Also, we have a slew of positions that are much more important to fill, and someone like Chad would take up ALL the space...cause he's THE BEST...just ask him.

Good post.
If we want to improve our receiving corps, we are going to have to go get an elite target. However, elite receiving targets cost a lot of money, and rarely if ever live up to their billing. Since signing anything less than an elite receiver will in no way improve our receivers (we go about 4 deep at above average, and Cooley plays the slot receiver anyway), the most intelligent course of action would be to sit on our hands.
Maybe two years down the road, it will become profitable to release Moss, and chase a guy like Larry Fitzgerald in free agency, but for the time being, there's really not a whole lot of intelligent moves that can be made with our wide receivers.
