So far, Bruce Allen has shown us that he won't go overboard with contracts, and I hope this stays true with VJax...though I am afraid that with Colston going back to the Saints, the price for VJax just got even higher.

VJax is 29. Why would we want to spend big to sign a 29 year old receiver to one of the biggest contracts in history for a receiver and pair him with a rookie quarterback? by the time Griffen is up to speed, VJax will likely be on the decline.... and thats IF he stays clean and doesnt get a year-long suspension.

In three years, i'd be all about spending big on a marquee receiver. right now, i just dont see the point in it (especially in light of our reduced cap space).
