Addison Arrested AGAIN (old news now)

[badgervike]

who determines a catchable ball?  those blathering idiots that claim if they can touch it they should catch it?  we had shit ball placement  most of the season,  even on passes that looked "catchable",  if they are thrown with to much velocity become uncatchable,  especially if they are on cutting routes there the ball is supposed be leading the receiver coming out of the break and they find it on a back shoulder.... not much even the best hands can do to those.  remember its considered a target if the ball sails 3 yards over their heads or hits in the dirt in front of them.  there is no useful information gleaned from looking at our receiving group from the passes they were thrown this year.  the only consistency was the inconsistency.

Two different sources with similar results:

"Jordan Addison's catch percentage for the 2025 NFL season is around 53.2%, though stats vary slightly by source, with SumerSports showing 53.16% (42 catches on 79 targets/routes) and FOX Sports showing 53.2%. He caught 42 passes on 79 targets from 448 routes run for the season"

I'm just asking if we're going to pay full price for Addison, is that the best alternative?

Justin Jeffersons 2025 catch rate is 60%, which is good for 133rd in the league.  Probably means we're dramatically overpaying him.  Not sure how we get out of that boat anchor of a contract.  Can't think of any confounding factors, so probably a much bigger issue than Addison given their relative contracts.

Again though,   shit QB play is going to affect catch rate,  unwatchable balls are still considered targets and affect the reciever catch rate.  Long passes have lower success rate as well,  and Addison is targeted on deeper routes quite a bit.  The stat is not a good picture of what is really happening.   Yes he dropped a few he should have had,  but that number in the 50s is very misleading.   On 79 targets he had 6 drops of record and again,  who decided they were legit drops vs shit throw or defender affected the catch?

Oh! According to a "source." LOL

I wonder if they'd be interested in swapping their problem (Aiyuk) for our problem (Addison) if they agreed to pick up a portion of Aiyuk's contract? I'd imagine with our cap problems that would be the only way to make that one work, but they might be willing to do it

Addison is cheaper and healthier, of course they would be willing to do it

Linking Addison to Osborn is wishy washy at best.  What’s the logic here?  Justin Jefferson is really good so that means the WR2 and 3 must suck?  Why not link him to Adam Thielen who went to Carolina and immediately had a 1000 yard season after he got the attention his talent deserved if he wasn’t standing next to the WR1 of the league?

Addison is a legit good WR.  He’s probably a 1000 yard receiver on several different teams.

Linking KJ to Nailor —not Addison. #3 is easy to come by in this offense

Oy. Yes, reputable. He's a 'rater of burritos'. This defines Twitter in a nutshell. Now Heavy, Viking Age, Vikings Territory and all the other garbage clickbait sites will run with this and now we have a 'rumor'.

Yeah they would jump at that. Aiyuk is a bigger problem than Addison IMO. Forget about the ACL & MCL, and the fact that he makes $30M a year, which isn't much less than Jefferson, Aiyuk is a problem. Shanahan tried to reach him several times last year but couldn't. Left messages that were unreturned. Said he'd never seen anything like it in his 22 years of coaching. 

Addison might be a headache, but he's nothing like that.

Yeah, trading Addison for Aiyuk would probably be a fireable offense. Like there’s so many red flags that would need to be explained away before you could move forward with it. Why didn’t he come back? Is his leg just legit non-functional? Why didn’t he report to the team and maintain communication? Is there a good reason or is he dealing with some sort of mental illness/CTE that further complicates things? Odds are, you can’t just explain away the red flags in a way that makes him worth his giant ass cap hit. How much would SF have to give us to take this burden off their hands?
The Browns got a second to take on Brock Osweiler. I feel like they would have to ship his ass to a non-competitive team for assets, whereas we’re in the building portion of the rebuild not the burn it down portion of the rebuild.
