Marvin Harrison (Colts) – The 13-year veteran isn’t the same downfield threat he once was, but if you needed help at the wide receiver position, why wouldn’t you float this guy an offer? He can still catch the ball be a great No.2 in some systems. Price could be an issue, but a one-year deal might prove to be a great investment for a team with an anemic offense.
D.J. Hackett (Panthers) – Although he didn’t have big numbers last season (13 catches, 181 yards), Hackett has size (6-foot-2) and youth (27). Might be some value there if you can sign him to a low deal and make him compete at the position in August.
Amani Toomer (Giants) – Another veteran guy, Toomer will be in a different uniform for the first time in his career. He lacks the top-end speed to get down the field, but he has the ability to use his size to produce in the underneath game.
Reggie Williams (Jags) – If you’re looking for pure size at the wide receiver position, check out Williams. At 6-4, he’s a great threat inside the 20-yard line and makes up for his lack of top-end speed by putting himself between the defender and the ball. Plus, he’s only 25.
Joey Galloway (Bucs) – The veteran can still fly and create mismatches on the football field. If you get creative and move him around, he can give you a chance for one or two big plays a game. Might be worth a deal.
Ronald Curry (Raiders) – Need another younger receiver in your huddle? Curry isn’t going to be a top target, but he’s athletic and has some big-play capability. He’s only 28 and might be worth a look — maybe.
Mike Furry (Lions) – You know what you’re getting with Furry — a try hard guy who plays the game hard. Not a bad guy to have around and can be effective from the slot. Not a huge value but still some upside.
Justin McCareins (Titans) – I’ve always been a fan of this guy, who caught 30 passes last season. McCareins has only 16 touchdowns in his career and is more of a possession guy than a deep-ball threat, but he is still a nice complement to a big-play No. 1 receiver.
Bobby Engram (Seahawks) – The long-time veteran is little more than a slot receiver now. He needs to go to a team that uses three wide receiver sets and lets the quarterback run the offense. There is still value here, but I don’t think he can give you more than one season, and he has to be used sparingly.
I would like to avoid the need to draft a wide receiver as a high priority in the draft. If we don't sign another receiver, I would expect us to draft a wide receiver early.

The Jets are expected to pursue Torry Holt, according to the New York Daily News.
They may wait for Holt to be released on March 17, although a trade involving a conditional late-round pick before then is possible too. Holt would have a large number of suitors if he hit the open market. The Jets have a need opposite Jerricho Cotchery after releasing split end Laveranues Coles.
Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post suggests that coach **** Jauron was not in favor of the Bills' signing of Terrell Owens.
Lombardi notes that Jauron hasn't commented on T.O. and that CEO Russ Brandon is now Buffalo's top personnel man.
with the number of picks we have rd 1-3 I would like to draft a WR late 2 or 3. I think there is room for one and I think Moss is getting up there. We can make the position deeper and develope the talent without the need for him to step right in and in 2 or 3 years when Moss is older or gone he hopefully could start. no dig on Moss as I expet a few great years still but just be proactive.
Do any of these guys knock your sack back any more than Greg Lewis?
I'm interested in Joey G, but if Lewis hits the Jugs machine, he's Joey Jr. in the sense of yanking safeties deep down the field.
Yeah, Galloway is interesting, but maybe Lewis makes him redundant...draft has a lot of interesting guys.
I'd love to see them add Galloway; I don't think the Lewis signing is redundant at all. I'd feel much more comfortable with Galloway starting opposite Moss and Lewis coming in on 4 WR sets and only having to start when Galloway misses the inevitable game due to injury.
Then draft a rookie as the #5.
BB brought him in for a workout, so he must have thought that.Do you really think a WR who can't block downfield would be a good fit in the Pats offensive scheme?
