Wanna trade with the Bears again?

[Cape Fear Cat]

if we got him cheap enough I wouldn't be upset. But frankly, I'm kind of curious to see how things shake out among the WR's we already have. I think AE is shaping up to be a good player, and for whatever reason, the guy we got from the Chargers has gotten my attention too. I thing Nanee (I probably got his name wrong just then - no offense intended) could turn into a good alternative on the opposite side of the field from Smitty, as a credible threat helping to stretch the field.

Kind of wish we would have went after Braylon Edwards.

If we went after santana moss why not Lee Evans..he is still being shopped.

[CatfanMO]

TO may be a possible candidate also..He is expected to come back for a cheap price and is getting close to 100%. Would not be a bad thing.

[Davidson Deac II]

Gettis is having an MRI right now, so lets wait before we panic.

[Clicheking]

No thanks. I'd rather see what we have in the wr's we have now. Plus I don't want to give Marty a chance to be, well.... Marty.

I would not trade anything for Knox.

That's another option. Arguably a better one (though it's up for debate).

Moss was a FA, and would not cost us a draft pick to sign him. Lee Evans is not a FA, and would cost us a draft pick.. I am sure that's the reason.

Got ya...

We are talking about TRADING in this thread for Knox.

So with that said If the Panthers wanted Santana Moss why not TRADE(which Im not a fan of) for a Lee Evans instead.

I think he is a better option to strech defenses with better size than Knox(although older) and very similar if not better than Santana Moss.

[Mr. Scot]

Well, Cotchery's not an option anymore. Steelers got him.

(wasn't my favorite option anyway)

Shut your ***** mouth:mad:

damn we would have a lot of wr's

We actually just have the kind of depth most teams now have in the "rules tilted towards the passing game" NFL. And I don't mean that to be snarky. Fox just never wanted to change his conservative approach.

Still ironic that the only year we had 3 starting caliber WR (Smitty, Proehl, and Moose) was the year we almost won the Superbowl. And we did draft some WR's, just none successfully. When you think about it, the only other year in the entire Fox era we even had a legitimate #2 WR was Moose in 2008. Most years we haven't had anybody outside of 89.

I still wouldn't put us in the same situation as some teams, but I do think we have better depth at WR than we had since 2007 at least on paper. I really thought our passing was going to be good with Smitty, Colbert, Carter, and Jarrett (who I really thought was going to be a star). Just goes to show what "on-paper" means.

However, I think Olsen will be an X-factor for us in the passing game. With the running game we have, we really only need 3 legitimate receiving threats in my opinion to be a competitive team.

I think that is why Rivera is harping on the #2 receiver thing so much. We have Smitty (if healthy) and Olsen. But we really do need another guy to step up.

why is the bears' trash better than our trash?
