I am not sure this has brought up but why not? He will be a cheap guy to get at this point. Will it be a long term fix? Not really but it does gives Cam another big target to throw at. Only issue is, what type of shape is he in now? I could see Shockey helping Plax get with the program in Carolina. Hopefully, he will come out with something to prove as in showing he still has something in the tank. What you think folks? Heck, I am bored at work and I need something to pass time until 2 pm.

no. the guy was nothing but trouble well before the dummy shot himself in the leg. not a team guy at all and not a guy that can keep out of trouble.

few people remember the headache he was for the giants before the crap that got him in jail. dude was already suspended from the team for blowing off practices.

i really want nothing to do with this loser.

add to it his age and years out of the league? man you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel if you go after this guy or you are some bleeding heart that just wants to give a guy a chance regardless of how bad he could be for the team.

and don't think that just because vick did alright after he got out that this will result in the same thing. as much as i didn't like vick before the dog stuff, he was nowhere near the trouble that plax was.

I agree with you on some points. I guess it just popped in my head. I'm not for it or against it. Thanks

Yeah I'm sure he's going to the Eagles. Him and Vick are buddies, both from Virginia, etc.

I'd much rather get someone like Floyd from the Chargers, maybe in a Smith trade or something.

According to Brandon Jacobs, he has interest in St. Louis as well (Spagnuolo connection).

And re: Floyd, unless they revert to 2010 rules, he'll be a UFA

They call the system rehabilitation. Is it possible that incarceration has changed the man? I do not know many football players other than Vick who have been in this situation, but that seems to be working well for the Eagles.

I do not see how it could hurt to bring him in for a year to compete against our WR's for a starting position on the team. He will hopefully have a pretty good message for our young recievers too if he truly learned anything from this situation.

Plus, our team is desperate for a veteran WR and Buress would be cheap.

I guess honestly, I will take any tall veteran WR on the market at this point......

this has been brought up a million times and NO.

Let him go to the Eagles or Jets who allow trash on their team. We have a future in our WRs, we don't really need him. A vet QB, DT and even a CB, DE would be better.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
