The pool of available free agent receivers is dwindling. Some guys still out there:

Randall Cobb
Michael Crabtree
Dontrelle Inman
Pierre Garcon
Chris Conley
Aldrick Robinson
Jermaine Kearse
Kevin White
Chris Hogan

Slim pickings...

 

[BradyFTW!]

Every one of them is now a has been.

Hey that's not fair, a couple of them never were

 

[italian pat patriot]

Lets hope the PATRIOTS are "sure" Gronk and Gordon will play...

 

[RobertWeathers]

$23my guaranteed....31 years old WR in Aug.

Not in the BB wheelhouse.

 

[trueblue81]

Bet we resign Hogan and that'll be it. I hope I'm wrong and we have a trade in the works but Im disappointed to have not got ourselves a good WR in.

 

[BradyFTW!]

The dollar amounts are vastly different, but this sounds a lot like when 30 year old Matt Forte had big plans to join a contender to finish out his career, until a crappy New York team offered two years guaranteed. (He went 5-11 twice with the Jets.)

Yeah, when a guy signs a contract like this, the only thing you can really conclude is that he clearly doesn't value winning all that much, which would have made him a bad fit here anyway.

At this point, move on & get ready for the draft & explore the trade market.

Don’t know why people wanted him. His eagles stint was regressive. Looks like BB will be getting a wr in the draft.

The problem with the draft approach is it usually takes rookie WRs to get used to our system...

He's had 90+ catches and 1000+ yards most of his career. He fit our scheme well IMO. His time with the Eagles is tough to judge given he was traded into a new system mid-season, traditionally tough for WRs. I agree age might be a slight concern though.

Jordy Nelson released by Raiders

Jordy Nelson released by Raiders

Nelson’s nearing the end of the line.

 

[Raymond]

We need Gordon to get his nose clean for good.

So when does that happen? Seven years, 52 games.

I'd rather not have the corpse of Jordy Nelson attempting to catch passes for us

Mitchell was ok his first year until the knee issue. Law of averages is on our side to eventually getting a good wr.

That’s the main issue. 31 and I think redundancy since we have Edelman and Dorsett. Let’s see where the draft takes us.

I'm fine bringing him for dirt cheap and throwing him into the pile of camp bodies and seeing if he comes out the other end of the preseason.

 

[Mack Herron]

 

[Bill Lee]

Now we know who needs a WR1 more than we do.

 

[SBLIII]

I guess we will have to trade for Hopkins.^^

 

[Ring 6]

Just over 9 million a year. We offered more to Humphires. What the f.uck.

I really doubt we did.
