Yelder has always been a little overlooked. A basketball player who decided not to play football until his junior year at Southern High in Louisville, Ky. — in part, Yelder said, because he didn't think the football program was good enough, an idea he now thinks was ridiculous — Yelder arrived at Western Kentucky as a preferred walk-on.

Where have I heard something similar to a previous Saints TE????? :thunk:

He is. iirc though he dropped an easy pass earlier that game because I remember (could be wrong) being like "You catch THAT but not the other ball?!". Evans is such a stud. NFCS WRs >

No more guaranteed money on his contract.

Wants guaranteed money on his contract.

Pay the man his guaranteed money!

Though it's all speculation right now per Rappaport. He wasn't at OTA's last year either. Team doesn't seem worried about it. :shrug:

I mean it may not be guaranteed but it might as well be, they aren't getting rid of him. Still dumb NFL contacts aren't guaranteed.

It does suck, but isn't that surprising to have evolved as it has. Rich people (the owners) fuckin' SUCK. The NFLPA needs to push for full guarantees.

He's talking with the team if he has concerns, but all he'd get is maybe some of his money guaranteed.

He's probably a little pissed we drafted a 1st round wide-receiver and thinks it might be over concerns for his foot in the long-term.

Sounds like the Antonio Brown situation a couple years ago. Pitt moved up some money for a couple years and Brown was happy. Not a extension really, just moving around money in his existent contract so he gets more now. As it stands I think Julio is like the 9th highest paid wr in the league. That probably has more to do with it than the Ridley pick tbh

That's how contracts work, though. He used to be the highest pair WR in the league.

Yeah I agree. Every year someone else is setting a record for money and everyone else’s contract looks small. Welcome to the nfl I guess?

The Ridley pick does make it interesting if he actually does hold out...obviously it would be a hit but not as bad since Ridley seems ready day 1 to contribute.

Whatever ain’t my money pay the man and let’s win some ball games

If you’re Julio’s size and you let a 6 foot rookie mug you then you don’t deserve a flag.

I mean...size means nothing when you are about to receive a pass and get tackled before the ball even hits your hands...

Let's see how good Michael Thomas catches from his back when Alford spears him a second before the ball gets there :colbert: OH WAIT Alford would get flagged!

Yeah because he doesn’t play physical and doesn’t have room to outrun people in the end zone.

Julio has always been a home run target. He needs space to thrive.

Matt also isn't very good at throwing to the corner inside the red zone. He's much more comfortable over the middle in that spot, which is why having good tight ends is so important... and why not having good tight ends has been absolutely loving us.

That duo won't miss a step. I expect that Howard will slowly begin to get more snaps and more targets this year, exactly how you want to develop a young tight end. Brate is super reliable and still extremely young. Those two could easily be the best tight end group in the division for some time imo
