Why not 7 WR's on the opening day roster?

I have seem the suggestion that Boutte could be traded for an EDGE (Thibodeaux). I would trade Boutte for a LB - we are desperate for sideline-to-sidleine LB. What do we need more? A 7th WR or a LB to compliment Spillane? Easy Peasy. We need the off the ball LB much more than a 7th WR.

I’m on the Boutte train but trading for an LB (and throw in a pick if needed) that can cover and stuff…I’m ok with. However I will be a total douche on this board if he is traded for only a pick.

Pop

yup.

Or Chism, who folks think will be snapped up if we waive him and try to get him on the PS.

I agree, but I think they would move Pop and keep Chism rather than the other way around.

? Douglass is an NFL quality receiver. Chism hasn’t not shown anyone that.
They would like to win games so they will keep the guy who gives them a better chance to win games not the guy who’s a cool underdog story.

Granted, it's small sample size theatre, but he's not supposed to have 4/95/1, with 28 YPC on the non-TD catches, if he's a 4.7 scrub.

I feel like giving up on Boutte is gonna be similar to letting Jacobi Meyers leave. Both developed here, showed that they were solid here, and with Jacobi, has become a really good WR. I think Boutte is gonna be as good or maybe even better because he's shown he can make big plays.

He had 3 catches all season in blowouts against the jets and dolphins. Thats not a strong argument he belongs.
