I dont think he is on his rookie deal anymore. Not since he was cut from the 49ers. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with his health issues, it was probably to risky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the logical move. Guessing that is the most likely outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 A healthy Cam with the few weapons we do have and this defense could be a short-cut to competitiveness. I kind of doubt Cam can be reliably healthy for too long at this stage. And Haskins deserves the chance to develop in the interest of long-term competitiveness. Not all short-cuts are good, even if this one could be fun for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean many can't improve, they can. Anyways it wasn't meant as a negative in my post at all, rather a sign of hope that impactful QB play is all we need along with everything we do have, even if it's not perfect, to compete. Though I see your homer alarm went off and drew you here anyways. Some of the names you listed are hilarious though so I'll give that to you, you're funny.

Est.1974 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Based on the comments that a couple of TEs that we were looking at went in the draft just before we picked, and recognising the BPA/need balance, got to think the addition of Moss as an UDFA is not the end of the story at TE.

sportsnut Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Moss could’ve filled the TE need. Delanie Walker seems to be all that’s left among free agents. A trade for Njoku or Howard would be sweet but seems unlikely. I’d like us to sign CJ O’Grady. He went undrafted and still hasn’t signed with a team.

NickyJ Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Moss is a UDFA. He is not a weapon, he is not going to fill the need at TE. He is a camp body, and if he is lucky, he will be our third string TE. Third string TEs are not weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't take it as a negative ... and I completely agree about QB play. Would love "impactful" from the position. Would be ecstatic with competent. Just curious as to the number. 15 minutes ago, ConnSKINS26 said: Though I see your homer alarm went off and drew you here anyways.

He made a lot of plays. Granted, he benefited from outstanding players across the board, but I think he showed more on film in his ability to make plays than the measurables would suggest.

Our best contributing UDFA from last season was Steven Sims. It took him half the season to get any attention or have any real effect on the team. The person he beat out for the job was literally 1 pick away from being a UDFA himself and remains a running joke about how we relied on an underdog to fill the role of a productive player. (Seriously, who really thought that Trey Quinn could replace Jamison Crowder? Really.) The chances of some random UDFA suddenly coming along and turning into a "weapon" are nearly impossible. A plug and play RB? Yeah, sure. A UDFA whose only relevance is his Hall of Fame father? No way Jerry Rice Jr. can do that overnight. Wait, wrong UDFA. No way Thaddeus Moss can do that overnight.
