We needed a reliable returner and I believed he was our best option. Many thought Milne deserved the spot ahead of him but he was a rookie and couldn’t be trusted to be consistent. With that said, I don’t believe we should spend much money to resign Carter. We can pick up someone off the streets to return kicks, late round pick or Milne is an option. If we can get him for 2/$3mil then that would be fine but anything more would be a bad decision no matter the continuity aspect. With that said, we’ve had issues at returner for eons it seems… so I’m not sure he’s quite so easy to replace. I agree though that I wouldn’t look to spend much on him at all.

I also think he came up with some clutch catches during the year. I would be reluctant to let him walk if we can sign him at a reasonable rate. He's a good 5th WR - active on game days as the primary return guy and can give you some quality snaps at the backend of your WR rotation. He is not someone you pay much more than vet minimum to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s face it though returns are not as impactful in football anymore. Kickoffs are a joke, just take the ball at the 25 and how many punt returns for tds happen anymore. All of 2 last year that’s it! Carter was forced into playing wideout but we need a rookie wideout and Brown to step up!

Hall and Walker are top two, but they'll be gone in the 2nd round and I don't want to draft a RB in the first two rounds. Hall and Walker are the clear two leaders. I am guessing they go somewhere from the late first to the mid 2nd round. No real consensus it seems on the 3rd best back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may have been better guys available but there is value in retaining familiarity on the back end. I figured of all our leaving FAs, McCain was the one they wanted most. With him back the starter FS role is filled. Now we just need to beef up depth a S overall And he doesn't factor into comp pick formula because it's a resigning. I like the move for a variety of reasons. Now get Wagner!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s already a lot of teams interested in him. I think Shenault could be a slot guy or do it all type player but in my opinion he took a step backward last year.

Familiarity with Carson, too. He'd be a good replacement for JD if he comes cheap. Edit: after posting this, I wondered if they ever actually played together. Going to have to check....

We can't enter next season without an upgrade there. If we add Wagner/hicks, and with McCain filling FS, I'd be ok filling out the rest of the roster with midtier FAs and draft picks, ensuring we get the 3rd round comp pick from scherff deal. Id be confident they won't force a reach on draft day, and they'd be in great shape to trade back if they find a partner. And I feel we are in significantly better shape moving forward.

MLB simply has to be addressed with a vet acquisition. Beginning to wonder if we are trying to preserve that 3rd round comp pick now. Hicks woundn’t count and we can still squeeze a couple of low tier deals in that offset Settle and JD. Or we do something random and bring in Robinson at WR from nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidFan Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Didn't Ron last year say we needed upgrade at returner...well we got that in Deandre so i hope they aren't playing chicken with him and other suitors in FA thinking he'll eventually come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anselmheifer Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Bobby Wagner would really free up our draft. He’s exactly what’s been missing on our defense for 2 years. I have a hard time seeing Rivera not wanting him. I’m holding out hope. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
