I wouldn't mind it...actually...

Guessing we posted at roughly the same time

Interesting move, although I'd say it's more due diligence than anything else.

I would hope so...

Is Rosenhaus his agent? Bill is always doing Drew solids... The scary part is they often result in contracts.

I don't expect him to be signed, but he does have 4 inches on every other WR the Pats have except Britt Davis.

 

[Jackson 2]

No thanks.

Not enough wr's or te's?

NO GOD! PLEASE NO!!! NOOOOOOOOOO - YouTube

 

[Big-T]

It wouldn't be so bad if they used him in RZ situations, Plax & Gronk is a lot of size to just toss it up and let them fight for the ball, they will beat most DB's most of the time.

I've actually long wanted a receiver with Plax's skill set and I think he has some gas left in the tank, I'm just not sure about him character-wise and wonder how much of the playbook he'll be able to absorb if we were to sign him now.

I also wonder why BB has waited so long to work him out if he had any legitimate interest in him.

 

[fnordcircle]

Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot!

I'll be here all week.

i dont have alot of faith left in branch or stallworth - britt aint it.. welcome plax - can he play for the pats? why not...

NO GOD! PLEASE NO!!! NOOOOOOOOOO - YouTube

Damn it, I came here to post that.

 

[blackglass3]

My first instinct is to vomit. However, as a non starter, this might work out for us. This leads me to believe Stallworth isn't lighting the world on fire and maybe Gaffney and Branch are both on their way out?

I always thought I would hate him forever for his SB42 catch, but maybe this year he could make up for it.

I hate you Plax

Got to believe the interest is legit, wasn't he on the verge of signing with Dallas a day or two ago?

Wouldn't be surprised if he's signed by the end of the day.

It just came out four days ago that Plax is willing to play for the minimum.
