We need to sign Jackson off the scrap heap.

[top dawg]

If we are going to make a legitimate run in the playoffs, in my opinion we need another receiver bad.  Sure I  am encouraged by Byrd, but I don't  think that he is enough.  Moreover,  Funch's shoulder is a worry. Not that I  am a believer that a TE should be a primary receiver,  but I'm also still concerned with Olsen's foot.  Regardless, we still need to shore up our actual receiving corps.  Shepard has been more disappointing than even I  would have believed, Clay drops the ball,  and Bersin is a solid ancillary piece,  but I hardly believe that he could do damage if defenses actually keyed on him.  I think that we should look into signing V-Jax as insurance.

A wily veteran with solid hands and years of experience to patch a hole going into January is a move that Belichick would make.

But he isn’t on our roster

the answer is on our roster

so he isn’t the answer 

[Hotsauce]

What’s his status?

[TNPanther]

We traded KB because he was a bulldozer among BMW's.

Why would we sign an older, slower version of KB?

[Rags]

The Giants didn't even sign him.

Tavares King is one of their WRs.

If he's able to contribute sure but his last two years he wasn't anything special.

[Adb6368]

And I'm over here thinking that we'd have to trade with the Bucs to get him

[Pantha-kun]

not worth it , save all the resources you can for 2018 offseason, theres going to be alot of free agent WRs

Uhhh Jackson is not an older slower version of KB?  Am I missing something here?

Byrd is back and Olsen is back. The sky is not falling.

The "resources" we'd have to expend are a pittance to what we'd gain in the event that we'd actually use him or need to use him.  We're  not talking big money or a long term commitment---not anything of the sort.  

We've all seen Funch gimpy on multiple occasions this season.  If he goes down,  it's not a situation where you have a credible band-aid to do a good impression (like Big Ed did when Olsen went down). 

[Cyberjag]

Think DeAngelo Williams can play receiver?  Because he's in football shape.

[panthersphan]

Might as well sign Kenny Britt and Calvin Johnson while we're at it.

funny bc a WR corp of:

Calvin Johnson

Devin Funchess

Vincent Jackson

Kenny Britt

 

sounds a helluva lot better than what we have, but would it really be better? Idk
