OK...bring him in. I know zero about what his status is but who cares...bring in everybody.

hes a solid #3 reciever very branchlike

We already had the white Wes Welker, might as well bring in the black one

He does have good hands when he isn't injured. Unfortunately that seems to happen all too often with Mr. Burleson in recent times.

For vet minimum plus performance incentives, sure. He could be an upgrade on Collie. But certainly I think we'd look to spend more on a steve smith type. I would LOVE to see Steve Smith burning Talib in the AFCCG game!!

Sounds like the perfect Pats FA then.

I'd take Burleson over Lafell every day... and TWICE on Sunday.

Kick 'em while they're up, eh old pal?

Funny lulz.

I wouldn't BB mind kicking the tires and seeing what he has in camp. As others have said, nabbing Steve Smith is worth it even if just for how he gets inside Talib's head.*


*Assuming Talib is healthy to play against the Pats...

he isn't a terrible veteran option if they decide that Edelman, Nicks and co are all too expensive. That being said he is not a great option either, if he is cheap though then sure.

anyone hear Christian Fauria on EEI yesterday talk about Smith?

said he played with him and he is a ticking time bomb. Bad influence on the other WRs, always wants the ball and blowing up about things on a regular basis.....

Sounds like the Ravens have interest in him.

Sources have been saying for days, Ravens, Steve Smith have mutual interest. He just needs to hit the market

Can't decide whether I'd rather have him in a Patriots uniform or on NFL Total Access. His color commentary and analysis have been pretty great so far.

I like him on the outside, a 60/800 type guy who can compliment on our threats. He could be a good vet to add

Not sure if I want a guy that got into a single car accident, fractured his arm in 2 places trying to stop a pizza from falling off the seat in his car.

Or maybe I do?

Those things happen. There was no drugs/alcohol and I haven't heard negative character things

add a stipulation to the contract that he only is allowed to get delivery or Digornio.
