BUT, everyone has a price, and older high priced vet in a position of depth == wouldn't put a trade past Scotty McC. Good organizations seem to trade good players like this for value. Like - what would the Steelers give us for Garcon with their WR2 suspended? Again -- would love to keep him this year and there's a 99% chance he's here -- but there are only so many balls to go around and we'd probably be fine w Djax/Doctson/Crowder/Reed/V.Davis this year anyway.

NEXT year, we may need *more* WR depth.. We'd have Doctson / Crowder, but can DJax or Garcon be a good WR2 at age 31? Not confident yet in Grant or Ross.

I certainly think so...with DJax its only the injuries that hold him back. I think Garcon could be like a Bolden type, possession, tough catches in traffic, strong...

I think having a stable of young WRs Grant, Doctson, Crowder and Ross is a great thing. Also Diggs from Richmond (6-4) and the WR Maurice (6-3)from Cal as UDFAs were brought in to pressure Grant and Ross. Both these guys can play and they are BIG.

WR is a position of strength.
