  • WR options

    do we have any?

    Is there any guys that are going to be cut on June 1st?

    Any interest in trading a 4th or 5th rounder for someone like charles rogers?

    any interest in signing freddie mitchell to a vet minimum contract with incentives if he works great if not cut his arse.

    any thoughts?

    Hell no to Freddie Mitchell. He stinks. I'd rather have Boerigter. There aren't many options--other than drafting somebody. The WR corps will be solid IF Javon makes a healthy return. Big IF, but I'm afraid there aren't many options. I think we go into the season with Driver, Gardner, Ferguson, Boerigter, and a rookie who won't be ready in year one.

      If Gardner can come out and play 1/2 as good as he was supposed to coming out of the 1st round - the line up of Driver-Gardner-Boerictor-Ferguson - would be impressive

        I wouldn't say impressive, but we might not be as bad off as we think. That's a big if. Plus, Ferguson and Boerigter are injury prone. It would really help if Javon came back. We'd be pretty mint. Heck, if Murphy could come back also, we'd be good and deep.

          I'm oddly enough not too worried. They're going to use a lot of 3 tight end sets I predict.

              David Boston, Why hasnt he been brought in? injury concerns for sure cant stay healthy. But big bodied guy who needs a team and we have a WR corp that isnt set. He is a vet that if he can beat out guys would be valuable if healthy. Worth a vet minimum one year contract that TT loves. If he doesnt work out cut his arse.

              Kevin Curtis is also a guy that was good on my fantasy team not a big guy so prolly not a fit here in MMs plan.

              Dez white is also a big body that MM likes.

              Willie Ponder – The league’s defending kickoff return champ, Ponder wasn’t able to defend his title as he was shelved for five games because Tom Coughlin was unhappy with his indecision and ball security on a few kickoff returns. He still averaged a team-best 25.9 yards, though, so Ponder obviously knows a little bit about what he’s doing.

                This is the area that worries me most. Especially the NFL Europe calibur players that will be our starting WR's if we get bitten by the injury bug

                I'm not counting on Walker being in a Packer uniform this season.

                  Speaking of Europe, we do have two new WR's that are evidently doing a pretty good job over there.

                    I beleive that TT is darn good at digging up talent.

                      The receivers will look infinitely better with a running game. That, paired with the fact they're going to use all 3 tight ends. It is also comforting to know that martin and lee are both former wide receivers converted to tight end.

                      I don't think will be the best group in the league if Walker doesn't play, but I think they'll be competitive and not at all a problem if they stay healthy.

                        EVERYONE will look better with remotely qualified starters at C and OG.........hint hint.....TT.....please find go find us at least two of the three and let the rest of the yahoos on the roster fight it out for the last spot.
                        TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                          David Boston got busted for steroids a couple of years ago (probably why he was always injured), and hasn't been anywhere near as good as he was his first year or two. I'm on Ohio State guy, but we don't want him.

                            so how about Ponder since we lost chatman?

                              I'm not so sure those starters aren't currently on the roster. I thought those rooies did pretty good towards the end of the season. With another training camp under their belt with a simplier system, they might be players.
