1.) Gaffney is coming off a season where he caught 60 plus passes. It's why I think it's funny everyone has him as, like, the fifth receiver in the rotation. He's not a game breaker, but he's productive, and has been getting more so over the past couple seasons. He had 875 yards last year. He's not exactly a slouch.

2.) Stallworth is a camp body, and as I said last season with Terrence Austin and Joey Galloway...it has to be argued that, if you can't beat the old guys out in camp, chances are you're not ready for primetime yet. If one of our rookies or second year guys can't impress coaches more than a dude that only caught two passes last season, does that say more about Stallworth, who's just trying to get a job and is playing for nothing, or the young guy who the team actually has something invested in that they can't beat out.
