Pure returners can last a little longer in the league.

Tis true...

great signing, they are doing their best to put out a competitive team on the field

That’s a pretty damn crowded WR room… obviously Roberts is a KR/PR but he’s going to snag a WR’s spot.

I’d imagine the locks are:

Moore, Anderson, Marshall, and Roberts.

Now pick two out of Zylstra, Higgins, Smith, Saunders, Parker, Rambo, Parchment, Wright, Henry, Limu-Jones

I see some of you aren't objective at all. 34 years old is 34 years old. Why do you think that the Chargers moved on notwithstanding Roberts' season? He is a stopgap return man. That's not a slight at his age, that's just the truth. Deal with it! We'll be actively looking to shore up the position in a year or two.

Great additions and resignings before the draft. A very good draft. A very good Undrafted Signings and now a very good Return Specialist. Where's game 1 at? 

[YourLastThought]

Looks like a good signing to me even though I've never heard of him before. After reading on him he sounds damn good.

Does anyone else have a problem with using a roster spot for a kick returner when 80% of the kicks are touch backs?

As a fellow 34 year old, nothing makes you feel older than people saying a 34 year old is old. 

34 is not old for the Earth, just old to be running around with 21 year old beasts all day long.

I only wonder, if he's as amazing as his accolades show...why has he had to bounce around so much.

[hepcat]

He hasn't played a ton of snaps in his career, he's been mostly a return man. Less wear and tear on his body than a typical player at WR or RB. He's not Brian Mitchell but he's still a good return specialist.
