krunk Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I have definitely been thinking we needed another deep threat. Didn't have Perryman in mind though but he is fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strachan isn't that fast to me anyway. Strachan, had a long developmental road. Can't imagine last season debacle helped anything? Final roster was going to be a tough get for him this year anyway I think. We were always going to be bringing in a vet at some point, making his spot chances smaller. Pittman Pierce Downs Dulin McKenzie Locks Perriman would creat a strong 6 man core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewColtsFan Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Not sure where to find this, but if I remember correctly, Perriman had a hands issue coming out of college. A high percentage of drops. Don’t know if that has continued in the NFL? Can anyone confirm one way or another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR91 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Kinda curious if this has anything to do with Pitt and Downs being hurt. Shane is very vague about injuries. Everything is it's a little something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t be shocked if McKenzie doesn’t make the team. You're selling Mckenzie short.. he can be very vital in this year's plans. Can't expect rookies to do very well in their first year, and I'd say Mckenzie can compete with Pierce for #2 production this year, and he can do very well in this scheme. He's very competitive and has the experience being the play maker on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So someone might be the odd man out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem like the SPT type to me. Uninformed opinion by me. He is going to have to win the #4 spot imo, if he wants to make the roster. We have to sign him first though.

WR room also doesn't have much experience apart from Pittman and Mckenzie, someone like Strachan can be stashed in practice squad now with more liberal rules and having 6 or more receivers during regular season is not a big deal anymore.

Fine to let him come in and compete, but I don't have very high expectations, as I don't think he brings much to SPT, like Dulin and McKenzie.

gspdx Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Not sure I understand the reasoning for this: If he is a camp body - OK If the goal is to really have him as a contributor this year I would rather have the young guys we are trying to develop get the reps He is 29 years old so not really a long term answer for anything. He probably isn't improving much at this point in his career. Not the best hands so I don't see why Richardson would need a guy like that to help him. I get the idea of improving all areas of the roster, including the bottom, but like I said I would rather have our young guys get the game experience to see if they will improve even if it means some ugliness.

What’s not to understand? Downs and Pittman are injured leaving only Pierce as the only healthy starting WR. He’s insurance in case those two aren’t healthy for whatever reason to start the season.

Shive Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I don't expect much. Perriman has never lived up to his 1st round draft position and I don't see him finally putting things together at this point in his career. Maybe the right offense with the right supporting cast and he can be serviceable? As long as it was at or near vet minimum and he doesn't take too many meaningful snaps away from our young WRs that need them, I'm fine with the signing.

JediXMan Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 A journey man WR most likely a camp body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 It’s a reasonable flyer on this guy. You don’t end up with a strong 53 by coming to camp with exactly 53 worthy players. If he surprises and we have a WR injury or two, he could contribute… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
