Jags Release Allen Hurns

[Case]

bring him in asap 

 

 

[DaColts85]

Doubtful...CB has stated he is not wanting to pay these guys top dollar.  Hurns can expect some team to offer nearly $8-10mil/year based on these other guys.

[w87r]

I don't see Hurns getting anything over $5m. Would be surprised.

 

Good news is, if we did bring him in, he wouldn't hurt the Comp pick situation.

I bet we reach out. We are desperate for WR.

 

How crazy are the jags for picking Moncrief and Lee over Robinson and Hurns

[gnet550]

I’d be in favor of bringing him in. Good size at 6’3”...let’s go CB he is even young at 26

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I think Hurns could be serviceable with a good QB.

[shasta519]

There's the other shoe dropping. Unless Hurns requested his release, I assume he's not happy with this development. Had he been a FA a couple weeks ago, he probably gets paid.

 

I liked Hurns, but he did not look like the same player last season. Injuries seem to have sapped a lot of his athleticism. If he was still the same guy he has been, I don't think a team trying to win a Super Bowl is cutting him.

 

I would stay away and let some other team pay him on past performance.

That's probably what I would give him for one season to see if he can get fully healthy. He has been hurt the past two seasons and hasn't looked at all like the same player.

I'm an advocate of bringing in a big WR to compliment TY's deep speed.  Wouldn't mind Hurns at all.  

[Fisticuffs111]

I knew he'd dealt with some injuries but man, he can't seem to stay off the injury report.

I can see some teams paying slightly big for him but I doubt it'll be Ballard.

[Boiler_Colt]

Plus he was cut so it does not count against comp picks. I absolutely would be in favor of getting him.

[CR91]

Wouldn't mind taking a look, but there is gonna be a lot of competition to get him

Yep...he has been a target of mine ever since they went out and signed Moncrief.....they don't have room for him. Fair trade in my estimate...both young and Hurns more accomplished.....both hurt quite a bit last year. This is one of those guys I think Ballard needs to really go after. No compensatory pick compensation.....few play makers at WR....hard to tell what Ballard is doing but we have to add some WRs at some point....I think he should be a target...and then look for some under valued gems in FA and the draft!

 

The offense is seriously lacking playmakers right now. Might be the best one we see on the market for awhile. Let's help TY and Andrew...then focus on the big uglies in the draft!

[RealityIsLuck]

Hurns would be a serviceable option as a 2/3 paired with a draft pick would be a nice haul.

Yep hamstring and ankle. I could see another 2 year deal with incentives like Ebron...so we have an option for next year. One thing to remember...he did come back after injury and play well against NE. 6 catches 80 yds not bad. Just look at all his targets through his career. Imagine if he had a qb that could get him the ball. His numbers could have been insane! If we get the healthy Hurns...Luck could have a nice second option to TY! He has been a guy I've been waiting to get cut for awhile with Jacksonvilles WR gluttony.

[dgambill]

If I'm Andrew Luck....this is one guy I'm beating the table for to get me some help. Ebron should add and extra dimension to the offense but Hurns is one of the few difference makers out there at WR left. Sure there might be other cut after the draft but I want someone in here to work through all our off season plans.

We just signed Ryan grant so I doubt we go after hurns

but that only leaves us with 3 proven wides we could still sign him..

[Luck 4 president]

Remember a few years ago when Robinson and Hurns were the best WR duo in the league? That was with Blake Bortles so imagine him with TY and Luck

Grant in the slot with TY and Hurns on the outside?

Why not? 

Grant make exactly 3 WRs with any experience on this team. 
There is no depth; there is a serious lack of talent. Why wouldn't the Colts deem it critical to sign another WR? Chester Rogers has proven to be no better than a #3 or 4. Sign Hurns and draft a WR early, and things go from a weakness to a strength. 

[jchandler7]

Yes please!

This make a Moncrief the #1

He is going to have to earn that there. Cole, Westbrook, and Lee aren't going to just give it to him by default. I think right now Cole is their number 1.

[dgambill]

I'd like to add Hurns. With him, TY, Grant, and Rodgers I think that would allow us to take a wr later in the draft and bring them along. If we don't add a starter quality player on the outside opposite TY....we would be looking at probably one of those twos at a wr. I'd rather wait til next year to invest high in a WR if possible with one of those 3 early picks.

Thanks for the info and it is something to consider, but the majority of those listings were from 2015 when Hurns had over 1000 yds receiving. ...Only on the injury report twice in 2017.

Why he has sucked the last two seasons.

[Finball]

Jags extended him before 2016 season. Would've cost about 3-4M to keep him for for '16 and '17 without the extension. Instead, it cost them 16M.

[lance_m8]

Ballard bring in the guy Luck would have a full arsenal to destroy defenses next year Hilton Grant Hurns Doyle Ebron Luck would be a happy camper

[joecolts18]

Living down here in Jacksonville, FL I’ve seen a good bit of Hurns on and off the field.  He’s a team guy and good in the community.  Injuries have soured the coaches and management towards him but, he’s worth a shot here for $5-$6 mil

[lollygagger8]

Worth a look for sure

He hasn't exactly had Peyton Manning throwing him the ball down there. Look how many targets he has gotten down there. A ton of those are with him open but Blake just can't deliver. Injuries definitely hampered him this year and part of last but the kid when healthy is every bit as athletic and a play maker that Robinson was.
