Need a slot guy...
Cooper actually reminds me of Randall Cobb.

Quote:I got the impression they gave him their best, highest offer and left it at that. Since it sounds like no one, even the highest bidder (Oak) were as high as he was looking for.
I wouldn't say that's not pursuing hard. It's going as far as you're willing to go.
The bids are in, and Murray isn't pulling his "reserve price."
So the car goes unsold.
Sounds about right.
I guess that means the car goes back to its original owner, at the original owners price?

Would be nice to get anything for him

Without a doubt. Must be JDR and the raiders calling about him. No one else would be so 3 yards and a cloud of dust focused.

So I guess that means he's a Jag next season, unless of course Dave gets an offer for a trade that he can't refuse.
Could be a draft day trade.
I would trade him for a 6th at this point.

I think I'd want a 4th (and doubt you'd get higher). I wouldn't be in any hurry to get rid of him though.

I'd gladly take a conditional pick for the guy at this point. He's done nothing to indicate he's going to have any impact on the field in the future.
I would on take a fourth or better for Lewis. He is a good insurance policy for Julius.
I think Marcedes would go for a 4th if a team has a young TE that they want to feature in the pass game but they also need help pass protecting and want a veteran presence at TE
I really don't have a problem holding onto him for another season, we've got plenty of cap space. Unless of course someone makes us an offer we can't refuse.

you mean like the Jaguars?
We need as much blocking and receiving help as possible, our offense was awful last year
Quote:I'd gladly take a conditional pick for the guy at this point. He's done nothing to indicate he's going to have any impact on the field in the future.
With this being his last year in the contract, I can see us trading him; rather than him walking away next year. Because we probably aren't going to resign him. It would make sense. I just don't know that kind of value he'd pull..
GO JAGS!!
Quote:I would on take a fourth or better for Lewis. He is a good insurance policy for Julius.
Exactly. Plus he adds experience to the offense and you could maybe get creative with him in 2 TE sets. He may actually end up improving as a receiver with better weapons around him.
Quote:I would trade him for a 6th at this point.
When you start signing this many FAs and are having as many return players as they will in 2015, those late round picks have less and less value.

If they decide to trade him then a cheap replacement just became available:
Quote:Scott Chandler | FA
(March 11, 2015 5:02 PM EDT)
Bills released TE Scott Chandler.
The move creates $2.25 million in cap space, and is further evidence that the Bills are serious about their pursuit of Dolphins transition player Charles Clay. Chandler spent the past five years in Buffalo, averaging 45 catches over the past four seasons. Chandler is a solid blocker, but lost some of his already-limited athleticism following his 2012 ACL tear. Going on 30, he'll be limited to 1-2 year offers in free agency.

When your team is thinking about how to get more blocking out of its skill positions then you're doing it all wrong. You force the defense to pull guys out of the box by having great receiving threats and a QB that understands protections and hot reads. Marcedes entire skillset is backward to what the modern NFL demands.
