Nope, while experienced, he hasn't been able to stay healthy the last two years. Myself, I wouldn't mind signing Drew Bennett, maybe even if the money is right, Stallworth from Philly.

There are a few guys out there - we can do it. BB and SP aren't finished!

Bennett, Stallworth, Curtis, Northcutt, Washington, Horn, McCardell, Moulds - the options are endless.

If the money's right. Seem to be a lot of decent stop gap types out there.

How about Kevin Curtis??

5'11'' 186 lbs.
Age: 28
WR Experience: 4 years

We would have to give up a 3rd for him but we will be picking up some extra compensatory picks.

From Scouts: He is a good athlete who shows solid quickness. He is tough and will go inside to catch the ball in traffic. He will give up his body to make a play on the ball. He can play outside or in the slot with three-receiver sets. He shows solid quickness getting in and out of his routes and good build-up speed when tracking the deep ball. He is a smart receiver with a good feel for finding the holes in zone coverage. He shows the ability to make plays after the catch. He can make people miss and shows a burst with the ball in his hands. He also had good awareness and is adept at getting both feet down on the sidelines. He shows the ability to separate on intermediate crossing routes. He is more quick than fast, and does not have great height or size for the position.

Seems like he would fit in well with our offense.

Stallworth would be my hope. He might demand more money than is reasonable though. Horn doesn't really fit the mold, though that isn't always a bad thing. He is a bit too much of a "look at me" type for my liking. He doesn't create seperation well enough. And he has injury issues. Not too many touchdowns of late either.

There is also a good bit of talent in the draft at WR. If the right FA option comes along, sure lets get him, but we aren't desperate at this point.

Any reason we need to spend a 3rd? Seems like Gaffney who we already picked up for zilch.

If we can pick up another Good FA before the draft we should be in great shape!

The more threats the more we can do to create mismatches. Maybe we can swing a trade with the Rams for a 5th if a 3rd is too high. I like this kid.
