It's all speculative regarding that $18M+ mark per year for Ridley.

It's also funny that we're more concerned with a 2nd RD pick as an unknown commodity with a current front office that's had a ho-hum history so far with finding immediate impact players in said round.

I don't get it. As far as Ridley wanting more than Kirk? Again, speculative. He was 26 years old when he signed his deal, which is only 16th by the way in terms of highest paid receivers on average based on this year. Also, to be fair to Ridley, he's the 4th highest paid receiver at the moment on this team and being asked to do more and be more than guys like Kirk, Jones and Agnew who are all ahead of him.

Even if Ridley came in and said, "Give me $18.5M or $19M", I think you have to consider it. This would literally put him above or around guys like Diontae Johnson, Brandin Cooks, Chris Godwin, Mike Williams & Amari Cooper. Which, at this age? It's pretty fair value. All things considered.

Would still be interested to see who all you guys have on your radar in this draft that would do better as an unknown commodity in the exact same position as Ridley as well as who would you go out and invest in via the market, because, Higgins is going to cost you more than that per year, without ever being a true #1 receiver as well, and, again, we're not a superstar WR away from winning it all folks. It's cute to dream. It's not the reality though until the line play improves.

You guys want to inherit Adams $28M cap hit? With probably giving up more than a 2nd round pick? Knock yourself out. What about Kupp? If the Rams are trying to fire sale a guy or two? Would you be comfortable eating his $26.7M cap hit for multiple picks? Given his durability concerns? Diggs with his $24M hit and diva tendencies? Who has fallen short with Buffalo since he's been there?

I don't know. Maybe I am overthinking it.
