At any cost? He's a clear step below everyone on this list. If you can do it for 25 per, then fine...anything more than that (with a half of a season of real production) is way too speculative.

No, certainly not at any cost, but I still think they should get it done. He’s definitely a young talent who’s proven he can play the question is imo is can he stay healthy?

Yeah, his career outside of Brissett throwing him a ton of passes in the second half of last year in mostly garbage time has been pretty mediocre. I personally would like to see more from him before committing big money. I don't think he's anywhere near most of the names on that list.

But his career was mediocre because he was #2 or 3 on Murray's list of receivers. And whether it was lack of oline protection or Murray's lack of being able to see over the middle he never had a chance to throw to him. Garbage time or not, Wilson proved he can catch the ball.

Possible, but pure speculation at this point. Let's see him do it for over half a year before committing crazy money?

I see your logic, but I’d rather sign him when he’s cheaper. Some of the catches he made last year were the type of catches we were expecting and hoping Marvin to make. He would go up and get the ball and Highpoint it and take it away from the defender. He’s shown he’s capable. But I understand where you’re coming from.

Oh, the other reason you extend Wilson now is because Marv will be eligible going into next season and you do not want to get caught needing to extend both of them at the same time... especially if Wilson continues to grow and Marv finally breaks out.

Very true. So, should Mr Cheapskate sign him now to a reasonably better contract or bet that last year was a fluke and IF Wilson proves he's as good as last year, end up paying MORE than he had to? We're outsiders, I would hope the organization has a better feeling on which way to go.......but we've been fooled before
