just 'eventually' : who do you prefere between the 3 ?

Johnson... I never liked rogers

Gaffney. He had 55 catches for 492 yards and 2 TD last year.

K Johnson had some very good years in Cleveland and may be able to shine again with Brady if he can come back from his injury. 9 TDs in 2001 but 4 TD is his high since but he's played with crappy QBs.

Rodgers has admitted to smoking marijwana. He has already served a 4 game suspension and is likely in the substance abuse program. 1 more positive test or missed test and its an automatic 1 year suspension.

I really wouldn't want to pick up Rodgers. He is bad too the clubhouse and has never lived up to his potential. I'd probably take Kevin Johnson out of the 3

Just saw an interview last night with Rodgers. Seemed very immature to me, I'd stay far away from that one. Gaffney looks to have the most upside.

Gaffney. We don't have enough Florida receivers on the team. IIRC he was in the same year as Caldwell and maybe he just needs a chance of scenery and some decent coaching and a QB who has time to throw the ball which he did not have in Houston....
Just my $0.02,

I have an acquaintance who works in the Lions organization. He said that Rodgers was the laziest athlete he has ever seen. I don't know this person very well, but his observation does seem to line up with everything else I'm reading.

I'd like to see Gaffney in here.

We seem to be leaning toward taller, bigger receivers with the comparable speed as the two in question, Rogers is a bad fit for us, I would go with Gaffney.

And he's 4 years younger.....

only 'emergence list' or real potential interest ?

 

[Pats726]

I wonder why now...picking one up in the bye week to get ready for the run at the SB??? is CJ NOT ready??I wonder the timing seems odd....

IMO this is just the annual Rolodex building that the Pats always do to prepare for the inevitable injuries further into the season. Don't we currently only have 4 WR on the 53 which includes old Troy and Rook Chad?
The FO boy scouts are at it again, "always be prepared"

Let's hope the first if the best of the three is a guy who couldn't make it onto the Eagles' roster. They're not exactly the Bengals when it comes to wide receiving talent.

i used to think Gaffney was goo till i heard a lot of Eagle TC talk

1. He was very slow to pic up the system
2. He dropped a lot of balls

not only did reporters say that..and not only did he get cut because of that but a few people that actually went to TC and watched preseason game said it alsso

 

[Remix 6]

out of those. give me Rodgers. give him a chance..#1 overall pick whos been ina horrible organization..if BB feels he can revive himself..im all for it. he was the next randy moss that played for horrible team(#1 overall pick) and never really had a QB(Harrington). Hes fast..tall. idk bout his hands now a days but i would give him a shot like i said when he got released

Doesn't seem particularly odd to me. We only have four WRs on the roster and we always seem to have five or six.

And one of the four has been questionable all year.

I would think it even more odd if they were NOT looking for one more WR
