Maybe making room for another WR at camp?

I would like to see either ARE be put in the slot or released myself. I just think that we are paying him too much for the amount of production that he has had.

I agree on ARE being released, he led the league in fair catches and hasnt done much as a wr..

You mean his career high in receptions and touchdowns last year? Yeah, he's garbage, off with his head!

He is making more money than JC for crying out loud. His career season high numbers weren't that impressive to begin with. He is a slot reciever at best.

Does anyone know the level of input that Zorn has had in this transaction and in Jensen's release? I'm just curious to know how much of a say he's had, especially since his name has come up when both of these players were released (i.e. Zorn talked to Jensen and Thrash, etc., etc.). I'm wondering if Zorn in his second year is getting more of a saying in player transactions.

Who's getting paid more than who isn't ARE's fault. That said, even Zorn has said that he would be best suited in the slot. The hope/expectation is that either Thomas or Kelly is the #2 guy by the start of the season.

Hopefully ARE can be a slot receiver due to the emergence of Kelly and/or Thomas. I personally don't really care to see him in B&G anymore either, but we pulled our typical restructure move with him, so now he'd cost a fortune to cut, and we'd have to restructure someone else. I'm tired of that viscious circle.

I agree that he's better served in the slot but if we released him (as you advocated) then what? We don't have anything better than him in house (although Thomas or Kelly should pass him during the season) and there's nothing better available on the market.

Where's the logic in "release him"?

Agreed, plus he only gives you one TD pass per season

Any word on Mitchell's route running? I know when he came in they said that it was a weak point. Could be a tough battle between him, Eloi, Roydell Williams, etc

I hope Thrash does stay here in some form. As said often in this thread, he brought a good thing to this team for a long time.

This team certainly doesn't seem to be holding on to anyone just for the sake of holding on. I hope that opens the competition level across the board.

Thanks James for being the type of player I enjoy pulling for. Would love to see James stick around as a coach for the young wide outs.

I'd say a start like a QC coach on that side and an assistant special teams coach would be great. He knows how to field both types of returns, he knows how to attack returns, etc.

I could see Thrash being a coach similar to Wayne Sevier or Pete Rodriguez. Why not let him work under Danny Smith for a while.
