Anthony Bright

What Free Agent WR might be available next year?

Imma go look.

 

Oronde Gadsden
David Boston
Antonio Freeman
Ike Hilliard
Kevin Dyson
Donald Driver
Peerless Price

..Not many. And I think that most of these are RFA.

 

Price will be difficult for Buffalo to resign, they were saying on ESPN.

 

Cap wise, it would seem better to draft a guy.

 

Almost always. Production wise, perhaps as well.

 

Well... me and the Raiders, Rams, Patriots, and a few other teams live in this perfect world of 2 Top quality recievers that would probably start on most teams...

 

I don't know if we could somehow pull off landing driver it'd be huge... but I'd rather draft a WR and sign a QB

 

JESUS. Theres some talent in there, IMO. I wonder how much a Boston, Driver, or Price would cost? Hilliard is talented, but wouldn't be worth the headaches. I aint none too sure about his work ethic either. Gadsden is a good reciever, but we're not looking for another Moose type of reciever, we're looking for a more vertical threat. So that would nix Dyson and Freeman as well. Of the three remaining, I'm thinkin none of them will come cheap, if at all. Boston will almost certainly get the franchise tag slapped on him. Driver may get the same thing, although I don't know if anyone else from GB is becoming a FA of note. Since we're on the subject, how much cap room are we expected to have next year? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, we gotta dump Gilbert next offseason. He and the dead cap space we have had has killed us the past couple of offseasons.

 

There's talent, but I'd bet most of those guys would stick with their teams.

I dunno who'd go unrestricted, either.

The draft, I think, it shall be. I just worry that the draft won't necessarily give an IMMEDIATE double threat at WR. So many rookie WR lately, it seems, haven't panned out.

That could have ALOT to do with the teams that drafted them had superior top 2WR than we do, making it tougher for the #1 pick to crack the starting lineup.

 

Production? You're better off to get a vet. I can't say that Price will be as good as Andre Johnson, but he'll be better now and some receivers do take 2-3 years to completely snap in.

But to tell the truth, where I want the FA money is at right tackle.

Price in particular would probably be hard to re-sign with them having Moulds and Reed. It makes more sense for them to plug Reed in than to try to overpay to keep Price, and God knows Donohoe has never been the biggest proponent of shelling bucks out.

Meat - all those guys are UFA. Dyson's the latest drafted, and that was 98.

As for another FA, Laverneus Coles (thanks WP). Not too bad, has had some good games. Putting him in and drafting a guy would certainly not hurt the team from competition or depth standpoints.
