I've rooted for the kid, but always felt disappointed by MVS. I say let him dangle a bit and try to bring him back on a 'discount' if possible. He's talented but has never put it all together, and at this point you have to think he is what he is. His talent is $10M but his production is more like $2M.
His hands have improved but are still shaky at times and he's not a contested catcher. Was absolutely gobsmacked Maurice Drayton had him on the hands team for onsides kicks vs. CHI (week 14. The Bears recovered of course, with 82 seconds to play).
I think he has more value in MLF's offense than others but I'd be disappointed if he signed a multiyear deal for $8-10M per. Would prefer they draft a burner with better hands to run 9 routes for less.

The way to beat the cap is not with a one year $7-10m contract. It's multi-year and a prorated bonus. Also, if you see MVS as a high ceiling work in progress, as I do, you don't want to lose him after he has a good year/possible breakout year.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

the fucking guy is 27. just 2 years younger then adams who some on here think was too old to keep
he's about to be a 5th year vet, he should have gotten it all together by now
rashan gary is already gotten it figured out, he's 24. alexander is already all world, he's 25
time to flush the turd and quit thinking its gonna magically grow into margot robbie if we just give it a bit more time

I see him as a deep threat with sporadic consistency. An ideal #3/4 type WR.
I'd value him at about 4-5 MIL/year....probably closer to 5TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

Wonder how much cutting Carlos (best punter we’ve had in awhile) for OConnell was assessing his holds on kicks vs cap.The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

From Tom Silverstein:
The one-year deal #Packers TE Robert Tonyan received is worth $3.7M and includes $1.75M in incentives, according to a source. The #Packers had to pay because at least three other teams were interested in signing him despite coming off a torn ACL. Says what people think of him.I can't run no more

MVS has already turned into a legit NFL WR. He isn't/won't ever be Adams so that comparison is foolish. He also isn't a top pick like the other guys you mentioned. And a 2 year difference in age when guys are effectively signing 3 year deals is huge.Originally posted by red View Posthigh ceiling, work in progress?

That being said, I don't want to overpay him. Reports of him getting $10 million/per are a joke. I'm a huge fan and I will be pissed if we sign him for that. $7 mil is max I can see paying and even that seems a bit stiff. I was thinking $18m for 3 years myself.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi

You see him from 2 years ago. In the NFCC game in 2020 he was really good. This season he was pretty good when healthy. He is a legit #2/3 who becomes a legit #2 when the MVP is the one throwing to him. All he needed to become better was for our QB to stop staring down Adams all the time.....mission accomplished.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostI see him as a deep threat with sporadic consistency.

About Bojo versus Irish guy . . . I've read in ACME that the contracts are actually pretty similar, so I'd say - as I have elsewhere - that the holds on kicks had a whole lot to do with it. That and punting badly in cold weather.
One thing I can't figure out is why teams don't use the backup QB as a holder any more. It's not like holders are getting hurt all the time, and then, if you use the backup QB, you have the potential for a fake or for getting a pass or play off if the snap sucks. You could even use a backup WR as a holder, if you wanted to keep Bojo. But his punting really fell off once it got cold. Weird, as he'd punted in Buffalo before.
As for Z Smith, well, if the Vikes sign him, just run to his side a lot. He doesn't hold an edge well and can get fooled on screens, too."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I know when MM made the switch to punter as holder, he said it had more to do with practice. The backup QB can't be at one end of the field with the offense and at the other end of the field with the ST unit at the same time.Originally posted by Fritz View PostAbout Bojo versus Irish guy . . .

As for Bojo, maybe Buffalo let him go after the 2020 season for the same reason(s) the Packers did after the 2021 season.I can't run no more
