He definitely would.
Plus he was also a safety so he can be used on offense and defense. Really broke out this year from being nothing on the Rams for a while.
Millen might grab Calvin Johnson in the draft so its not to hard to understand that he will be expandable. But Martz may want to hang on to one of his guys, and vice versa the Furrey might want to stay with Martz since he can use Furreys stragths to his advantage.
Really like the avatar but just dont let Maroney see that Lomo label. He hates it.
Furrey reminds me a lot of Troy Brown and Wayne Chrebet. I think that Furrey would make a great #3 receiver.
However, its going to be interesting with Kight, Childress, Gaffney, Jackson, and Caldwell to see what the Pats do for their receiving corps.
I also wouldn't mind seeing Drew Bennett or Kevin Curtis signed by the Pats.
Furrey had 98 catches, not 119. But your point is still good119 receptions, 1086 yards, & 6 TD is a #3 WR??????
I didnt know he hates it. That is bad Karma. I will change it.

Furrey will be a classic buy-high mistake. His value will never be more than it is right now. Combine that with a lot of teams with a lot of cash and a a lot of demand for recievers (they're always in demand because teams see WRs as a flashy quick-fix) and there is no way I see him as a good investment.

I would NOT overpay for him..BUT I would hope the Pats would gp for him if reasonablt priced..Furrey will be a classic buy-high mistake. His value will never be more than it is right now.

I seem to remember Troy Brown having 101 receptions, 1199 yards and 5 tds. Troy has really only ever been a #3. He was forced into the #1 role because we didn't have anyone else and the Pats did everything they could to get him out of that role.
Maybe Furrey is a solid #2 and I will admit I didn't see him that much. But, as I said, he reminded me a LOT of Troy Brown and Wayne Chrebet.
The trouble with RFA tenders is they come with a draft pick, a mid-level tender would mean a 1st round pick for Hackett, seems self-defeating somehow...I think Furrey is still a bit under the radar type of guy because the Lions sucked and Roy Williams got all the pub. He will definitely be a player who will get a lot of free agency action just because that position is devoid of a lot of quality free agents.
We do not need a high priced, stud WR. We can get a lot of a quality WR who might not be a marquee name.
I would be happy if we picked up any of the following receivers who will be available in free agency: Furrey, kevin Curtis, Drew Bennett, or DJ Hackett (ok, he is an RFA but with all the high priced WRs on the Seahawks' roster, they may not be able to afford to keep him even at one of the higher RFA tenders). Also, I expect several older veterans to be cut.
He definitely would.
