The cupboard is bare and we need WRs

[MoistMayonnaise]

Here is the list of available FAs. Not much to chew on.

OBJ and Hurns are probably best of the bunch. Yuck.

 

[Jake]

OBJ tore his ACL in the SB. He's not going to help anyone until the back end of the season (probably the Rams).

We've been down the Hurns path before, and I'd prefer not to go down it again.

We're probably going to go with what we have, for better or worse. Just have to hope someone steps up while Washington and Gallup mend.

 

[glimmerman]

How many do we usually carry on the team.

we knew this 6 months ago

Agreed. The fact that a James Washington injury has caused this much discussion makes me wonder about our ability to evaluate talent on this board.

 

[DFWJC]

The cupboard is not bare at WR
We are just spoiled

 

[Mcsports]

5 to 6

 

[Corso]

Give Tolbert, Noah and Vashon a chance in the pre.
I know they're only going to have Rush tossing the bean in games 1 and 2, but you can still evaluate their route running among other things.
Noah has proven to be a favorite, albeit unspectacular target.
Tolbert might be something.
Vashon might have grown a bit.

I'm not endorsing going cheap, but I am endorsing seeing what we have.

And no, I don't just "like what we have".

 

[Hagman]

Hey, I know a dude who’s under the radar. He doesn’t have a lot of football experience but, he’s fast, hard to tackle, and he would come cheap.

What tha...?
That dude had afterburners on his afterburners!
Look at those legs!

What would Jerry call him?

Jerry has already used that term once and Had to apologize for it.
This prospect reminds me a lot of Robert Newhouse from back in the day.

Lol. Awesome.

Tyreek Hill is going to be out of a job.

OBJ with a torn ACL is still better than 90% of that list.

5 to 6

And we have right now..

I'd prefer to go ahead and get someone if we like anyone who is available. By the time we decided we need another one, it could be too late. Now, if we don't like anyone who is available, then it's understandable to wait. Still, I'd go after Fuller, Hilton or even Beasley, who had nearly 90 catches last year. Just because we sign them doesn't mean they have to play if other receivers are better.

I completely understand your stance.
I'm not going to try to undermine it.

Stephen Jones gave his standard robotic line when asked about adding a free agent at WR after JW’s injury:
“We’re always looking for upgrades to our roster.”

Wow, thank you Stephen Jones for that insightful response.

Yes, Stephen, but this isn't how you find them.

Brown has had half a decade of chances....he sucks. Quit being a cheap azz and go get Beasley....problem solved.
