2012 Free Agent WRs - Who would you want the Pats to bring in - Page 11 - New England Patriots Forums

He is not a free agent, but might be released. But how about Jabar Gaffney. I think he is in the last year of his contract, he knows the Pats system and came here and had a good connection with Brady. Even if he does not get released, Id offer a 5th (unfortunalty we dont have one in 2012 or 2013) to the redskins for him. He's still productive, 133 catches over the past two season for Denver and Washington. How about Lloyd, Royal and/or Gaffney and a draft pick for off season pick ups.

Optimally, re-sign Welker and add Desean Jackson and Pierre Garcon. See ya later Branch and Ocho. D Jax is a circus act but he could fill our glaring lack of a dangerous returner as well as provide a legitimate deep threat. Garcon is another solid WR who must have a high football IQ after his days with Manning.

Realistically, I think we bring in Lloyd and take a chance on another WR in the draft, probably a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

DJack would drive BB out of Coaching no thanks to any premandona WR's.

My dream scenario would be Vincent Jackson followed up by Marques Colston, but it's hard to see that as a possibility when they have to give Welker a new deal as well.

Brandon Lloyd is the best realistic option. Not the mega talent that Vincent Jackson or Marques Colston are and a little bit older, but that's exactly why he's probably more of a realistic option. While he'll get paid significantly, he likely won't see the massive pay day that Jackson and Colston are in line for. Throw in the fact that the Pats probably have a leg up on the competition with the McDaniels connection (and catching passes from Tom Brady's not a bad selling point either) as well as how well he knows the system and he makes a lot of sense.

Bring back Branch cheap as the 3rd WR and that's a hell of a group of WR's. Then they can turn the focus to the D.

I'd say Meachem or maybe a guy like Garcon if he's available. I really hope they don't overspend on a deep threat. Our offense is still going to revolve around the TE's and Welker we only need a deep threat to keep the defense honest. BB needs to (once again) try to bring a play maker or two into the front seven and try to upgrade FS

The guy we need to draft is Michael Floyd, 6'3 225 beast out of ND. Comes from pro system under Charlie Weis. kinda eerie how floyd looks much like David Givens, ofcourse with far more talent.

Will need to move ahead of Bears to get him.

Watch him at 4:08 just scare the **** out of the DB at LOS. LOL
make the move BB !!!!!!!

You aren't a fan of draft picks and cap space are you?

Good luckw ith picking them both up.

They'll likely settle for Lloyd who wants to be with McDaniels providing he is willing to accept a decent salary (and I think his experience in St. Louis, although brief, humbled him). Then they'll hit the draft. you can grab a potential starter with this years draft class in round 3!

Sanu and Criner are my favourite targets of the rookies.

The problem with allowing the offense to revolve around the tight ends is that when one of them is injured-- which has happened to Hernandez in both seasons, you're hamstrung. The offense goes cold.

We don't have any depth behind them, and even when we draft or sign a TE or two this off-season, can they do what Gronk and Hernandez do??

It was a nice story this year, they're great to have, but in order for any offense to stay potent and unpredictable you have to produce a wide receiver who can demand bracket coverage and beat man-to-man.

You have to be able to use the whole field.
