I can appreciate your point, and sometimes I feel the same way, but he's not costing us much, and like it or not, Gibbs looks at him as classic "veteran leadership" material.

His strength on special teams isn't necessarily his return ability, but it's his speed down the sidelines that gets him to the return man quickly, drawing double teams, and downing the ball inside the 5 yard line.

He's non-existant as a receiving threat on offense -- not many will try to argue with you on that. But I'd still say his chances are pretty good at being the fifth wideout behind Patten this year.
