Wanna trade with the Bears again?

From the Red Zone: Johnny Knox could push for a trade

Iffy on the idea myself. Lord knows he's fast and could be used in a DeSean Jackson type role, but I'm not sure how durable he is and I think we may already have enough receivers to pick from. If it weren't for the Gettis injury, I doubt I'd even look at this.

Still, we've had good luck trading with the Bears of late, and Olsen would likely have some insight to offer on whether it'd be a good idea or not.

Worth a thought, but I'd likely say no to anything higher than a late round pick in return.

has anyone heard the severity of the gettis injury yet?

Not a word.

If it isn't bad, I wouldn't give this notion much more thought. Looked like it might be though :(

That, plus Rivera doesn't generally seem all that thrilled with our receiving corps.

He is pissed that he would be the #3-#4 WR in Chicago.

With Naane, Gettis, LaFell , etc on the roster.....he would not be guaranteed to be any higher than that here.

Assuming Gettis is healthy. Plus LaFell doesn't exactly seem like Rivera's favorite player right now.

As a pure vertical threat, something the Coryell offense can use, he's worth a look.

That said, Mike Martz runs a version of a Coryell offense and he considers Knox "inconsistent".

(though in fairness he also considered Greg Olsen trade worthy)

Again, I'm iffy.

I agree that he is worth a look from our perspective.

Given "why" he wants a trade is what would concern me.

Seems he is pissed that he is not the #2 WR now....seems like a whiney little bitch to me.

    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
    • Burns at 5-6 seems....a little aggressive.
