how about Tyrell Williams? He's big, fast and plays on the outside. He's only 27 years. He is 6'4" 205 lbs. He has been under used. He has average over 16 yards a catch and has 16 td's in the last two years in a LIMITED role and no history of griping or problems off the field. In addition to all that he has been healthy.

Sign him and he becomes our #1 outside receiver for the next 5 years. He will not come cheap but we cannot go into the next season hoping we hit on two gems in the draft. A lot of the other guys out there fit the slot role. Beasley, Humphries and to a lesser degree Tate and he is 30 years old.

There is no doubt Antonio Brown would be a huge acquisition , however, he comes with baggage and would cost us a draft pick.

Does anybody think he will be looking for more money than Brown. I don't thinks so.

Would be a good signing; also since he is a free agent it would not cost us any draft picks.

I like the player and the fit. Unfortunately, since this free agent WR class is so weak, I've seen projections of him getting >$10 per year as the top guy. If they are way off and he can be had for 6 or 7 I would consider.

I want Williams, but the drawback is that you will have to pay him Antonio Brown money, and he's never even been a Pro Bowl player.

What happens when he finishes the year with 49 catches, 720 yards and six TDs? Is that worth $14 million dollars? That's really the most likely scenario.

If the Cardinals sign him, I'll be guardedly excited. Maybe he breaks out big time, but based on historical odds, he's mostly like to be a cut candidate 2-3 years down the road with a nasty cap hit.

You will have to pay Williams like a fringe #1 which is 10+mil...I would rather draft someone or trade for AB.

While I like him, I don't think he's true #1 material. Look at it this way - the Chargers drafted someone in the first round to replace this guy who was already on the roster. He's barely eclipsed 1,000 yards before, with a hall of famer throwing to him.

I'd rather draft N'Keal Harry.

He’s big. He’s fast. He has been used very little so not much wear and tear. He is an outside wr. He’s experienced and finally he is young enough to be a main cog for a long time. He checks every box. If he is limited to 49 catches and 800 yards it will be either injury or Rosen isn’t the guy.

You are talking about him like he is an established star.

It is definitely tempting, but I would rather draft a couple of WR's.

We better get one free agent which most would consider good and not just average because if we are banking on any rookies in their first and second years with just Fitz and Kirk, then I feel for Rosen... or Murray lol

Or that he just played the same way he always has...

He is what he is. If he was a star he’d be one. Anyone paying him 10+/mill a year is crazy. That system isn’t holding him back.

He may be big and fast but that doesn’t make him a top WR.

He’s never been a#1 and that’s even when Keenan Allen has been injured.

I think he’s 3 or 4 on the chargers. He may be a good complimentary piece but that’s it.

I'm beginning to get intrigued by Metcalf. He's a big wideout who knows how to escape the jam and win most jump ball battles. We could probably trade down 6 - 8 spots and still get him.

Result - We fill the need for a big dude at WR and, in doing so, pick up at least one draft pick.

Meh. He is similar to Harry IMO.

Brown?? I'd rather have Michael Floyd with a broken pelvis. OK maybe that's a bit extreme, but still wouldn't want this massive diva anywhere near the Cards. He's a cancer, he's on the wrong side of 30, and all he wants is more money and more balls thrown his way. No thanks.
