I'm not going to get overly excited about this one. I agree Galloway is up there in age and he might have hit the age wall along with the injury wall. I don't even know if he is lock to make the final 53 man roster yet. Let's see what he can do in training camp and preseason before I even pencil him into the Pats' depth chart.

If he has anything left, this is a good signing. Otherwise, it is a low risk move, but not a huge amount of upside.

He was the FA WR I was hoping for all along. This year's offense has the potential to be every bit as good as 2007's.

I'm with you. I know the name, but can't recall the last time I heard about him doing anything spectacular. Course on this squad his age won't be as much of a liability as long as he can make a few important plays per game, take some of the heat off Randy and Wes.

Maybe he'll be one of those guys who doesn't make the 53 in September but would be brought back later in the season if an injury leaves us with an open spot. (Provided of course he doesn't sign somewhere else.)

He is the #3 WR, not the #1. He gets on the field with Moss and Welker. How could you not like this?

Yeah he was hurt last year. So was Brady. Doesn't mean they won't be any good this year. You got to sign a guy because of what you think he will do this year, not what he did last year. But if you insist, he had 1000 yards a game the year before. And the year before that, too.

A good signing..I mean why NOT have another deep threat?? And maybe slower..but still athletic and smart...THAT is important as well..Another solid target.

Good stuff, though, really....
Yup - I've argued that the Patriots needed to have a better deep WR threat than Gaffney opposite Moss. You've taken a strong stand opposed to that notion and have ample statistics to "prove" why you're right.

Looks like you and Belichick proved me wrong by letting Gaffney go and signing Galloway.

Hey - by the way, how'd your prediction that there was no way on God's green earth that Cassel would ever sign the franchise tender go?

Do you think I should put your erroneous prediction in my signature line? Or would that just make me look like a pathetic loser?

Some think that having another deep threat WR would actually make it EASIER on the opposing defense. I'm not sure why.

Well, given that the last time, you actually rigged the sig, as I showed you to have done, you do as you wish. Please, feel free. Of course, it's funny that I wanted the team to sign Galloway, yet you keep making certain claims against what I said.

Of course, when people realize that you've been deliberately lying about what I've said and taking it out of context, it suddenly begins to make sense.

As for you looking like a pathetic loser, how would that be any different than how you look now when you move goalposts, take points out of context, flat-out lie and wrongly keep beating the same dead horse for years?

Uh, were you asleep during 2007?

Low risk, high reward signing. Only question is if he can stay healthy.
