Brandon Lloyd

Ohhh, I thought the #1 price tag was what you had to give up to be a RFA. Maybe I'm thinking of franchise players.

this video proves why we shouldn't get him. he had so many highlight catches they had to repeat them 2, 3, and 4 times within one two minute video.

where's the complementary video of all his drops?

John Clayton's take on targeting restricted free agents this year, including Brandon Lloyd, Kevin Curtis and Nate Burleson:

8. Restricted area: The restricted market should be dead. With a number of teams entering free agency with more than $10 million of cap room, what team is going to be crazy enough to waste seven days to sign a restricted free agent if it thinks the other team is going to match? Teams normally stay away from the dozen or so restricted free agents with first-round tenders. This year, it's probably a waste of time to give a tender to a restricted free agent for low draft choice compensation. The teams that have the seven days to match will just thank the other teams for tendering a long-term deal and eat up some of their own cap room. Still, a few names such as kicker Josh Brown of the Seahawks, Nate Burleson of the Vikings and Ricky Manning Jr. of the Panthers might draw interest.

he's not worth what would have to be given up to get him. if he were a UFA i wouldn't care as much, but when you have to trade players and draft picks (which could easily get us 1-2 starters) for one player who is in no way a sure-shot... well, that's a really bad business decision. Especially when UFAs and less intensive RFAs with equal talent exist.

From the Sporting News
2006 scouting report
Strengths: Has good quickness and acceleration. Uses his long arms and great leaping ability to win jump balls and make spectacular catches. Has soft hands and can catch balls away from his body. Has good technique getting off press coverage and is adept at finding holes in zone coverage.

Weaknesses: Lacks the strength to be a physical blocker and gets knocked around by physical defensive backs. Doesn’t get quality separation on deep routes and will occasionally drop easy catches.

Bottom line: Lloyd must improve his strength and show a more competitive attitude to take his play to the next level, but he should have a good career if he works hard.
