Our offense does not suck, and Holt it is not even close to Moss talent wise. Seriously dude, quit grabbin on Holt's jock, HE'S NOT THAT GOOD!! There's a reason why the Rams didn't pay the roster bonus to keep him. That alone should tell you something.

I agree. We've got two young WRs to develop, it doesn't make much sense to chase an aging WR who has clearly lost a step. We have other more pressing needs.

Has he lost a step? I don't know that. He played for a very bad team that beat the Skins 19-17. A home game at that. Kelly knees I am not sold on and most likly was a bad pick. Thomas I hope makes it. As for Holt I love to see if he has anything left but we don't have the cash anyway. Dose Pace have anything left? If he did could he move over to RT for a few years?

Torry Holt's release is not surprising given his decline and opens the door for Donnie Avery. - ESPN

Deep threat is not what we need. Over the middle and a good rout runner. I love to see him along with Moss and Thomas see what they could do. But not going to happen with RT,DE and LB needs and No Cash left. Don't get me wrong love the off season pick ups but to throw all that money at three players with three other needs left is short sided.

Hopefully that can be Kelly

I hope as well but the luck that both Kelly and Thomas pan out is poor. But that is the hand that we have been dealt so we will see!

how would spreading the money around and signing 6 average players across all our need positions be showing a long term approach? spreading the money around in one year just ensures more mediocraty.

what's short-sighted is wanting to get 6 average players in one year instead of getting 3 star players this year, one more in the draft, and address the other 2 positions with excellent players next year. we can't fix everything at once. the teams actions this offseason show the team is taking a long term approach.

Two young Wrs that are more than likely going to be Taylor Jacobs redux, not to mention a shorty in Moss that is getting banged up, and ARE that is unreliable. Face it, Holt is an upgrade even with his age.
