I am not a fan of Thompkins and do not expect him to make the 2014 roster but Avant is not an upgrade.
Thompkins – 70 targets, 32 receptions, 466 yards, 4 touchdowns.
Avant – 76 targets, 38 receptions, 447 yards, 2 touchdowns.
still worth a try in camp at least. i mean how bad he can be when compared to our dropsons and dropkins
We're talking 90 men squad now.
I agree with an outside receiver, but stretching the field is overrated. They need someone to stop opposing teams from flooding the middle of the field.

That doesn't tell me about the specific passes thrown to Avant.
he's a #3 WR at best
I hope the Pats give him a look. He could be a good mentor for the young WRs and show them a thing or two.
And why would this mean that we would have no interest?
Even with Edelman, Amendola, and Dobson, we need a #4 and a #5. If Avant is a #3 at best, then he is good enough to be a backup.
I see no problem bringing in several at his level to compete for the two backup spots with what we have a perhaps with a rookie.
I also see no problem with having bottom of the roster players over 30. These are basically rent-a-players. We bring them in to camp and hope that they make the squad for a year. Once in awhile we get a keeper.
Belichick builds a 90 man squad and then more than 1/3 don't make the squad. It is unreasonable to expect every free agent signing to be a productive one.
We will have several signing at key positions, but these are relatively few.
Exactly. And BB is constantly building a shadow roster. Case in point, Anthony Gonzalez, who came up big for us in a couple of games.
Are you referring to Austin Collie? Anthony Gonzalez didn't play for the Patriots.
A big brother program for low quality receivers? Maybe they could try for some talent instead.
