    Who says that a possession receiver "has to be" a veteran?  

    To be honest, I'm getting sick and tired of the FO running these old cats that's on the backend of their careers in and out of here live a revolving door.  

    We lack playmakers!  We need some young lions on this roster....teach'em, train'em and then TRUST'EM!

     

    Who would you suggest us getting Mili?

    In that scenario, I've already considered Williams a goner. Now, if we didn't bother to sign Wagner, then I do think we'd be able to use the other cuts to sign Alshon. 

    They're both replaceable with people already on the roster, but Williams is a fan favorite but really slowed down towards the end of the season. I'm not sure we want to keep him if he's going to be so inconsistent. Our run D really fell apart

    Maybe a Flacco pay cut and or Dennis pay cut idk all the details about there contracts but two guys I could think of that would be willing to take for the benefit of the team 

    Dennis either needs to take a pay cut or leave. We're stunting the growth of our four, young talented TE's by keeping him on the roster. He makes a lot of catches, but can't do anything with them. We need someone who fights for yards or at least has speed.

    Don't get me wrong. I'd love to have the WR group of Alshon, Wallace and Perriman. The problem is, I'm not sure where the $ is coming from to sign Alshon, if it doesn't come from cutting Wallace. It might be possible, but we're going to have to get rid of pretty much everyone that is on the cut line aside from Wallace to sign Wagner, our rookies and fill out the roster with other pieces and parts. We may be able to get creative with the contract and fit it in, but it would be tight. 

    I'm fine with letting Wagner leave and replacing him with Lewis if we keep Ducasse. I'm also fine (but hesitant) in letting Pierce replace Williams. Everyone who is on the cut line can leave if that means signing Alshon. It's time for an infusion of young talent, but we'll probably sign Vincent Jackson and call it a day 😑

    No doubt. The level to which we address the position will depend on what we think of Wallace. He showed signs of returning to at least something closer to his old self than we've seen in a couple years, but to say he did not finish strong would be an understatement. 

    He's due $8M and would save $5.75M off the cap. That's a nice chunk of change and could go a long way to signing someone other than an aging former star WR. Now, who would that be? I'm not sure if it is Jeffrey ... but there isn't much on the FA market. Perhaps we could seek a trade of the ilk that we made with Q.

    If we stick with Wallace, we'll look to sign someone like Garcon. If we are willing to part ways with him, then we'll obviously need to use that money on the WR position and not spend it elsewhere. 

    I hope and think we keep Wallace. He could very well get 1,000 yards this season, still has a lot of speed, and is only 30, but he's not "the guy", and our front office shouldn't look at him as such. We need a big bodied WR that can go over the middle and absorb the hits, as well as burn a Corner on a 9, and that guy is Alshon. He has injury concerns, but look at the miserable Bears' offense. He was really their only choice especially when White went down. He wouldn't be the only choice here, and he will bring a Q-like presence to the team, something we've been sorely lacking since we released him. He's the perfect target for Flacco, and I hope Ozzie signs him. Him, Wallace and Breshad sounds pretty formidable for your starting three WR's.

    Well now that Sr. is done, we need a playmaking stud at WR that Joe can go too like he does with all of his reliable veterans. Time to pay up, Ozzie. Go out and get Alshon. We can't wait on Breshad. He'll be a playmaker, but I think he's going to be a slow developer. Surround Joe with weapons and stop being cheap.

    I think the main thing we have to learn to do is to not worry so much about comp picks.  There are a lot of good players out there that we've passed on solely because we opted for someone else's discard.  It works sometimes, but other times, you have to pick the best player.  Just a couple of years back, we opted not to pay Julian Edelman or Emanuel Sanders $5M/year because we thought we could get Campanaro at the same value in the draft.  I bet they're regretting that decision right now.

    That's so sad. This damn team needs to stop being so stingy and sign some proven, young playmakers instead of over-the-hill veterans or hoping we find a gem in the draft because we can't develop WR's at all. T. J. Houshmandzadeh, Brandon Stokley, Owen Daniels, Benjamin Watson (I will never for the life of me understand this signing. You have Maxx, Waller, Boyle, Crockett and Pitta. Yea, let's stunt the growth of the first two), etc. I remember when everyone laughed because Atlanta gave up almost everything to get Julio Jones. Yea, they sucked for a couple seasons because lack of depth, but who's laughing now? Matt Ryan could very well be the MVP because he's surrounded by studs. It's infuriating. Meanwhile, we missed the playoffs two years in a row and our best WR is 37 and about to play his last game this Sunday.
