Next Tier of FA WR - New England Patriots Forums

Who do you think they are ?

With Finneran about to be gone, I read that Antonio Bryant is looking like he'll be staying in SF to sign. Givens is looking too expensive.

Josh Reed ?
Jabaar Gaffney ?
Eric Moulds (trading a mid round pick) ?

Who else do you guys like ?

If not I guess we're locked into drafting a few guys and hoping Bethel or Bam compete well. I think we could survive a year with Troy as the #3 guy and I assume he'll be back.

If Moulds or Givens isn't our #2 WR by April then I will be officially worried about our receivers.

Great minds think alike.

From your list, Gaffney is interesting. Morgan is highly questionable and Gardner has been a total bust although he interested me coming out. It's not a pretty list but I imagine we have our eye on a couple of guys.
