Is Mix tradeable at all?

Thrash, Mix/Mathis, or a trade for ARE most likely to go. No?

I'd put my money that we keep 5 or 6 wide receivers, if it's five wide receivers I think the guys would be Moss, El, Thomas, Kelly, and Mix, but if it's 6 then Thrash stays on the roster. Either way I don't see "Baby Beater" Mathis as anything more than training camp fodder, we don't need him at wideout and we don't need him to return anything.

Not to mention Devin Thomas is a very good return guy as well, which makes Mathis even more expendable.

Well Mathis has almost zero chance of making this team. He needs an injury to another of the players to really even have a chance. The top 4 spots are taken in Moss, Randle El, Thomas and Kelly. Whether we keep 5 or 6 probably determines who gets kept.

Dude, what are you smokin? Please spread it around!

Mathis is a LOCK. They didn't get him just to release him. He WILL be our KR/PR specialist.
The ONLY way he won't make the team is IF he has an injury to keep him out of a significant time this season.

I have apparently, grossly underestimated our F.O. (and not in a good way)
That was just plain stupid.

NFL Photos: 2008 NFL PLAYER'S Rookie Premiere

Photos of the recent NFL 2008 Rookie Premiere.

Has some good shots of Kelly and Thomas. I guess they are going to wear 12 and 11 respectively.

I like that they both have low numbers. I didn't want anyone coming in and having to wear Lloyd's 85 or a Rod Gardner 87. I like the clean slate of these numbers for our new wideouts.

Ali Highsmith was very productive in college, but he is pretty undersized, and he can make plays.

I heard he had a terrible combine & ran like a 4.8 or 4.9 that is why he wasn't drafted.
