 1800 yards now?
Julio will end next season with more yards than Davis, no doubt about it.
Didnt I read somewhere Hammy Davis is already injured this training camp?

What the heck are you talking about? That is the CAP hit. His pay per year did not change on average. Geez.
Exactly. Davis is a decent #2 and Julio is a legit top 5 #1. These stooges that say we should have kept Davis have no clue. One even said we should have given him his 5th year option. Davis did have a nice year and stayed healthy for a change but his whole body of work isn't special. I'm not sure Reynolds, playing the #2 with AJ, Henry and Tannehill doesn't put up similar stats. 1000 yards for a WR, on a team where the QB throws for almost 4000 yards isn't a massive hurdle. And yes, the main issue is that the guy was not good enough to beat single coverage with a quality CB covering him.
You ever watch the Titans play and see the difference between AJ Brown and Corey Davis? I guess not. Julio similar to Brown as in generational talent. Davis similar to about 20 other guys not on their rookie salaries. In fact, JAG like players or guys slightly better than a JAG are NOT guys you tie up for multiple years on a big contract. Corey Davis is a dime a dozen. Never broke 1000 yards. His best year was good for 38th in total catches in the NFL, 20th in yards (and that is with a RB running for 2000 yards and a stud WR on the other side). We have people saying Jones has issues with drops when he caught 75% compared to 70% of Davis catches. The bottom line is you have to have that 10-20% better to win a SB and that is what Julio gives us. We already saw what Davis could do and his best year wasn't good enough.
I totally get what you are asking, and despite age difference, I would roll the dice on Julio.
I was one of the big supporters on bringing cd back however given the choice between cd and Julio I'm tracking Julio 10/10 times even if he is 6 years older.
Whether or not we want to admit it our window is closing. We have probably already seen Henry's peak, AJ and Jeff will need to be paid soon, tanne is in his 30's. Going all in on the next 2/3 seasons is absolutely the right move.
The move isn't without risk but the potential reward out weighs that risk imo

And next year Julio is cheaper
Guys, I said there wasn’t much other options. Just pointing out his cap hit lol
Things might get tricky for us after this season because of it but it doesn’t mean I think it was a bad move
His cap hit is higher than Russel and Mahomes. Not sure what you don’t understand. Cap hit affects cap space.
Hence why I didn’t say his AAV is higher than Mahomes and Wilson…
who do you want on your team the guy who scored 11 Tds, 2851yds on 207 receptions over the past 4 yrs or the guy who has scored 20 TDs, 5000 yds on 330 receptions over the past 4 yrs....
