We've already exercised our 5th-year option for Njoku at $6mm and change. However, it is not guaranteed unless he's on the roster on March 18, 2021. At that price, I don't see him being around come mid-March.

I think I'm gonna LOVE March 18, 2021!

Mike

I think either we get a great deal to resign him next year (plus a change of attitude), or he's a goner.

Baker joins and he becomes an irregular player with some drops and some key plays, never consistent. He got badly injured on a play against the Jets last year, I believe.

He came back to a secondary role this year and instead of showing that he deserves a bigger role by his attitude and production, a lesser name like Bryant shines in the same system and almost gets him out of the picture. He has had some great blocks this year, but I think either we get a great deal to resign him next year (plus a change of attitude), or he's a goner.

The Packers' Lombardi used to call it "Run to Daylight"

I think we both can agree on that...LOL 🙂

I question the connection with reality of anyone even considering entertaining the notion of resigning him.  Any aGM who brings that up should be fired immediately for cause.

Turns out that I still don't.

You clearly have not seen their Subway commercial. One of them likes tuna, one of them does not.

I was pleased when they drafted him, but I was wrong.....

David Njoku is NOT a football player! He's a superb athlete with no heart. If they cut him NOW, I would cheer!

Mike

he really likes his tv time what a poser

My wish for the TE position is a dual purpose guy that can block and catch like a Jason Witten or even a Mark Andrews. 

Kyle Pitts - Florida. But we will have to trade up to get him.

The team gets to 8-3 for the first time in ages and this is the 1st thing on your mind?

This wasn't exactly the 1st time this guy disappointed people that liked or disliked the pick.    I'll confess to thinking this seemed like a really good idea to open up the TE position as a prong of attack.  I was wrong.
