James Jones is literally the only decent FA receiver left

[Sam Mills Fan]

Sidney Rice? No

Santonio Holmes? No

Miles Austin? No

Kenny Britt? No

Lance Moore? God no

 

I would have taken Brandon f'ing LaFell over all 5 of these guys. So what I'm saying is that this offense is utterly, hopelessly screwed. James Jones, a receiver only marginally better than LaFell imo, might as well be Jesus Christ himself for this team. If we miss out on him TOO? 

 

BEST case scenario would be ending up with James Jones and Brandin Cook as our 1 and 2 next year with scrubs filling out the rest. That's WORSE than our group was in 2013...and that group was pretty bad.

 We will find out who was bad when we see how everyone does in their new homes.it may shine a light closer to home.

Jones, Jerricho Cotchery, Mario Manningham, 2 early picks on WR's.

Hope we can sign James Jones to a reasonable deal and throw a 1-year prove it deal at Britt.  Might as well at this point.

[LinvilleGorge]

We better hope King and McNutt can contribute.  At this point, it's looking like they're going to have to, even if we sign a FA or two and draft a young guy.

How are we gonna swing that with starters still needed on the offensive line and secondary? Also: Cotchery and Manningham are garbage.

[XClown1986]

We better quit lurking and actually start negotiating if we want to get him.

Manningham has been dealing with injuries, so he'd be a wild card, but Cotchery had 10 TD's last year in Pittsburgh. Paired with a couple high round rookies...

 

Not saying it'd be ideal, but if we hit on a couple solid receivers in the draft we could make due.

 

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

Jones, Cotchery, an OT like Penn or Strief, hit the draft getting another 2 (hell maybe even 3) WRs, another OT, then DBs

[XClown1986]

James Jones and Jerricho Cotchery would make a good 2 and 3. I think a flyer on Britt or Rice would be worth it as well.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Need to sign Jones, Rice, and draft Cooks.

[TheRed]

The only thing I can think of is maybe a trade for a young legit playmaker is in the works.

[Judo Thoreau]

I can only come up with three reasonable scenarios as to what Gettleman is thinking on the WR front.

 

1. He believes that the WR draft class is so amazing that it's worth going into the draft with no proven WRs on the roster.

 

2. He's waiting for the market to dry up, then pick up the remaining guy(s) at bargain prices and hope they have something to prove a la Ginn.

 

3. Plans to make a trade for a guy like Blackmon, or wait until final cuts to find a proven vet. (unlikely)

i dont think we can afford jones
