Got to keep Landry over Parker...

Letting him go would be like Wes Welker all over again. I can just imagine the Pats with Landry...what a freaking nightmare!

Only difference is Landry actually put up numbers for us
Welker did not. As for Landry on the Pats just name me one receiver
that the Pats paid the $10 million+ a year that everyone believes Landry is looking for
JUST ONE.

Not sure letting Landry even get to free agency is an intelligent move to begin with
but with our cap situation it will be interesting who we release and who might restructure
to afford Landry while in a bidding war for his services
 
Landry is easily the single most valuable player on this team. If Parker somehow finds a way to be more durable, however, then you keep both by all means. Otherwise, it's gonna take another first round pick to replace Parker eventually. We've gotta have a size/speed combo receiver in this offense, or any offense for that matter.
 
No question, Landry has proven worth and DVP has flashed but can't remain on the field. Just imagine our record without Landry and do the same without DVP. Sign the man.
 
Parker has the rest of this season and next to show us what he has. Is he reliable, so far, no. If he breaks out this season or next, we have to keep all 3. I don't understand this Landry OR Parker talk. Will they both require a lot of money, yes, but this FO needs to figure out a way to pay them both. Landry, Parker and Stills is a great group to have for many years to come. We won't have to worry about drafting a WR for years. You let 1 of them walk, we have to waste a much-needed draft pick on a WR. Cut the players that can be replaced and find a way to pay the core guys that will bring this team success for years to come.

That is too much money to invest into a WR corps. Really can only afford one other big contract in that group to go with Stills.
 
It's a lot, I get that, but can it happen, yes.

That may be too much when you look at the breakdown of payroll per position for most teams, but when you have playmakers that you draft high, you HAVE to find a way to keep them. This may be a non-issue anyway if Parker can't stay on the field. We don't have ridiculous talent at many positions, but WR is one of them.
 
Again, if it comes down to it, then it's easily Landry + Parker with Stills out if we cannot afford all three. That is, of course, if Parker becomes more reliable. If he doesn't, then he'll quickly become an afterthought.

Landry really shouldn't be in question though. He's the one player on this team we cannot succeed without. I'd say only Ajayi is arguably more valuable.
 
Of course Landry is the logic answer. All I'm saying Parker better get his butt out there this Thursday
 
If Parker can stay healthy they need to put him on the trade block. If the Bills got a 2nd for an oft injured Watkins, Miami should get no worse than a third if they can keep him on the field. Landry is still under investigation and could be looking at a 6 game suspension for domestic issues and I have mixed feelings on resigning him. From a purely football standpoint I go forward with Landry and Stills and say good bye to Parker.
 
Parker has got to go, I don't care what he does next year. Unless he's willing to take average money which he won't be. But watch, he will probably play all next season and have a killer year but I still wouldn't pay him, he's not consistent. Landry on the other hand needs to be paid, not paid top 5 wr money in the NFL but he deserves to be paid like an elite guy.
 
We have the rest of this season, next year, and the 5th year option before we have to make a decision on Parker. By that time, Stills will have an out in his contract, and then you can determine who is more valuable between those two.

Landry is too good of football player to not lock up long term. There's a reason he's been to the Pro Bowl, and has been elected as an NFL TOP 100 guy by his peers.

Dating back to his college, we have enough sample size to pass judgment. He is what he is. Good for 10 games a season. If that. I say shop him around as soon as he is back. If you wait and he injure again, he has no value. Can't have it both ways.
