How do you know those teams weren't interested? Maybe the Jets were just more aggressive and made a deal before anyone else? For all we know the Panthers were interested and simply were beaten to it.

Maybe I missed an article from every team that declared no interest.

we don't need santonio holmes. we need a WR that is going to show up, stay clean, and not get suspended for a season.

we need a better WR. holmes isn't that. we DO NOT want to have to rely on him. we are much better off without that headache even without adding anyone (which we will be).

you can not overlook the risk involved...even for a 5th rounder. evidently 29 teams in the league feel the same way...probably would have been more if the steelers had called their division rivals.

teams don't want that guy on their rosters.

But we should rely on a rookie who has done nothing in the NFL. Or a WR who in 3 years has a whooping 1 td and less then 20 catches. Wow I see GM talent writing all over you.

Also the 29 team thing. Well 26 teams passed on Warren Sapp and 19 on Randy Moss. So the 29 team thing doesn't mean that 29 teams don't feel stupid and alot of those team don't have the down right ugly WR situation that we have.

I call BS on that

It's not that big a stretch, not at all.

How about a guy who's gotten three arrests in three years?

Sapp and Moss were bypassed in the draft for character concerns. Holmes has a criminal record as a pro. He's already out four games and one more incident could send him packing for eight games to a year (or more, if it's severe enough).

This is not someone you want to have to depend on.

Burress was instrumental in the Giants' Super Bowl win. I'd say he was worth the risk.

Hey, speaking of low-character guys making game-winning catches in the Super Bowl ...

I wouldn't call him "instrumental" in that game. I'll give you that he contributed. But then the next season, he was gone and left the franchise with a black eye and a gaping hole in their receiving corps.

And seriously, when you think about it, what team needs a "bad boy" receiver with domestic violence charges on his record less than the Panthers, given prior history?

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
