DeVante Parker RELEASED

[NortheasternPJ]

Go back his Dolphin days. There’s almost never a CB more than 3” from him. A CB is in his hip pocket on lie 90% of these.

I figured he had one monster game against the Pats so BB nabbed him that off season.

he's the poor man's version of some of the stars that are also down there.... he's actually got great hands and is really good at contested catches. Pickens is usually right next to Parker, Jamar Chase was 119th out of 127 in 2021....
THis year these guys were all bottom 10.... Hopkins, RIdley, Cooper, London, Pickens, then between 10 and 15th worst you get Mike Evans and Tee Higgins.

Basically anyone who gets a lot of deep boundary targets is getting low separation numbers.

The bottom players all have one major thing in common: poor QB play in '23. aDOT definitely is a factor, most of the players at the bottom have a relatively high aDOT (deep targets are less reliable, more likely to be contested, under thrown). But it's also worth pointing out that only three teams had multiple players in the bottom 20 in separation: NE, PIT, and ATL. Of those 3, NE players had the lowest average depth of target. Like most stats, it's probably more a reflection of multiple things: bad QB play, bad pass blocking, and, yes, an inability to separate.

Edit: only 2 teams in the bottom 20 had multiple players: ATL and NE. NE had - by far - the lowest average aDOT. NE had 3 (!) players. I mentally put JuJu on Pit, which hasn't been true for years, obviously.

Probably some of that, but Hopkins for example even in his prime is low separation, contested catch guys always are, because the QB will throw it with no separation, where you only throw to your 5'9" slot guy when he gets space.

Sure, but I actually think the QB play was the primary factor for NE (thus Parker). NE QBs were awful at throwing catchable targets to their receivers. And, believe it or not, NE receivers were actually decent at catching the targets they received.

I can't be the only one who thought this was bumped because they extended Parker again.

You’re not. And I immediately got angry.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

From 132 to 127 to 122 to 115. Trending in a positive direction.

Sir, I admire your cup half full kinda mentality.

 

[SuperManny]

I actually assumed someone had bumped the thread because he was cut since there's no way he would get an extension

This is the new "Seymour is Inactive".

Parker finally gets some separation:

 

[Norm loves Vera]

Was going to post what OCD did above..

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Good, we can finally stop pretending this guy was any good

 

[Rico Guapo]

Parker finally gets some separation:

Well played OCD.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Now that's the thread title update I've been waiting for...

 

[sezwho]

Parker finally gets some separation:

“Hey Parker, yeah we’re legally tampering you out of Foxboro”

Its super news - and nicely done.

And there it is.

According to Over The Cap there is essentially no cap savings although they can push $1.5m of the dead money to 2025 if its designated post-June 1 cut. It's pretty bad that they couldn't even trade him with his low $3.2m salary

Devante Parker is the last guy I’d expect to get a free release…

They will get some credit in 2025 if someone signs him to play this year. Up to $3 million.
