I'm fine with this. It's 2 million guaranteed and he knows the system. If he's our 4 or 5 receiver, it's fine. His supposed skill set works with Jameis arm strength. If we wanted to sign a bigger name, this deal won't prevent us from doing so.

Here are some interesting stats I found quickly:

Smith was 85th amongst all NFL wide receivers last year in both yards and catches at 32 for 377 yards. With 31 other NFL teams considered that means there were fewer than 3 WRs per team that had better stats than him.

In other words, on average, his numbers would have been slightly better than the#3 guy on other team’s rosters. So, with CGM back (&#129310

and Callaway living up to (and hopefully bettering) his performance from last year and whoever they draft (again&#129310

, then by numbers Trequan should be a solid 4th receiver. Just food for thought. I guess I’m trying to convince myself it’s not a bad signing after all.

The problem with 3Quan is his route running. He doesn't run crisp routes. Instead of sticking his foot in the ground and making sharp cuts he round the routes off which throws off timing and allows DB's to jump routes. He's pretty good in the red zone though. I just would rather try and develop other talents. I much rather continue to watch Lil'Jordan Humphrey grow as a WR.

Agreed. I’ve wanted to see more of Humphries for a while Rez. He still could beat out Smith in camp.

Has he played a full injury free season yet?

Didn't think so. Let's see if this actually happens this year. Maybe his numbers improve then.

Should have let him walk

I'm not impressed but I see why they re-signed him. 3Q blocks, knows the system, and has a new WR coach. Maybe....just maybe we bring in a really good rookie and MT comes back strong. In the meantime I'm still nervous. Man, we really need to nail this draft.
