Heck, I would take Cruz but he willl get some good money from NYG and wont be leaving there.  While Wallace, Bowe, Jennings seem to be the big names on that list, I'm just not too high on them and don't think they will be worth the money they will demand.

Hartline is interesting but not worth the reported $5-6 million he wants.

What do you think about Donnie Avery or Brandon Gibson?  Might be worth looking at and will be able to get at a good price, imo.

Dwayne bowe, Steve smith seem like the gamers of the bunch.  Still wouldn't pay more than  5 million per year...

Devery Henderson,

Steve Smith is not a FA. 

In response to Muzwell's comment:

You are correct, I will remove him from the list.  There is a WR on the Rams named Steve Smith, fee agent 2013.

Devery Henderson,

 

 

 

He would at least be a deep threat...although that is really all he is good for.

I don't see the Pats looking at him. However, I'm not BB so...

how about either henderson or hartline. cruz is decent but he's going after the big bucks, a lot of people are high on wallace but im not completely sold, he's fast though.

Aquib Talib... sorry.... I had too...

 

By the way.. welcome to the 3000 club.  I need friends....

HA!  That brings a tear to my eye.  TY56.

Getzo...

It is a puzzle to me why the Pats have had such a poor record in drafting W/Rs.  Apparently free agency is the answer.

Scratch the top cluster. Too expensive. Jennings battling injury, not on board. Wallace fast, not good enough for the $$$. Like Bowes talent, not his cost and desire.

scratch the bottom cluster. All most likely done.

I like Avery, Hixonon. Pats are still looking for a 4th option WR, not a #1 option. They don't need to break the bank and shoot for a pro bowler. They need a threat that can separate down field for 3-5 targets, drawing a safety and opening the field up. Avery had drops, but also has the speed to separate. Hixon can also factor into the return game. Both should be reasonable $$$$. 

If you get bowe at good price, he fits. He's big enough to complement Lloyd,Edelman, (Welker).

Other option is just go size.  Sign Tony Gonzalez and move Hernandez to the outside. Dump Welker. SO TES are gronk,gonza,hooey, fells.    WR... Lloyd,Edelman, Hernandez, Slater.  8 total

Two big receiving TE...  WHO CAN DEFEND THAT?  plus Lloyd and hernandez on the outside.

 

3rd option , dump fells,Welker... sign Gonzalez and bowe.  This would be unstoppable combo of size speed and talent. And DEPTH. 

TEs.  Gronk, gonza, hooey, Hernandez,

WR. Lloyd, bowe, Edelman, Slater.

In response to TFB12's comment:

Well, I think I'll start posting a lot more!

I wouldn't be shocked if both Lloyd and Welker were not on the team next year. Lloyd was just OK,and he has a relatively large cap hit. I'm not sure he's worth it. Welker won't be franchised, so unless he comes down considerably from last year's demands he'll be gone. Stop with the Tony Gonzalez talk, he's either done or a Falcon.  

There is this thing called the salary cap that will prevent them from signing all these marquee free agents while keeping all their own players. If they let Lloyd and Welker go, they can afford to resign Vollmer, Edelman, Woody, Donald Thomas, Trevor Scott and a few other of their own FAs (White, Arrington?), and maybe a Talib (if he takes a discount to stay) and a FA receiver like a Hartline (but doubtful a Bowe or Wallace). And that's probably about it.

Of course they can free up some money by restructuring contracts like Brady and Mankins, or making a radical move like trading VW (I hope not). But renegotiating might require extending those guys, and are they going to do that? 

Anyway it will be interesting and a lot can happen between now and March 12 (when free agency starts).

Gonzalez has been talking retirement, and even if he did not, ATL will sign him with big bucks in a heartbeat. Yours is one way wishful thinking.

 

I will be shocked if the Pats don't go after Amendola.

Yeah, that's the guy who was with the Giants, had a nice year and then left for Philly. I think he got hurt and was never the same. Decent player if he's healthy. Caught 107 balls for 1,220 yards and 7 TDs with NYG in '09.

The good thing isalot of these guys don't have high numbers, none of them could command over 5 million
