This would be great. He seems like a Gettleman type of guy too. Great team guy. I'd still like to draft a WR in the first or 2nd (depending on which OTs are around in the 1st).

Being mad at Gettleman is not allowed on this forum guys.

He is only on this team because he is richardsons neighbor and went to same tiny college. He wouldn't be on any other roster most likely. That is why.

But in seriousness.... transformers falling to earth

Haha I'm so happy you guys jumped on that title, I'd be disappointed if not. Well done.

I'm not exactly sure the name of the refigerator, but you can probably get a whirlpool for that if the people are moving and don't to take it with them long distance. I'm guessing $75, 35 guarenteed, 10 signing bonus? Not bad for a refrigerator that can block, no ice maker though.

He brought them in, but they didn't realize what they had till everyone got hurt and they had no options left (minus Turner). But he did bring them in, just didn't realize their potential. But some of that could be Rivera.

There is absolutely no excuse for him thinking Bell could play LT and protect our franchise QB after he was so terrible the year before. But he's left handed! Go ahead and defend him though, blindly. He had a great draft last year, no joke, but he was completely wrong when it came to our offensive line last offseason. They could have signed a refridgerator off craigslist for $75 that could have blocked better than Bell, and guess what? 99% of this board KNEW Bell and Chandler would be terrible, but yet our expert talent scout didn't know? Oher could work out, but still need to draft. Hopefully he isn't just "ok" going with Oher like last year with Bell.

Yeah, the guy who thought Bell/Chandler would be fine for us on the o-line. May pan out but yeah.

I wouldn't be opposed.

I'm happy we're finally looking into options, but I'm not sure Crabtree or anyone left really fills out need (for speed, lol).

Please don't try. Posts like this is worse than complaining posts. Homers and head in the sand users are just as bad on an extreme side of things.

No more possession receivers man. That is why we sucked last year early. We need SPEED. Unfortunately, we lost out on the best speed guy or didn't try (more likely). Now it's posession receivers and low tier guys left mostly.

He "could" be. Smith is more proven as a burner and more dependable (still has some issues though). You get someone that is more of a sure thing here and THEN draft for someone. I will admit, the only thing I don't like about the Torrey Smith deal is 5 years, if we did it I'd rather 3 or 4, plan it so KB is up for extension when it's ending.

Actually, it did. He had over 900 yards and like 5 td's. Perfect numbers for a #2. Bad example. Better example would be Wahle.

I don't think he would be 90%, but nice try. Check those bifocals.

Johnson isn't Smith speed I dont believe, but I'm not argueing Kaep is overrated lol. We needed to sign someone AND draft someone, so I agree with the draft. It's still a crap shoot on drafting WRs despite ONE amazing year last year, so someone proven would help big time in case the draft pick doesn't pan out.

But would solve 1 of the 2 largest issues this team has, which is lack of speed on the outside. The other is LT which may not be fixed in FA anyway.

They probably would have been better off, but like Cam he's needed speed at WR (even though he has a lot of other issues). They decided to give their QB talent, we decided on Ed Dickson.

LOL @ the mentality on this board. This is why we're a mediocre franchise. You have to mix drafting with getting the RIGHT players for what you need. Smith's contract is not bad, considering Maclin is making 11 mill and Cobb is at 10. Smith has probably proved more than them in his career. Not to mention Smith is the perfect compliment to KB and Cam's big arm. Get excited about having Bersin on the outside trying to outrun defenders.

That's what Gettleman and Rivera will be saying after they turn the TV on tonight. They probably forgot it was FA signing day.

Dude, Ed Dickson, come on.

I doubt he would be on any other team in the NFL. He is on the team because of his college and being JR's neighbor, and that's it. He had a few good catches, but he's pretty slow and we need speed. He shouldn't be on the active roster. KB/FA signing/draft pick/ Brown/Ginn/Cotchery is already a bit too much, and he won't be better than any of them. I get it's a "feel good story" and we love those as well as training camp heroes, but let's get over the nonsense.

Good move. Like others have said though, this shouldn't mean we are finished with WR help. We need a more #2 for KB. Sign and draft one is what needs to happen I think. Now I won't hold my breathe during returns anymore, phew.

He's not. He's only 30 and for a one year rental, not bad. His game isn't really built on speed anyway. That being said, I'd like a speed guy still. Torrey Smith would still be nice. There is a ton of WR's out there now, so the market should be decent. I still wouldn't be mad at getting someone like Marshall. Regardless, we should still draft a WR in the 1st/2nd to compliment the upgrade we sign (and we better sign one).
