The Cowboys will release him before the training camp starts. Some team ahead of us will claim him. Why not give Dallas a 6th rounder and pick up his $2 million salary before he hits the waivers.

Not that exciting to me, honestly.

Nothing special in the size, speed or hands department. He's overachieved at times, but not on a regular basis. These days, pretty average. He is, as has been said, "one of those guys you'll always be looking to upgrade".

Because he's not that good? Plus he's looking for a starting job, and if we're committed to young players then the coaching staff is going to want to have one of LaFell/Jarrett starting this year.

Having a veteran with great pass catching skills in a slot can only help those guys develop. This doesn't mean he won't be a 3rd WR (LaFell being a #2)

He has great hands and is a punt returner as well (something we need desperately)

You can get a punt returner for less than $2MM and a 6th round pick. We've got guys on the roster than can handle returning punts.

For the money he'd want, i wouldn't take him over what we have now.

Even at vet minimum (which doesn't technically exist this season) you'd have to convince me.

I believe we'll learn in time that Armanti Edwards can do anything Crayton could and more, but cheaper and minus the headaches.

I hear that every year brother, and we keep getting worse and worse. Every punt return I just pray the guy doesn't fumble, forget taking it back for a TD

He wants to start. Pretty simple concept there. Some teams start three WR, we're not one of them. He's not going to be a big part of our offense, therefore he wouldn't be happy here and we'd hear the same poo we're hearing from him now.

No.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
