Right now, I see 4 receivers available (maybe?) who bring the one skill set missing in New England - unless Dobson were to make a huge leap.
Desean Jackson
Kenny Britt
Sydney Rice
Santonio Holmes
The Jackson rumors just don't seem to work for me, unless he's actually willing to take a restructure/pay cut and the Pats could trade off another piece - DA - to lower the WR cost. Don't see it, don't think I want it.
Britt would probably be the cheapest, but man, he sounds like bad news.
Rice will probably be expensive, despite coming off an injury. Several teams are chasing him, including the Jets (money) and 49'ers (cache).
So what's the deal with Holmes? He seems to have just disappeared from radar. Jets dumped him to save 8.5, but there hasn't been much interest reported at all. I hated his little first down dance and point, but then, he was a Jet, so I really didn't like anything about any of them.
But the guy can play.
We could stand pat as we are and be okay. One of these 4 could add a dimension though (I'd add in Justin Blackmon, but I've heard no rumors that he's being shopped).
Which (or none) would you prefer?
