Re: 2021 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints


(excerpt)

D.J. Chark should have no issue finding targets in Detroit. Outside of Amon-Ra St. Brown, there's not a whole lot to get excited about with the Lions' receiving corps.

The problem, though, is whether Chark will be able to use those targets to showcase his strengths. After all, he only signed a one-year, $10 million contract, so he'll have 2022 to prove his worth to the Lions and the rest of the league.

As long as Jared Goff is the quarterback for the Lions, it's unlikely Chark will shine.

According to John Kinsley's Deep Ball Project, Goff was 27th in the league in accuracy on passes of 21 yards or more. Not only is he inaccurate on those deep throws, but he also tended to avoid them completely in 2021. Goff had the lowest average intended air yards with just 6.6, per Next Gen Stats.

At 6'2" with 4.34 speed, Chark is at his best as a vertical threat. While he'll be a featured part of Detroit's offense, he didn't find the optimal quarterback to raise his stock.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

So in a nutshell, Jared Goff didn’t exactly live up to his draft status, nor able to elevate others.

I was never a fan of his coming out of college.

Meh...think we are fine without him. Especially if he's going to try to screw us for a big deal.

It's likely his last contract and there are no financial guarantees in life after the NFL for him. He should absolutely shop around to find the company that will offer the most for his abilities. I certainly look for better opportunities when I look for employment.

I'd like the Saints to sign him but I agree that the Saints don't need to spend a lot of money on him.
