This really isn't that surprising. 

 

He has all kinds of talent but I've felt for a while that Moncrief only shows up once he's inside the 20. He's a TD vulture that disappears in the middle of the field.

 

I`ve never been under the impression D. Moncrief takes plays off or doesn`t give 100%. However, I don`t feel he`s been consistent enough to warrant 6m a year per say on the next contract. IMO he may have already hit his ceiling, which is 50 or so catches and 700 yds per season.

The problem is he has some nagging injuries that Ballard may see as something you need to play through.  I think he can be solid but when you spend a 1st round on a disaster know as Dorsett it does not look good for Moncreif if his numbers are lacking either.

Wouldn't mind Mo Claiborne.

I was thinking the same thing. I believe PFF had him rated as their #13 CB last season. He looked like he finally put it together last season and a move to a mainly man coverage defense would be good for him.

What is he basing that on?   

Twitter is not to be trusted, imo.

 

Let's play Devil's Advocate for a moment.....maybe it is a ruse and they are going to trade TY if Jefferies is signed?  Bigger payout in terms of compensation and Moncrief's new deal wouldn't be as high as Jefferies or TY's?  It would still allow for Dorsett to remain in the slot and have 3 years left on his rookie deal.

AJ Bouye signing with the Jags.

If he plays to the hype, Jags looking to be a force next year

If we can get him, I seen somewhere that multiple teams were in on the hunt for him

I've wanted him since the end of last season always thought he needed to move to a man to man scheme he balled out when the boys started playing more man

Trade your #1 WR, who was the leading WR in yardage last season, to depend on 2 WR's that have trouble staying healthy.... I don't see any way that happens.

He's a big possession WR that's great in the red zone. He's also great beating man coverage and will allow single coverage to Hilton and Moncrief. 

 

I don't think anyone thinks of Alshon Jeffrey as a possession receiver.

 

He's asking for $14.5 Million per.     That's #1 receiver money that typically doesn't go to a possession receiver.

Remember, I was playing "Devil's Advocate"....my assertion has as much merit as 90% of what you read on Twitter :)haha

I could see it. The way I view Ballard and this roster right now, it kind of feels more and more like Luck, and probably Ryan Kelly, are the only 2 players that are really safe. Everyone else seems to be up for evaluation.

Why is Jacksonville not throwing money at Romo? Keep hearing Denver and Houston, Jacksonville would be way better with Romo.

 

Two reasons.     One,  Romo wouldn't go there.    Romo needs a team built to win NOW --- this season.   J'Ville,  even with all their money,  is not ready to make a deep run in the playoffs just yet.     Maybe soon,  but not yet.

 

And two,  not everyone loves Romo enough.      He gets hurt a lot.     You throw a ton of money at Romo and then he gets hurt again and then what?

 

Those are two very good reasons.

When his time comes....   Moncrief is going to get a LOT more than $6 Mill per.

 

That's what happens in free agency......

Probably Jamal Adams or malik hooker in the draft too

Not exactly, they've just signed (or look to sign) Barry Church at S and they already signed Tashaun Gipson a bit ago, so safety may not be a need (I hope this is the case as I want one of them to fall to us or close enough for us to trade up for.)

Maybe they are making a play to draft Fournette or Cook early??

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
