At this time Worthy, Rice and Skyy are the only WR’s on the payroll next year. Of course they will likely bring back a couple guys like Juju, Hardman and hopefully Hopkins.
This is the right kind of move to get a depth player with traits to role out WR5 or WR6.
The guy reminds me a lot of Chris Conley. And you can be damn sure that his traits make him a much better option than Skyy or Ross [Reply]

Technically Thornton should be under team control next season, right? I think if he's activated to the 53 by the end of the year, we'd have him eligible for an RFA deal. I think that's how these sorts of contracts work anyway. [Reply]

He hasnt been able to do even that. We have 2 starting tackles who might not even make any other NFL roster, let alone start.
Yeah...this is just dumb.
Jawaan Taylor is a more than adequate starting OT. Above average as a pass protector, below average as a run blocker. He's exactly what he appeared to be.
Which is fine. He essentially IS Cam Robinson. Very very similar player. He costs too much to have put him at RT, but that's a coaching decision. From a talent standpoint, Taylor is just fine. [Reply]

Believe so. I think this signals what they are wanting/needing to do this offseason.
They need to hammer key positions like OL, DL and corner this Spring. Aside from RB, which can be filled cost effectively in FA or in mid rds of the draft, they need to really get some talent in here at those positions.
