Free Agents Next Year...

Evans, Thomas, Bushrod and Bell will be resigned. Harper and Sharper will be resigned unless someone throws an insane contract at them and/or for some reason they just want to play elsewhere. Moore should be resigned but with all the depth at WR and he too possibly being offered top dollar elsewhere, he may move on. Fujita and Clancy are solid players but I can see them being gone unless they take vet minimum or non-guaranteed offers. Brown is gone. With his injury concerns and contract being up, unless Bushrod crumbles, there's just not a need for him.

The Moore move is the one I am most concerned about. When they signed Henderson this year and dragged their feet on Moore I was concerned. Here we go again for next year. Moore is the best set of hands we have. He's not the biggest but he's the best. The best separator, best route runner, has the best glue, and the most elusive after the catch. I hope they help themselves, Drew, and me, and lock him down before the season ends.

Uh, Marques Colston?

Agreed that Lance Moore is AWESOME, but this is a pretty bold statement ... Not sure if I agree with it. Moore will be back though --- I think Henderson gets moved though ... If Meachem keeps it up there is just no room for him with Colston, Moore and Meachem.

I say it because I've seen the other guys' drops, including Colston. I've also seen him get separated after a so called catch...because he sometimes reverts back to the old bread-basket thing and arm cuddling of the ball. Colston is great on the move, especially in stride, but Moore is better 0-to -60 and making people miss. Moore gets open more and doesn't have to stop a 225lb frame to make an adjustment. I love the tandem and our full receiving core, but pound for pound, pure receiving skills, Moore is the better receiver.
