HE WAS HURT LAST YEAR, NOT VERY PRODUCTIVE OTHER GAMES. I AM NOT SAYING HE WOULDN'T BE SERVICABLE, BUT REALLY, WHY NOT MOULDS, BIGGER(WHICH WE NEED) A LITTLE YOUNGER. WHY NOT JEVON WALKER, HE IS BIGGER, BETTER, 7 YEARS YOUNGER. YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO FOR RANDEL EL, HES THE SAME PLAYER, SIZE AND SPEED WISE.

All caps really is unnecessary. I agree that we should consider age, but that can't be a deciding factor. You can't deny that consistent receivers can have great careers after the age of 34. Does production decrease? absolutley. However someone with a performance as consistent as Moulds or Bruce...it's hard to argue they wouldn't contribute to the team with great success. We're not asking him to be a #1 receiever. We're asking him to be an threat. Andre Reed for example had approx 800 yds his 13th and 14th seasons for BUFF. Jerry Rice produced solid numbers for 19 seasons! Don't brush off Bruce yet.
