UNDBIZ Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What are your thoughts on his choosing to sign with KC? Personally I'm not an Alex Smith believer (he wins, but he doesn't make his receivers very popular) and I'm not sure the offense is right for him. Hopefully it works out.

Even with Jamal Charles, Andy Reid likes to "chuck the pigskin". Dressler I think could be the next Wes Welker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Welker wouldn't be The Wes Welker if he hadn't had the 2 best QBs in the league throwing to him his whole career though....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I really would have liked to see the vikes take a shot at this guy. Sherels is a good punt returner, but I think Dressler will be solid in the NFL on special teams. I think he could be a solid receiver off of screens too; turning short passes into long plays. I don't see him being a stretch the field kind of guy, cuz he would really have to burn someone since he doesn't have the height to go up an get the ball; but maybe he is that fast, its been quite a while since I saw him play in college. Good luck to him, hope he get a legit shot to prove himself at that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he did start his career in Miami. I think Dressler will do fine even with Smith throwing to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a good fit in Miami with Tannehill and Mike Wallace, Hartline is getting injury prone and Dressler would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big10Sioux Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I am hearing Andy Reid is something of a slot receiver guru... Welker is the obvious comparison but a majority of NFL teams have that Dressler type of player that can do a lot things for a team... He is certainly talented enough and I think some of his intangibles (smart football player, dedication, work ethic, team player, etc.) will set him apart. This was a calculated move with team and timing in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bincitysioux Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Dressler's contract: 2014: $400,000 2015: $500,000 2016: $600,000 He made about $125,000 per year in Saskatchewan. Congrats Weston! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know but I assume that a rather small % of these numbers is guaranteed. He has to make the team to be paid those amounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know the highest paid UND player in the NFL past or present? Kleinsasser? Kuper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeder11 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Anyone know the highest paid UND player in the NFL past or present? Kleinsasser? Kuper? Kleinsasser made $3 million in 2011. Kuper made $4.5 million in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibleedgreen Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Anyone know the highest paid UND player in the NFL past or present? Kleinsasser? Kuper? I believe Kuper did. Last year his salary was $4.5 million/yr while the Sauce was set around $3 million/yr. Not 100% sure though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub27 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Before the 2013 season started, Kuper was due to make $4.5 million but it was not guaranteed. Becuase of his injury and it wasn't known how much he would play, he renegotiated his 2013 contract to remain on the team. For 2013, he was guaranteed $1.05 million with another $1.7 million in game/playing bonuses. He still has unguaranteed amounts of $5 million and $5.5 million remaining for 2014 and 2015 which I would guess will get renegotiated as well.
