I agree, although some of that will depend on his performance this year. Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised if his next contract comes in lower than that.
Maybe, but it sure sounds like some of you are describing a gadget player. Bowers need to succeed at playing TE before he can succeed at being a RB or otherwise.
I understand the positional flexibility, but at the same time his "bread and butter" should be TE. He's NOT Deebo Samuel.
And that's fine, which is why I said it would be an inefficient use of resources bc of the Everett signing. I never said Bowers sucks or anything like that.
I would be meh on drafting Bowers, mainly because we have Kmet and Everett already and have bigger more important holes to fill.
As for WR, you MUST know what the WR position on average fields more players than TE on any given play, right? You need more WRs on your team than TEs.
Having 3 TEs...
Is this really a hard concept to grasp? Maybe we should draft and sign 4 TEs. Maybe we should draft another RB too. Let's just create depth at only one or two positions. What could go wrong?
Guys get injured at all the other positions as well. What happens when a a WR or OT gets hurt?
Fans are just being obsessed with the player Bowers and aren't really thinking about the actual team.
Having Kmet, Everett, and Bowers would be pouring too much resources into the TE position. It'd be kinda dumb. I get that Bowers is a great TE prospect, but Everett would be the odd man out and CHI just signed him for $6M/year (which isn't the end of the world).
it just wouldn't be an efficient...
