I am very happy that we signed him and I can’t believe we got him so cheap. Totally get that he came here for a ring, and to bolster his reputation playing with a great team, with a great QB.
But I do find it a bit puzzling as to why he would think he is likely to get the 1,000 yard plus season that he needs if he’s going after a big payday next year. Kelce and Rice are likely going to have 1000 yard plus seasons; it would be incredible if we got three receivers with over 1000 yards. But is that likely?. I think he’s going to be fighting hard to be our number 1WR. And a competition between him and Rice for that would be great.
Also, I think many of us are also looking for another burner WR in the draft, and possibly signing another free agent like Williams. That would make Brown’s challenge even greater
If he doesn’t have 1000 yard plus season he will have made a mistake in coming here, especially on the cheap. But it will still be good for us.
I am glad he is up for the challenge and thinks he can do it. I really hope he can succeed as we will then have a number one offence to go with our number one defence and a three peat is almost guaranteed. Well actually, nothing is ever guaranteed in the NFL but our chances are really good. [Reply]

#1 offense and defense. A beautiful thing to imagine. Definitely possible.
I remember when the Chargers had the #1 offense and #1 defense and managed to miss the playoffs. :-) [Reply]

Having 3 1000 yd receivers has had 5 times in history and if anyone could do it it'd be Mahomes with Andy Reid calling plays. [Reply]
The more I think about it, the more I love this signing. Dude has been a 1,000 yard receiver, and I don't think there is a franchise in the league that wouldn't consider him a starting caliber WR.
His career YPC is surprisingly low, which tells me that he has played with QBs who can't throw the deep ball with accuracy, yet he STILL manages to get yards with short and intermediate routes.
When you pair that with Kelce, Rashee Rice, and Pacheco, I think this offense is instantly going to be full throttle. Even more, it completely opens the draft up. We don't have to go for a WR in the first anymore, and we can actually take advantage of the second round depth at WR, because whoever we draft is 4th in targets at best.
We can move up, we can move down, we can stay put, we can take advantage of value with BPA or swing for the fences on a boom or bust guy.
Just a fantastic signing, all around. I really wanted Ridley, but holy shit not for that price. What a better signing this is. [Reply]

I don’t think he needs to hit 1000 yards and realistically that’s a very hard mark to hit. Realistically I think he puts up some games like 3 catches for 20 yards and games where he gets 8 targets with only 2 catches. And that’s tough if you’re juju but it’s what you expect for a weapon you get that allows you to take bigger shots. It’ll drive sports bettors and fantasy football geeks crazy. But everyone in the know will appreciate the contribution.
I feel like Brandin cooks is a reasonable ceiling and the numbers may not be eye popping but he’s had a very very profitable career all while being kind of a productive afterthought. If we plan to develop a speedster I think just like juju and skyy (yeah… I know) he will ease it. We could easily use a second speed guy in more of a gadget role or scripted passes early on as he learns a tough Reid offense. two speed guys can co-exist the way Mvs and Toney should have if they were actually any good.

It'd been a damned shame to deny Mahomes a walk-off TD pass in the second ever overtime in Super Bowl history. And just when we all are collectively thinking it's almost impossible to find new ways to pad his Canton resume.

You have anyone in mind?
What're your thoughts on La'Mical Perine getting a shot at the Jet role? IIRC, he showed well in his limited opportunities with pass pro to go along with catching the ball out of the backfield, and Spotrac shows him with a base salary of 1mil+ this season. I'm intrigued.
But I'd also give a Hollywood Brown type of ovation if we brought Dobbins in. He's only 25 and right in the Viotch Wheelhouse of Underrated Signings, to boot. [Reply]
