OK. Now you're up to 2 out of 1,500 or so members.
0.1%.
My guess, is that when all is said and done, about 5% want to cut the guy.
It's not exactly an epidemic.
Actually it is only one because i want him here.

The Pats should keep both Welker and Lloyd and look for a deep threat to replace Deion Branch who did less than nothing this year on the Pats (this is only a comment on his professional contributions or lack thereof).
With a credible deep threat and Welker & Lloyd, plus Gronk & Hernandez, the Pats would be more than good to go.
Lloyd IS the upgrade to Branch going forward.....and a damn huge upgrade for that role.
Now, let's leverage Brian Daboll to bring Dwayne Bowe over as the deep threat and that offense is all set for next year (maybe a mid-round OT pick as a Solder/Vollmer backup - - move Canon to solely being a roadgrading guard backup with Thomas for Mankins/Connolly)
Yeah, Lloyd had 7 catches on last Sunday. All seven picked up first downs on the reception. All people focused on was his lack of YAC while ignoring the fact that 7 of the 19 first downs the Pats got through the air were converted by Lloyd.
Here is the salary information:
He was paid a $3m signing bonus on a 3-year contract. His signing bonus proration is $1M per year.
In 2013, he's due a $3M option bonus, $1.9M in salary, plus a workout bonus, for a total of probably about $5M in new money. His 2013 cap number will be about $4.5M (salary plus signing bonus proration plus option bonus proration). If he's cut before the option bonus is paid, there will be $2M in dead money (year 2 and year 3 signing bonus proration). There will be about $2.5M in savings on the 2013 cap. You'd then have to go out and sign (or draft) a replacement, and that 2013 number of that replacement may higher or lower than $2.5M.
The key question is whether or not it's a good idea to be paying $5M in new money in 2013 to the third or fourth option in your offense. I say it isn't.
Agree completely. Go get a burner in the draft and use them to stretch the field.
4mill is a bargain for Lloyd, I don't know of many guys on vet contracts offering that value.
short area quickness
Nope. Never. Please not that. No way.
Are you familiar with Bill's draft history for WRs?

yes he does
Are you?

By this logic, Belichick lost his TE-drafting privileges before 2010.BB should never ever be allowed to draft another WR before the 5'th round.
