especially when there were no other bidders (presumably)
Willie's agent is the GOAT

Not much out there, even at that price so I get it. Barring last season, he's a turn key WR. CM has more upside but he is not turn key. Looks like they are going with something that is safe since their WR corp is dismal minus Crabtree. Even he is not that good.

Wait till he gets a load of Flacco.

We have our own beast anyway... WR Austin Carr.

Similar stat line as Snead.

Good for Willie.

But Carr still looks like he can play. Maybe he'll get a shot this year.

Slick Willie just fleeced Ozzie and Ravens.

Played w/ what will be the most prolific passes in NFL history and managed 11 catches.

Good luck Slick, Flacco ain't no Brees.

Ravens definitely overpaid. He may bounce back and live up to it but it is a slight risk. No way the saints were going to pay that. Liked willie till he played the fool. Maybe the contract is evidence he has gotten his head on straight. He'll miss Drew.

Really looking forward to seeing Carr on the field. You know the Pats wanted to keep him but they were loaded at the time.

Didn't we snag Lutz from Baltimore? Who knows, maybe NO Brass put in a good word for Snead w/ Baltimore. You never know about how the front office relationships work. I mean, Lutz was a gift5, maybe we did Baltimore & Willy a solid at the same time...

No coincidence Coleman was locked up just a day ago.

We are still drafting a pass catcher this season.
