    Good signing. He's a starter in this league.

    I'd say he is a player, but If he's in your top two you don't have a good set of receivers. Its a decent signing for this time of year.

    No problem with kicking the tires. Wouldnt say I'm pumped or anything.

    Seems like a fine depth WR.

    Well said. He can't make matters worse than they are right now.

    In theory with Enunwa healthy he's our 3, which is what he should be. I don't know how Tennessee of all teams couldn't find a role for him.

    He’s a good receiver who got phased out of Tennessee’s offense for some reason. He asked to be released because of it and if wants to make a mark on a team he has every opportunity to do it here since half of our receivers can’t even catch.

    I actually love this signing.

    Talented wide receiver who can fill in nicely in place of Pryor. Nothing lost giving him a shot

    A week late but a good signing. Couldn't run our three receiver sets last week and it hurt. With Anderson and Matthews on the outside it lets Kearse work the slot where he is more comfortable. The offense will look better next week becase of this.

    Swapped a receiver with attitude problems who knows the system for a receiver with attitude problems who doesn’t know the system.

    Interesting. Decent player to sign this time of year but we’ll see if he quits on us.

    So he is the Titans version of Kearse. Except instead of phasing Kearse out our QB just cant seem to find him.

    Didn't Kearse have 9 catches the week before?

    Some people don't think before they type. It is starting to be the norm around here-- especially after a loss.

    Good signing IMO. No harm in bringing him in and helping out our rookie QB.

    I don't quite understand the critical disdain of this signing.

    Last week our #3 WR was Adre Roberts, and it showed. The one and only throw to go to Peake hit him squarely in his hands where he proceeded to deflect it into an INT.

    He's a stop-gap that might surprise in the way Kearse did last year. Likely very cheap, reliable, and will help Sam not regress due to a severe decline in talent after his first two reads. As stated, my only gripe is this is a week late.

    Hard to be very disappointed (or excited) about this move... but it's a solid pickup

    And the Vikings took him away. They watch film too.

    Given how the backups played this week it will be good for Darnold to have another competent receiver to throw to. Good signing

    He can catch the football. That makes him better than most the guys they had running routes last week. Good signing
