There are too many people thinking we shouldn't upgrade the WR corps. Is it our first need? No but if there isn't a deal in place to acquire an DE, LB, or HB then upgrading the next need on the team, WR, is a good option.Dislike my post if you dislike it.
There are no consequences. If you want a good player you pay for them. Would I prefer he reworked his contract? Sure.
No, this is an irrelevant point. There is no factual basis to make the claim that there is every reason to believe he would struggle.
Considerably better. Jackson is considerably better than Dobson and Tyms, our supposed outside threats.
It doesn't appear that there are impact players available on D. That doesn't mean you should stop improving your team.
I can def see BB trying to bolster some of the depth issues on Defense.. they have a ton of picks in 2015 considering the Mankins trade the likely extra comp picks.
Here are some potential targets on really really bad teams.
Charles Woodson S
Justin Tuck DT - DE
JPP - DT / DE
Ryan Kerrigan - OLB / DE
Dashon Goldson - S
Chris Clemmons - DE
Shaun Phillips - DE
Mason Foster LB
I can't believe that Jason Pierre-Paul would be available. I know he's in a contract year, but still. He's only 25, and has to be a long-term building block. JPP and Chandler Jones would be a dream set of long term bookends if the Pats could somehow afford them both.
Vjax eagerly left a contending team for the moolah. You might say his leaving was the nail in the coffin of that contender.I'm in Tampa and watch Bucs play a lot. Vjax is still an elite player but he has had some lapses this season in catching. However he is still an explosive player and a game changer. Our very own normally sure handed Minitron has had the dropsies the last few weeks, it happens. Also, his attitude might not be the best because hes on a crap team that is just flat out horrible. He's extremely competitive and even all the money he's making doesn't make up for the emotions of losing every week.

Nobody is expecting Marshawn Lynch to be a Seahawks in 2015 - including Lynch - but he is NOT on trade block for Tuesday's deadline
Even better. Do you think Giants will trade Jason Pierre-Paul to Patriots?
This is his contract year. 2015 he is a free agent. No signs of a contract-extension (yet).
He is 25yrs old. 6'6" and a very good edge rusher (ala Pats vs. Giants in SB).
Giants are 3-4 right now...
Pipe dream, but...

Now with a loser but with the Big Bucks they no longer want to spend, he wants to keep his Big Bucks and go a contender again.
Unfortunately, the Giants have experience in being mediocre in the regular season and still winning the Super Bowl. Doubt they fold the season now.
Not to mention that he's either been injured or rubbish since his huge season in 2011. More name than production these days. This is the first season in 3 years that he's been good.Agreed from the NYG perspective, but would Belichick pay the double digit AAV salary on the enormous contract that it would take for JPP to sign an extension here? I think that's the much bigger concern (even though this is far from anything of a reality).
I would assume that we're going to pay something like that to keep Chandler Jones around, so I'd have a difficult time envisioning paying 2 guys double digit AAV salaries per year on big, long-term deals.
Yeah it's def a pipe dream.. but I have seen stranger things happen.

Also Thomas Davis might be a decent pickup too.
According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, the Bucs will consider offers for former first-rounders Doug Martin and Mark Barron.
Both are caught in the trap that so often happens to first-rounders of previous regimes when new coaches and General Managers take over.
