Default 2012 Patriots Free Agency Wide Receiver targets

These are some receivers who would fit their system well

1. Brandon Lloyd: Has experience in an offense similar to the pats when McDaniels was in Denver. The Pats had interest in him at the trade deadline. He' would be the most expensive option out of these 5. Would be the best fit for what their Patriots need.

2. Eddie Royal: Similar to Branch but is younger and has more explosion. Hasn't gotten much of a chance to show what he can do in Denver since Shannahan left but hopefully the Pats see him as a buy low option with a high reward as opposed to the other big name free agent receivers.

3. Plaxico Burress: Not the #1 he used to be but he's been targeted more times than Holmes this year because of the freakish ability he still has. Burress is a great route runner and would take some pressure off of Welker.

4. Anthony Gonzalez: Has not been healthy the last couple years but hopefully the Pats think they can catch lightening in a bottle with Gonzalez. He's also a good fit for the Patriots offense and they had interest in him when he was drafted. A one year prove it type deal could be worthwhile for a talent like Gonzalez.

5. Jerricho Cotchery: People may not realize it but Cotchery is still only 29 years old and would be a very good option for the Patriots on a 1 or 2 year deal.

The only slated free agent they should sign is Wes Welker.

Hell with all these other diva WR's.

Any free agent money should go towards improving the D.

.
He was a first rounder who got the big contract with the Saints, has a ring and was a HS teammate of Mark Anderson. He has played on a top notch organization with an elite QB and has the speed to be the deep threat missing on the Pats. And he had a big game versus NE in 2009...........He has everything you're looking for.......

i dont like ANY colts WR's, it seems to me that what they are asked to do is extremely simple, and i dont see ANY of them working out here

i like loyd and royal however, especially loyd, but the guy is old

i dont want a possession WR, we need two types, a speedster ala mike wallace and a big wr, ala andre johnson

I'll take Reggie Wayne. BB loves him. He runs every route on the tree.

Physically the guy is EVERYTHING we need at WR: he's a man beater that can beat the press coverage we WILL get from good defenses in the playoffs. I think the big questions is whether he has the mental/emotional ability to be successful here.

What about Desean Jackson?
Isn't he slated to be a free agent?
