Man would I love if we added this guy! Perfect fit in my opinion. Pretty sure he had a good year with Bradford before.

He plays in the slot, which is where Fitz plays. There really isn’t a fit for him in AZ.

Any word if this is where Fitz is going to line up under the new HC/OC?

Fitz was the ultimate team player by moving over to the 'Hines Ward' position in BA's offense. He was banging D players on almost every play. Not sure if he has the speed to move outside again---even though he still has the moves and the knowledge on how to position himself.

We need a healthy Bradford throwing to him. It will be a deadly combo. IF IF IF.

Do we have the money to pay him?
He is still available after a bad year so maybe an incentive laden or a back loaded deal- maybe cut Trex and met Boehm play center or draft Price or Daniel's in the second

Never a speed merchant, Fitz hasn't had #1 WR speed in quite a while. He can't be the #1/outside guy on a consistent basis.

Why do people keep referring to Fitz as a defnite slot receiver when he wasn't one before and we have a new offense... anything is possible

Because age and losing a step changed the kind of player he is. Fitz is still an amazing player, and can be for a few more years, IMO, just not consistently on the outside. It wasn't just scheme keeping him inside, but age.

He’s not an Outside WR anymore. He just isn’t keep him great right where he is.

Arm chair GM here but if we are trying to win this year wouldn't it have made more sense to throw some money at a WR instead of oline? Olinemen don't take as much time to get acclimated with an NFL offense, therefore, fighting our draft on the line would have made more sense. This team is going to be so predictable with Fitz as our only receiver outside of David Johnson.

Is he healthy? He has missed time the last 2 years. He is probably the best WR left on the market?

If Keim has this concern, he should draft Christian Kirk.

Crabtree is available...probably best on the market right now.
