wr replacement

[Blue In BC]

Its one thing keeping a solid player (ROY) like Schoen though some injury issues, especially without dead money in the deal. Its quite another buying one at a premium price from someone that cut him.

White, I don't think it was an issue with his play that caused HAM to release him, but the fact they have a Lawler eating up the highest salary in the league on the roster.  The fact that he can do returns is a huge addition as well.  Can you imagine White/Vaval back for a punt?  With the ST shenanigans we can get up to?  Fun times.

Hervey's decision to give guaranteed money/bonus to someone who may have an injury issue that winds him up on he 6 game with a reduced $SMS benefit is questionable as well.

Schoen was coming out of 2024 after only playing 3 games. Many questioned the wisdom of a large contract and heavy signing bonus. At least with a nominal singing bonus, SMS is sheltered on 6 the game IR.  It was a risky decision and unfortunately didn't pay off. Sometimes that works out but it was a high risk choice.

We'll see how 2026 plays out. Nobody is safe from injuries even in TC.
