How long do you keep Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly if they don't produce?

But I sort of envision (hope?) that this season, by the end of the first month, Kelly is firmly entrenched as the #2 WR. Sort of like the Keyshawn Johnson type that gets a lot of key catches, while DT is the gamebreaker. Not as many catches, but big plays.

Thrash should be gone. And yeah I have no idea where ARE falls into it all. And that doesn't even take into account Cooley or Davis...or Portis for that matter.

The fact that we didn't try to extend Santana's deal is pretty damning evidence to the fact that the team is leaving their options open if not actively shopping him though.

I thought he might yield a second round pick, but next year will be his age 30 season, and the market is absolutely flooded with veteran WRs, most of which are more consistent and less injury prone than Moss.

So with that said, its hard for me to see a situation where we get fair value for Moss, at least before the draft. If anything, a draft day deal seems most likely.

The fact that Golston got the 2nd round tender makes it really obvious that they intend to deal him at some point this offseason.

Well New England did trade a 5th round pick for Greg Lewis. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Santana Moss is much better than Greg Lewis (who's the same age as Santana) and would be worth a higher round pick. Now at this point I don't think he should be traded of course.
