[TheSpecialJuan]

Uggh. This is a position of great need no one is talking about

I'm just surprised it wasn't the Bills.

he must first be on our team before the bills are legally allowed to acquire them.

It's why I didn't want Byrd gone yet until we had a suitable replacement.

PK/KR should not be its own roster spot.

That's the reason I like Tony Pollard out of Memphis in the 5th or 6th round.  Actually he's one step better: RB/WR/KR.  A poor man's CMC or Curtis Samuel.  The Panthers get their return man and depth at RB and WR (although he projects more to RB).  That would save roster spot for another position, especially on game days.

De'Anthony Thomas is still available

Yes it should. If the player is great at PR then he needs to stay on the roster regardless if that's all he can play. Returns can shift the game heavily in your favor.

Any particular reason newly signed Rashad Ross can't fill this hole?  Just looks at stats, he has a proven year of being successful as a KR, unless I am missing something?

Sure, he is a few years removed from his 4.4 40y time, and helping the Redskins to what..a top 5 kick off return unit (via return yardage average).  Just curious why this guy shouldn't be considered.

Returning punts and kickoffs are different. He doesn't return punts.

Can't be too hard of a skill to cross train in.  If you look at kick returners last year that returned at least 15 kicks, 2/3rd of them also had a punt. 

Quadree Henderson had 9 punts and 5 kick off returns total last year.  Not sure it could really be said he returns much of anything either.

Should be who we sign. I said this after the intial week of free agency. Would rather have him taking up a roster spot than Torrey.

If they eliminate the kickoff then who cares.

its also become irrelevant since the destruction of the wedge and getting on the 20.
