I'd keep Philly and let him be the WR4 with some potential to be that slot guy if he shows the potential. 

Go out and make DeSean Jackson our big splash in FA and let Ginn walk. Also bring in Luke Willson for TE2

No need to bring in a soon-to-be 31 year old Victor Cruz when you have Philly/Byrd for the slot/WR4

Roll with:

WR1: KB13

WR2: DJax

Slot: Funchess

TE1: Olsen

TE2: Willson

WR4: Brown/Byrd

 

Ikr why upgrade our phenomenally awesome slot receiving group that hasn't been impactful since Cotch.

I don't think I'll ever completely trust KB to be 100% and i'd really rather move on from KB&funch... I know I know INJURIES take time to come back from but he doesn't play his size most of the time. [emoji52] Plus didn't someone, that most of the drops came from KB and Ginn

Philly is a good route runner but honestly you don't need two of them.  Ginn or Brown.  I was adamant about keeping Brown because he was younger and a good route runner and clocked right behind Ginn.    We could save some money and Brown could develop more without Ginn in the way.  If we keep Ginn than let Brown walk.  

If we sign Cruz I would maybe keep Byrd as a back up and let both walk.

 

You need multiple "speed" guys.

I feel Philly is the type of guy the Patriots will pick up as a FA and turn him into a 500 yard per season contributor.   We just don't have the right coaching to use him correctly.     I'm not a huge fan, but honestly I'm not sure of what mistakes should have took away touches last year for him.

If NE can make LaFell look decent, they can turn Philly into a frikkin super star! I agree that he is a decent player (not great, but decent), we just didn't have room for him because Ginn was playing better, and returning punts. If I had my way, I'd let him go, resign Gin to a team friendly (he can only play worth a damn here) deal for his veteran presence, and draft Switzer to take his place over the next 2 years. 

If we can sign Cruz (and he's got anything left) or a legit slot WR as a FA, this plan might change.

Say what you want about Philly, but he knows how to get open. 

And also, he's right, he doesn't have that many drops. Now the preseason is a different story, but it's just that, the preseason. 

The KB return caused a lot of our WRs to get a reduction in playing time. 

OL, Cam struggles, and Shula's scheming all had a huge part in why receivers behind KB, Ginn and Olsen were completely uninvolved. Philly was getting open this year but just didn't get the targets.
