Our offense would be a lot better if we actually called better plays. What would Edelman do in our offense? Amendola would get told to hit the street again.

Dez Bryant would be an absolute monster in New England. We tell him to line up in one spot and just go. They don't design plays for him or quick routes to maximize his yac.

Getting another WR will help only because Tony Romo and what he does. But I have no confidence in Linehan and Garrett system.

Alshon Jeffery was better than Dez last year. Idk why anyone wouldn't want him, but it's a pipe dream

Why does the offense need a pro bowler at every position in order for it to function?

There are a number of positions that would be wiser to invest in over the #2 WR. I agree that we need an upgrade, but not at the cost of what Jeffrey will command.

Agree
Spend the money on defense
If you want another WR just draft one in the middle of the draft
Can't pay that much money for one position

I'm not sure Dez would be okay with Jeffery on board. I see those two clashing. That would be very bad for team chemistry.

If Dez can't deal with having another talented WR on the roster, then I don't want him on my team.

It's got a crew top. It's gots to be good.

Conundrum is made by Caymus which is the only wine maker to ever produce a "Wine of the Year" twice.

Though Conundrum is their "lessor" brand of wine. It's still quite good.

2010 Schild Estate Shiraz is a screw top wine too, but I promise you. It's extremely good. While some screw top wines aren't good. Some screw top wines are ranked way up there.

I would much rather they entice a RB with that cash.

This is the question that needs answering.

I strongly believe that Alshon Jeffery could be the missing piece of this offense, that he could take tremendous pressure off of the running game, off of Tony Romo, and off of Dez Bryant. I can't imagine anyone stopping this offense with Alshon Jeffery as a part of it. I easily think we would be the best offense in the league.

I think it would open things up for Beasley and even Terrance Williams in 3rd/4th receiver roles.

The problem though is that in all of this I think I've understated his market value. I thought receiver salaries were going to peak, especially after Dez Bryant's season last year. It's not just about his health, but Demaryius Thomas also didn't have the greatest season last year.

With the retirement of Calvin Johnson, I think the suitors for Alshon Jeffery (assuming that he isn't franchised) will be too many... You'll have Chicago, Carolina, Detroit, and probably New England scrambling for him. They'll all look to pay him top dollar.

There is no way he should make as much or more than T.Y. Hilton and that is 13 million per year. I'd actually be a lot more comfortable paying him around 11 million per year, but my guess is someone out there will give him the 13.5 to 14 million a year that other top receivers are getting and honestly that is too much for a WR2 who has some injury concerns...

Percy Harvin for a very cheap, per game salary might be worth looking into, but most likely this guy is done.

Any real attempt to bring in a quality receiver pretty much means Jeffery or bust. Drafting a player, simply isn't going to get it done in the time frame we have to win a super bowl.

Way overkill. If this team is going to get another star on the offense, it needs to be a stud RB. He will do for this offense, for Romo, or any young QB coming in over the next few years, much more than another stud receiver would.

I think we do need another good WR but I don't think he has to be an All Pro. We need a RT, we need another young RB, we need a plan for a good backup and then we need to look at Defense IMO. We need the TEs on the roster to develop but we have spent a lot or resources on that position in the last few years. JMO

Who would get them the ball all year? I say just focus on defense until we get the QB situation worked out.

I agree - we have more than offense to win a Super Bowl as Denver showed this year - resources should all go to the defense.
