This thread got big, quick. Apologies if this was posted already, but his highlights from last year.

Don't care too much about the signing, but it's interesting we keep bringing in the speedy receivers. That's a hint about what they think Dak-friendly means.

He'll never be that wide open in Dallas....bwahaha

 

[Beast_from_East]

Even the freaking Bears know this dude is straight up trash and we hand him $2.5 large.

This is like watching a 5 yr old on Madden trying to put a roster together............sad, but funny at the same time

 

[Sydla]

LOL. Wait. I didn't even realize that we are paying Thompson more than we were Butler.

hahahaha.

Guess what people? This team still overpays free agents. Just really crappy FAs.

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates when he said...I drank what?

I get that you are trying to be funny but Socrates last words according to Plato and willingly taking the hemlock were about how and why he was not afraid to die. Kinda the opposite of what your joke is trying to get at.

It's an interesting story juxtaposed to the fear and those trying hard to be malcontent that you see carrying on in this thread.

I dont think Thompson is a bad sign for that money. He was essentially the Bills' go to receiver after they picked him up from chicago. he did not do well in chicago last year with rookie qb and was dropped. some bears fans were not happy after seeing the stats he had in buffalo. i think he runs a 4.3 and much younger than wallace. finally supposedly a really good returner.

watched a little tape, he catches with his hands. 6 foot tall 205lb. from the little tape i saw, seems better than twill

most on the bills board were not happy he left and wonder how we got him so cheap. in comparison, there were minimal unhappiness at the packers board about thomas

 

[Blue&Silver]

I'd be surprised if he makes final cuts.

 

[Risen Star]

Would it ease concerns if I told you Broaddus raves about him in his scouting eye film review?

 

[Q_the_man]

2.5 MILLION, why not just draft a prospect much cheaper. we getting a guy who avg about 1.4 catches a game for his career

Not really. There's a faction fiercely determined to be unhappy no matter what.

He will
Guaranteed money

He replaces butler
No law says you can’t still draft a guy and I fully expect at least one maybe two
And one in top 3 picks

Agree!

 

[Cowpolk]

say it with me guys......CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Yep

 

[conner01]

Agree!

This draft doesn’t have that stand out star at WR but it’s pretty deep
There will be good prospects to be had after 19
My hope is a good defensive prospect at 19 but a guard would shock me
Miller is a WR I really like maybe in the second

2.5m is peanuts

The original round tender is 2m

Long Snappers get 1.25m

 

[Beast_from_East]

Where does this guy play? does he take snaps away from TWill or Beasley? or is he the Lucky Whitehead in this offense and run nothing but jet sweeps?

That is where the creativity of our offensive coaches really is a bonus here....................oh wait,

 

[Beast_from_East]

Butler is a 50/50 receiver..a jump ball type. Cant run routes well..lacks top end speed..and drops passes.Sounds like Williams don't it?

Sounds a lot like Dez, doesn't it?
