Tavon Austin contract details

[JBell]

The headline was in error and misleading. It should have read Tavon Austin, instead of "Tavon Wilson." Wilson's first name is Cedrick.

The pressure of trying to break the news before Risen Star was too much

 

[NEODOG]

So we we can't hit an open Bease

- Where did it go wrong?

Why overpay at that position if the guys are winning that battle?

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

So we got two Tavons?

Tavon Austin and Tavon Wilson ... with identical contracts. Scan the "FanZone" titles for details. I'm amazed at the talent of this front office and some of the members for gleaning out these details.

His stock has dropped.

That deal the Rams gave him a few years ago was a head scratcher.

The contract the rams paid him was crazy and set him up for life.

36 million is nuts. Picked the wrong career. Lol.

 

[Bullflop]

Looks a lot like Tavon Wilson's contract.

Thankfully, the headline's been corrected to Tavon Austin.

Thank God and Alexander for doing so!

He was so close

Learn to hit a baseball..... lol

It is a good bargain but the problem is this is the contract TAustin has earned with his production

It is better than over-paying Beasley but we need him to stay healthy and contribute big plays

I know, that guy just got 12 years and 420 million. And some were saying don’t take it because next year the contracts will be bigger.

I would have said 210 million for 6 years and then retired.

I like what he brings, always with the caveat of being healthy. Austin is far and away this team's best option at punt returner. Even after injury, he was electric against the Seahawks and should have had two huge returns. And I'm hopeful that Moore will have better sense to use him in the offense than Linehan ever did. For the few opportunities he did get, Austin was setting career highs in yards per reception and gave the offense game-breaking speed that they didn't have otherwise.

This contract is a great bargain. Now we just have to hope for health.

A lot of IFs in that statement

Like I said..... much better than over-paying Fair Catch Cole

As long as he holds on to the ball, which last year he did then he is good at returning compared to beasley. If he stays healthy he may even be able to split time with Cobb in the slot. Or line him up on go routes. Take a cb and maybe a safety with him to clear out underneath.

I started reading this before my 2nd cup of coffee....I regret that.

 

[conner01]

Can't argue with those numbers.

Props to the team

Very good price
Much cheaper than I would have predicted

 

[Typhus]

That’s a lot of money for a training camp body

If he stays healthy, he elevates the receiving core to another level.
Worth the money at that price.

The way I see it, there are a whole lot of IF's all over this team this year. Nowhere more obvious than their free agency targets. Tavon Austin is but one of many.

I'm cautiously optimistic that under a new offensive coordinator that he might actually be the multi-purpose weapon that was talked about last year.

• Punt returner
• Part-time speed receiver
• "Web back", used in the slot, out of the backfield, or in the beloved Jet Sweep

Ahhh the old jet sweep. Wonder if Moore will still run it. There has to be a play or 2 that Moore standing on the sidelines has always thought “ If I ever get to call plays I will never use that again.”

I hope not. In fact, I think this team needs to use a lot more pre-snap motion. The rest of the league is doing it and we need to follow suit. It gives the defense a bit of a pause and something to think about and that's always an advantage for an offense.
