2014 UFA WR

[SuperJTheGreat]

E Decker is overrated. Manning made him.

[FattyFatFat]

We need the tallest receiver we can find for Cam. Maybe Yao Ming

I was thinking this the other day. We'll maybe not Yao. Looking at several of olsens receptions, they all come to him at face level. Olsen makes those catches with ease, lafell not so much. Give me kelvin Benjamin at 6'5 or Ebron from carolina. The taller the better. Nicks is only 6'1 but can still a much better receiver than lafell. If he isn't cheap, then the draft is probably a better place to get a WR/TE.

The fact he looked decent with The Golden Calf of Bristol as his qb means something

Sent from my SCH-I535 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

Just like Gettis looking good with Clausen meant something

Jacoby Jones, Kenny Britt, Eric Decker, Jerome Simpson and Riley Cooper please.

Manning making Decker is preposterous. As has already been pointed out, Decker was producing pre-Manning. He was balling under Orton, and it wasn't until The Golden Calf of Bristol took over that his production fell off.

 

He is just the type of WR that Cam needs, and I'd take him over a high-priced Nicks in a heartbeat.  Decker is big, has good hands, and runs good routes, can get downfield, and is an absolute Red Zone nightmare.  I have watched him for the last couple of years now.  He is not necessarily a legit WR1, but he can put up those types of numbers with another legit threat on the field.

As much as I dislike Ebron because Tar Heel, you make an interesting point here.

 

Who says that our big receiving target needs to be a new WR?  Remember how explosive our offense was in 2011 with Shockey AND Olsen?  Maybe what we really need is another fantastic receiving threat at TE.  Especially a big bodied one that can run block worth half a damn too.  This would open up many more options for us out of two TE sets.  I mean, I literally can't think of a time this season that a TE not named Olsen caught a pass for us.  I'm sure it happened once or twice, but I don't remember it.

[Captain Morgan]

Ebron won't be there when we pick.

 

I have no problem with taking a pass catching tight end in the first.  If Cam has a target who can catch the ball,

who the hell cares if they are a receiver or a tight end?

 

I want two very good receiving options via free agency and the draft.

[Ruff]

I'd just draft one and take free agent wr money and put it towards the offensive line.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

If no Ebron then a Sefrian-Jenkins paired with a free agent...possibly like a ceratain touchdownless Wr.

Add Sefrian-Jenkins at TE and a Wr like a Nicks ...subtract Lafell and a corp of Olsen, Sefrian-Jenkins, Nicks, resigned Ginn and Smitty.

Although id trade up to get an Ebron.

Ebrontron!!!!

[L-TownCat]

Oline oline oline oline!!!! Cam will find receivers If he has the time and the RBs need room to work. I say again, oline oline oline oline.

[top dawg]

Here is an article by the National Football Post on Decker that pretty much gives an idea as to some of the thinking on Decker.  He is far from the chopped liver that some of you are insinuating.

 

It will be interesting to see what happens with this guy.

 

 

[TylerVagyler]

As of now we have about $8-10 mil in cap space for next season. That is before the Hardy deal (I think he will be tagged) and the Cam extension. And Mitchell plus the other UFA will want back.

 

I don't know if Gettleman will be able to work enough room for a big WR but I'm not a GM so I don't know.

I'd much rather get a vet lineman in FA than take my chances in the draft. It sounds kind of counter-intuitive when I say it, but I kind of feel that a rookie lineman has a steeper learning curve than a WR in reference to making the quicker impact at the pro level.  Or, maybe it's just that rookie receivers' feats are more publicized.

[brandon_87]

In all honesty, there's not much veteran options. Boldin won't be worth what he wants at his age. He'll probably end up back in Arizona or something. Decker would be good, but we need a possession wide receiver, not another slot WR we won't use.

You do realize Boldin said the only team he wanted to play for was the 49ers, or he was gonna retire?
