Rishard Matthews asks for his release

[BritishPanther]

With some churn at the position, I think our WRs are still figuring out Norv's offense. They're starting to gel and by week 5 we should be seeing a lot more synergy between them and Cam*.

I don't really see the need to add another name to the list. Especially one who is weeks behind everyone else and has to pick it all up. I'm going to ignore him 'giving up on his team' as I don't know the specifics.

*With the exception of Torrey Smith, who looks completely lost at times.

[Captain Obvious]

He gunna be a Cowboy.

You sign a contract (extension) and bitch three game in that you aren't getting enough touches?  Maybe he isn't getting open, maybe he is a one hit wonder.  Maybe the extension went to his head and he isn't working as hard as he did before.

Everyone was happy when we signed Smith.  Many thought he was the answer to our deep threat issues.  He's not or hasn't been to this point.  

OP seems to believe this guy is the answer.  If he's released I would bring him in and kick the tires some but I wouldn't trade for him no matter what they would want for him. We'd do better holding onto our picks. 

We go through this crap every time a player is cut, released, wants a trade, demands a trade, threatens to retire...blah blah blah.

Sometimes I wonder if half of this forum are old ladies that hang out at the thrift store looking for a bargain.....

Get with the program! There are more than a few old men in the thrift store looking for bargains. Women are likely wiser than men. Nothing wrong with a bargain. Matthews has already proved to be more than a one-hit wonder, and he hasn't mysteriously forgotten how to get open. So, yeah, if he comes cheap, at this point in their respective careers he would be an upgrade to Torrey, Wright, and injury-prone Byrd to be honest. 

No worries though. Rivera doesn't seem to care for bargains, he's not really that forward thinking.

That's a huge dropoff. You can invest in the young stud without immediately sending the old horses to the glue factory. They should have cut the man in August so he could hitch up somewhere else.

[Sasquatch]

New head coach who isn't fond of his me first attitude and poor practice habits.  I don't think our team wants that either.

[Nate Dogg]

Analytics show this dude was far superior to Torrey Smith last season.

[TheCasillas]

I'd bring him in. Especially with the injuries we have.

I wonder what’s going on with his targets though? How do you go from leading the team to 3 targets???

Blaine gabbert, mariota can't feel his hand,  can't run the ball, Davis and Taylor are better players....who knows 

[cardiackat88.]

He could just retire at halftime next game.

He's one of the guys they invested in. He just signed a sizable contract extension.

[The Huddler]

[OriginalPantherDan]

Targets? Targets?? We talkin’ ‘bout targets?!

this. Especially if Samuel is returning this week. not to mention the guy will be a free agent, we cant afford a bidding war. someone in this thread said Cleveland and that honestly makes perfect sense.
