Some that had connections to Taylor:
Watkins - signed a 1-year, $5 mill contract with BAL
Reynolds - signed a 1-year, $1.75 mill contract with TEN
Another guy I liked who was cheap - Chris Conley. 1 year, $1.25 mill with HOU.
Also John Brown, who signed a 1-year, $3.75 mill contract with the Raiders.
It was definitely feasible they could have made a big splash signing on Joe Thuney or Corey Linsley and also signed one of the above WRs.
That along with the signings they did make would have made most fans very optimistic going into the season.
But now, many of us are worried that they have to really nail this draft in hopes they might actually just get to a winning record.
Conley is exactly the size/speed/production we need. Watkins also would've been a solid fit.
We probably would've had to offer more, but that's fine.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
