This is kind of how I see it too. Between Callaway, Smith, White, Harris, Lil Jordan and the undrafted FAs we’ve signed I feel confident they can come up with players that will be viable 3rd, 4th and 5th options without taking on a Landry sized contract. I’d almost rather see that money used on D line depth or maybe Ebron as TE help or even a bet RB like Lindsay to help when Kamara misses games.

To Rez's point we've done the "let's see who steps up" for some time now. It's no coincidence that the Rams with three bad ass WRs went to one SB with a mediocre QB and won it with a real QB.

I think Jarvis is imperative and without checking dead money, would think we'd cut 2-3 WRs to make room for him.

Easop, White, Merritt, Baker.... all candidates to be cut

The Bengals had Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd. The year before you had Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Antonio Brown vs Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, and Travis Kelce. That receiver/tight end room has to go crazy to compete. In truth, we still need one more moving piece like Odell Beckham or Jarvis Landry to seal the deal. It gives you the depth to make it through injuries and also makes you close to unstoppable when everybody is fully healthy because most teams don't have a good enough DB room to handle all that. However...we do.
I read an article that basically ended with the question "Can Dennis Allen win the type of games Brees / Payton seemingly won for the team?"

I wonder how many games DA will win by following a less predictable gameplan and stubbornness.

I’m with you here.

Enough of the development guys. Brees is long gone.

You need legit threats 1-3 in the NFL.

IDK Major, Callaway had 45 receptions for 700 yards and 6 TDs going against number one CBs with Hill, Book, and Semien throwing to him for over half the season. I’d say that’s pretty legit if that’s your third guy. That’s about what Kupp had in his first year of starting.

Drew had Payton spoiled. He could make any WR they picked up look good.

If nobody else signs we'll have Thomas, Olave, Smith/Callaway. Plus Deonte Harris, who showed last season that he can play receiver as well. Not to mention Kawaan Baker from the practice squad who I hope gets another shot in camp this season. And we have UDFA to check out.

Trequan and Callaway as number three receivers should be very different than when they were trying to play number one receiver.

My bigger concern is at the TE position.

Do the Lambs have three expensive WRs as we speak right this very second? Asking for a friend...

I'm cool with Landry, but worried about the price. Thinking a more cost-efficient veteran WR might be out there - Cole Beasley or perhaps bringing back Emmanuel Sanders.

I get where you coming from I agree to an extent though. I think Sean has a point that there as well that there was quality impact Day 1 WR talent in the second. Feel like we ain't have to jump to 11 at minimum. Brand New Ferrari DA did 100 of the lot.
