Everybody is saying to sign this guy, but he has one stand out year and you want to throw the check book at him. 1st, he isn't going to be cheap, he had a big year and will get a big contract. 2nd, we are not going to have that kind of money to throw at him. We have 2nd and 3rd round picks where we could get a productive WR. and if Ramsey is traded, we will get either a draft pick or a player(DE,WR) The money we have should be used to sign quality backup depth at the oline and dline. I think Al Saunders is going to open up our game where our current receivers will be bigger contributers than this past year. Patten has been a productive receiver his entire career, and everyone turns their back on the guy after one year (remember Brunell?). Maybe we do sign a FA WR, but not a top guy, maybe a veteran who is a Gibbs guy. Cooley is going to be a HUGE factor in this offense next year. and KC never really had top notch WR past the #1 spot. Everyone wants us to go out and get Wayne, randel el, robinson, all these top receivers which I just don think would be wise. We have other needs that just a receiver. I know the receiver is a VERY BIG need, but we could address that in the draft or a mid level FA.
