Look at the FA Rumors and Reports thread

Because we all know Cold, Hard, football facts win Championships.pfff

We need help everywhere and that includes WR. We haven't a 2 WR threat since the early 90's.

In my opinion the defenses lack luster stats can be attributed to the new system just as much as lack of talent...same for the oline.

The point is when you are hurting in this many areas you need to find as much talent as you can whereever you can find it. I don't see any marquis offensive or defensive lineman nor a quarterback available in free agency. Might as well take a shot where the talent is available. It's not like we are giving up draft picks to sign FA's. It's not your check book either so let em have at it.

I would rather have rice than holmes so I hope the tweet mentioned above pans out! Thank god for being able to talk about actual football again!

I have heard on more than one talk radio program, that "Holmes to the Skins" may be one of those "discussions" that took place under cloak and dagger during the lockout and no one would be surprised if there was not a "handshake" deal in place for when the lockout ended.

Say what you want about Holmes, he made Rothlesberger a star though.

we had a good passing offense last year, we dont really NEED a WR (if we sign moss), but having a 4th option (after moss AA cooley) would be great if it's cheap, and we can afford a cheap deal that doesn't work out, hence mentioning plax or the like.

save cash for CB/DL/OL.

Yes but now we will have John Beck so we need all the help we can get

SmootSmack · 07-26-2011, 11:12 AM

Someone here at work just told me Holmes too. But someone else here told me Braylon...and I know they're not signing both

If it's Holmes I gotta give props then to JLC for being the first (and for a long time only) one to call it

Defensewins · 07-26-2011, 11:52 AM

I really do not want a high priced FA WR. I like the WR's we have drafted and picked up. They are adequate and cheap.
Our issues on offense were O-line and QB related. Lack of pass protection and running game and a QB that can produce consistently on his own.
The only positions I would like our team to consider a high priced FA is at NT, OG, OT or QB. I would also consider one to replace Carlos Rogers, if we lose him to another team. But getting a high profile WR is going right back to the Ceratto (i have never seen a WR I did not want to get) days.

Skins4L · 07-27-2011, 12:16 AM

Santana NEEDs somebody else. Passing was our strength... yea so what.. we still need to get better than mediocre like they said. Strength or not it was mediocre.

We could have used another playmaker last year. And were gonna need one this year down the stretch. What if Santana gets hurt? Whoever wrote that article isnt a fan of ours the slightest.

Watching JLC confirm this on NFLN. If you look at his dry-erase board in the background, you can see that Jackson (Vincent?) is at the top of the list for the Skins. I couldn't make out the 2/3 other names.

VJ is at the top of the WR list, not the Skins
