We released Keyshawn and have no viable number 1 reciever here. The only available starting caliber guy other than Keyshawn is Terrell Owens. Eric Moulds will likely be released but will probably command more money than Keyshawn with about the same production. Javon Walker intrigues me, but I just can't see a deal being worked out. The Packers know how talented he is and I think they would be hard pressed to let him go for a 2nd round pick. On top of that, he is coming off a major injury so who even knows if he will be the same player...
The way the situation is now, Terrell Owens has all the bargaining power since he knows how desperate this team is for a WR. On top of that, the draft class is extremely thin at WR compared to that of other years. TO and Rosenhaus know all of this and we will probably end up over paying and locked up in a long term deal, if in fact one does get done with TO.
I was hesistant to support the signing of TO to a short term incentive laced deal, nevermind a long term one with guaranteed money. I still can't understand releasing Keyshawn, since it would seem to me we have more than enough cap room, even with whatever his proposed re-worked deal would be. If you are going to release your most productive reciever, at least have a deal locked up with his replacement.
I hope the Cowboys aren't just sitting on TO and are in contact with Green Bay about Walker. IMO if some deal doesn't get worked out by Friday, Dallas needs to jump back and re-sign Keyshawn ( on the premise that he would not hold a grudge and come back, not to mention another team hasn't signed him already) and draft a WR this year. I dont like Holmes or Jackson in the first round. If we decide to go this route give me Sinorice Moss in the 2nd or Greg Jennings in the 3rd. I think Jennings is a major sleeper at WR and both of these guys could be productive from day one.
We are in a tough spot, I'm hoping Bill and Jerry have something in the works and a contingency plan...
I have to say, even though we are only 4 days into FA, this team is no better than it was last year.
