If we still went after someone like Holmes/Edwards/Rice, I would see that guy and Moss as 1-2, and Hankerson and AA as 3-4. I like Hankerson too but it might take some time for him to work his way on the field consistently. These young guys are going to be facing a steep curve in their rookie years.

Well, Rice is different because he is young. He's going to be 25 this season. He'd be a good signing because he'd still be in his prime at a point where Moss is no longer on the team. Rice is a year older than Malcolm Kelly, and would theoretically just replace him on the roster.

Holmes isn't exactly aging at 27, but he's not Sidney Rice. He's one of the best players on the market, but again, if the goal is to improve the wide receivers by adding the most talent, that would make Moss a complete non-fit, if not a roster obstruction. What I'm saying is that going after Holmes to bolster the ability of this group is one thing. Going after Moss to show loyalty to what you think you began building last year is another thing. Bringing in both is just the absence of a focused plan. It's neither moving on or staying the course. It's megalomania - acting for the sake of acting.

The status quo plus some depth is fine in 2011. That's where Moss fits in, it would seem.
