hes had a decent career. Nothing to be ashamed of. lots of QB's out there who are considered hall of fame worthy who wont get a good shot at a superbowl. and for that one playoff year, he WAS fantastic and got a superbowl ring for his troubles.

honestly, it sounds like hes being reasonably professional about it. even tossing in a joke.

if you are going zero RB strategy he might be a guy you would look at.

lots of teams wont put their prize starters into the first week or two of exhibition. in fact with the shorter exhibition season lots of teams are going away from using starters when they feel they can get away with it. they wanna get the people on tryout some time on the field. so for that reason I wouldnt look into this at all. Teams run a very vanilla offense in the pre season and try not to give too much away in terms of what they plan to do in the regular season games.

it would help if we knew what round you are targetting certain people. I know Barkley is a guy I was able to get on the turn in the July Mock (PPR) and I really like his upside in that offense. Kupp had a 4th round ADP early in the year but now I think is going in early to mid round 3 of most drafts I've seen but will still slide in some drafts. at a 4th round he was a bargain. at 3rd its pretty close to where he should be going. as a second back I like Henry regardless of where he is drafted but I think his ADP is later in round 2

6.06 and 6.08 respectively.

he still has a year to go on the contract. and honestly hes just starting to show his potential. dude should be focused on balling out. if he does, the contract he gets next year will be considerably larger. sure i guess there is the security of being guaranteed money but realistically I dont think injuries have really been an issue with him. If I were him I'd shut up and roll the dice and try to max out my value.

july mock (PPR) Naj and Jaylan Warren were #23 and #24 off the board for RB. so they are both valued as a RB2/3

hes already behaving like a deva. imagine if the guy felt slighted while trying to earn a contract. it would be a meltdown haha fun to watch if you dont like San Fran, but a nightmare if you are a San Fran fan

yes. agreed there. at the far lower ADP its easier to justify Nabers at 59 than Harrison at 35. though I've seen Harrison going a lot sooner than that in some drafts

honestly the scout reports I've seen make me like Nabers in most aspects, but that catch radius and route running favours Harrison for being an early producer. His catch radius is soooo impressive. the one play he was running ball thrown behind him and he bent his body, reached back with one hand and brought in the ball. surprised the hell out of the DB who thought he had an easy INT. and the most impressive part is Harrison didnt even need to slow down. he turned it upfield right away. Most impressive thing I've ever seen. I will say Nabers due to his speed seems to gain better separation. but if the ball is behind him he cant do what Harrison did on that play. so if you have a pin point passer, Nabers is likely the preferred guy. if you have a QB whose accuracy is lacking some, Harrison will actually make up for that with his catch radius and ability to adjust to the ball. I do think Harrison is a nice match with Kyler Murray. and I am expecting good things from him in his rookie year. Nabers is tougher to figure. Danny dimes had a reputation of putting the ball where it needs to be (thus the nickname dimes) but as a pro he hasnt been that good. part of this is due to an inferior line for sure. hard to be accurate when you have to throw early with a person in your face. but if they can find a way to protect him long enough Nabers could do well here. Thing is... if New York Bails on Danny Dimes then we are looking at breaking in a new rookie QB and that hinders Nabers long term. (if you are picking for dynasty) so if I had to bet on a rookie season I'm betting on Harrison. but I assure you both WR are likely gonna have long and productive careers.

it is certainly possible. usually the sign that you are asking too much is when the team gives you permission to negotiate with others. that usually means the team isnt giving THAT to you. now that other teams also are not giving him that money the hope would be that he would realize hes not worth THAT much. but as someone who has dealt with people I can say there is no reasoning with some people. so I dont know which bucket he fits into. but there is a chance this happens.

Amari is also an older WR so you could argue the team is keeping their window open a little longer this way. 3 years from now Cooper will be in clear decline. but San fran can draft someone this next offseason to eventually replace Amari. Also it may solve a cap issue. if Aiyuk is asking for 30 mil, Cooper provides a much more affordable option for them. so I think the deal makes some sense to both sides. its mostly about what kind of contract Amari is willing to sign for.

all that and Naj is still listed as the starter. so that is the direction I am leaning at this time. but its not as clear cut as I'd like it to be.

San Fran will coach him up some. but the coach there will sometimes sit a player if he doesnt do it his way. so it adds risk if he goes there. might be better for him long term, but possibly short term value goes down.
