Done deal.  I'll do it.

I voted 150-299.
With so many targets likely going to Chase, Boyd, Higgins, Uzomah, and Mixon, he likely will have fewer targets than he had last year.
Combine that with his low YPR and I think that keeps him under 300.

I see something like 27 receptions for 250 yards.

I'm not sure how many receiving yards he will have this year.  I just hope he has fun.  If at the end of the season he does an interview stating how much fun he had all season I expect everyone to give me rep.

I was thinking a picture of fred and something like, "I love that fredtoast is always right" but that might be pushing it.

This board hasn't had many sig bets in its history.
I'd be happy to see those come back.

Lol, nice

Sample just simply doesn’t impress me in any way.I think there’s a good chance Moss takes over as the #2 TE.

You do realize, that in the true spirit of sig bets, the other party involved typically accepts some equally embarrassing sig to sport..

How about 500-700 yards and 5+ TD's, something like that?  You give that and and so decent blocking and I don't think anyone has nearly the same issues with the production.  I don't think anyone is holding him to the 1,416 and 11 TD standard that Travis Kelce has set.

He had 40 catches for 349 yards after starting the year as the #2. While playing 6.5 games with a Finley/Brandon Allen at QB while trying to help out a subpar OL all year. In his second year in the NFL.

There were 21 TEs with between 300-600 receiving yards last year. There were only 5 TEs who went over 700 yards last year. Your lazy argument of trying to shit on a guy who was drafted primarily for his blocking prowess because he hasn’t put up top pass catching production numbers in his two years in the league is the lazy one. There is more to TE play than pass catching statistics. And with Cethan Carter gone and Uzi back Sample will surely be asked to do more of the dirty work. Which will be great for you to shit on him some more while he is blowing holes open in the run game.

Ha! To be fair, I'm making bets for Wes without his consent.

Actually, he did agree.  So, in the spirit of fairness, he get's to select what unsavory sig you will sport, in the event that you are not the winner.

Alright Wes, what do you have in store for this contestant?

[t3r3e3]

If Sample has more than 300 yards receiving there have been massive injuries. At best he’s the TE2, and basically a scrub.

[fredtoast]

If Uzo plays every game Sample will only play about 15 snaps a game, but that is a significant number.  Maybe even use him more as an H-back like we did with Ryan Hewitt.  A guy who could line up anywhere from a slot receiver to FB.  15 plays a game can make a huge difference for an offense, but Drew won't catch a lot of passes

17 receptions for 152 yards and one td.

I'm on team Wes w/ the "Sample sucks" posting. He needs someone against him. A forum nemesis if you will. Ahem, frenchtoast.

I voted 150-299

I just think with all our other weapons provided they stay healthy, our TE's won't see that many targets.

Possible too, I like Thaddeus as well. If injuries happen who knows if Moss steps up and plays well for us, could happen.
