Next year you bring another guy in, hopefully one of the two this year has something, if not then move on.

People harp on how we haven't developed WR's which is true. But that's because we draft them and throw them in thinking they have to be the guys. If you want to develop a skill player in the NFL, most of the time you have to let them cut their teeth in training camp and preseason then let them start pushing the older guys.

But no, let's keep Hankerson and Robinson, they will not be good enough next year to supplant 1-3, and so we will let them go because we aren't going to commit long term to them after 4 years of less then stellar results. The following year, when Garcon and DJax are looking at other offers, we will be stuck drafting out of need, and not for development.

Good plan.

yeah, cause we're really getting rid of garcon, jackson, and roberts next year with the 3 year contracts they all have. and i really said that hankerson was going to be our #1. thanks for implying things that were never said and great argument, but next time, try using facts.

or at least seeing what was written. if someone comes in here and blows it up, great. but saying you KNOW they will and hank/robinson WILL be cut is silly. show me some results first. let's not make assumptions, that based on history, are very low probability.

Sorry if I implied things, but to that end my whole point is that we are definitely NOT getting rid of Garcon, DJax or Roberts next year. Since that is an absolute fact (barring injury or some catastrophe), why not take this year to bring in guys and let them learn. Why keep day old bread that is just ok, and will go stale before you use it (Hank/Robinson w/expiring contracts), when you can bring in new fresh bread(4th round or later picks), and see if that bread could be a new favorite.

I have no idea whether anybody will be cut, I am only saying what I would like to see, because as everyone know our history at the wide receiver position isn't a very good one.
