  • The price would have to be right, but adding a veteran receiver makes a LOT of sense. I don't think anybody on this forum feels good about our second-year WR's from last year's draft (mostly excluding Coleman, but we don't know yet). I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on either Vincent or Victor Cruz in the slot. At this moment, our slot receiver appears to be Rannell Hall, who I like, but who is also unproven. I believe he was on track to making the team before sustaining a serious injury (broken leg maybe), but I could be mistaken. I'm not sure if I have him mixed up with somebody else, but I want to say the coaches were extremely high on Hall, and he fills a need on our team left by the departure of Andrew Hawkins. If Hall can remain healthy and pick up where he left off, I actually like the thought of what he could potentially bring in that slot role. Vincent's allure is that he is a true "high point" receiver, and that's a QB's best friend at times. Throw a well-timed lob on one-on-one coverage, and Vincent can make that grab. Like so many pointed out, that was supposed to be Dwayne Bowe's niche as well, but I don't see the harm in bringing Vincent in for a workout and seeing where he's at.

  • Vincent started 5 games last year... 9 in 2015... that's 14 in 2 years. Where's the value in an 11-year vet whose body is breaking down?

    Bad luck? OK... here are his YPG stats for the past 5 years...

    • 86.5
    • 76.5
    • 62.6
    • 54.3
    • 34.6

    See a trend?

    Some of y'all will sign any name you recognize that's still breathing, if it comes available...

    Every report says Coleman is spreading his wings this off-season by organizing workouts in Texas with other WRs and Kess. Let him assume the leadership role... or at least try to do so...

  • Just No!

  • He and Evans were supposed to work like ice cream and cake, but it turned out only Evans was producing. He would have been one of our cuts like Gary had he been on this team last year.

  • I like the idea of signing Cruz.

    We really do need another big body opposite of Britt..

    Would like to see Higgins and Ricardo step it up this year

  • Victor Cruz would be a good sign. Vet min.

  • De'angelo williams intrigues me the most.

  • Victor Cruz would be a good sign. Vet min.

    Always possible that another off-season of "rehab" would make a difference, but word last season was that his last injury hurt both his speed and his agility. A work out ought to tell the tale.

  • In our current situation we couldn't have VJ taking plays from our 'supply' of young receivers. We've got to figure out who the bums are and dump 'em.

    Barney sticking around may have helped this case. They off the field buds. Barney from the derby was then off to visit last chance run with visits to Panthers & Pats..Probably time for D-low to do the same also 😡. Last season we had a WR that broke his leg early. Last preseason he caught about everything.Randall Hall. still on the look though

    He sure looked like he had plenty left in the tank every time they called on him. I'm sure he'd like to run it up the Steelers butt now.
  • Ok let's talk younger additions. What say you to OGB Jr currently with the Eagles. Rotoworld puts him on the roster bubble after they acquired Jeffries. I think he's been underutilized.

  • Who?

  • Odell Green Beckham Jr...no thanks..

  • Green Beckham's 1st name is Dorial & I agree with the "no thanks".

    Mike

  • Definitely a checkered past. Have not seen any issues though since he entered the league. Big tall target with huge wing span, likely could be picked up for very little.

    lol... I could lie and say the right set of initials would have made a difference, but I doubt it...

    ... and... ummmm... no.

  • I like DGB.

  • Honestly not sure why such a lack of love for DGB. In limited opportunity on the field he has posted decent numbers. Big tall strong and the capability to be a play maker. 6'5 , 237 and runs a 4.49, has the wingspan of a pterodactyl. I do not believe he has had any off field issues since coming in the league two years ago. Perhaps there are other things I am missing here. I think if you put this kid on the field as a starter he is a lock for 1000 yds receiving and 9 TD's

    While we are on Philly receivers, it is said that Jordan Matthews may also be available.

  • He's 6'6 and runs a 4.4 last year only had 350 yards. Before that 500. Really young 24.
