I would be very surprised if that happened. I briefly entertained the possibility earlier, but after seeing our offense without him and then how good he was in the playoffs there is no way he gets cut.

SideStep I agree that he fits, sometimes I felt that he wasn't being correctly utilized. Hopefully things change for the better.

gabefergy, I entertained the thought as well. Getting rid of him would seem ridiculous. But you never know. I highly doubt he will get let go. If anything Evans is on a hotter seat than Boldin.

With OTA's and training camp I hope the WR corp stays pretty much the same for 1 time. Hopefully these guys will click together a play even better!

I think we will go after Peter Konz for center, and I think since we signed Cordy Glenn on reserve/futures he will probably take Grubbs place if we can't keep him. I wish Mike Adams would be there for us to replace McKinnie after his contract is up next year. Dwight Jones would be great at WR at 6'5, that boy can catch and run!

Cordy Glenn from Georgia? The draft hasn't happened yet. I think you might mean Cody Glenn, because there is a Cody Glenn who is a LB on the roster. The guards I see that we have are Yanda, Howard Barbieri, Grubbs who's a UFA, and Justin Boren who's an exclusive rights FA.

I don't think so, I think it was a matter of Boldin came cheaper than Marshall. The Dolphins gave up 2 second round picks for Marshall, we gave up a third, fourth, and fifth for Boldin. With the trade to Denver we got Dickson (a higher 3rd round pick than we had), Pitta (a higher fourth round pick than we had), and Kindle (a higher second round pick than we had). If Kindle works out, the way Steve put it we traded our first round pick for Q, Dickson, Pitta, and Kindle - I think justifiably we could say the first three together are worth more than Brandon Marshall individually - just my opinion. I like Marshall, but I like the package of Q and the tight ends a lot more. Remember too, we traded our third and fourth to Arizona for Q and a fifth, and we took Art Jones with that pick, who looks like he could become a nice player for us. So in all, the trade for Q netted us a lot of good players. I don't know if the loss of 2 second rounders (which would have been Torrey Smith as well) would have justified Marshall.

We missed out on Gronkowski with the Denver trade that got us Kindle, Dickson and Pitta. The best TE in the NFL or two duds and a 5th round TE with potential? i'll be surprised if Kindle and Dickson are still in the league in 3 years or if Pitta ever learns to block.

But you might be right about the Boldin trade, it's hard to argue for Marshall, Gronkowski against Boldin, Cody, Torrey etc.

Dwight Jones will never be a #1 type, he's a habitual body catcher.
